I had this dilemma a year or two ago. In the end, I opted for a Halfords one. The one I bought has an air pump and also a 240v socket on it which I find very useful when out at a car show or whatever. It can charge batteries etc obviously but I mainly use it to power my cool box as the power supply to the cigar lighter is dead with the ignition off. This way, I can have cold drinks etc all day when I am at the pod without having to spend £££ at their stands. It jump started my V8 Merc a few times too!

I got a DB Power DJS30 off Amazon. Very impressed with it. Starts everything I've thrown it at and I've used it to power my oxalic acid vapourisers for my beehives as well. Neat carry case and comes with a variety of adapters and leads.

+1 on the DBpower lithium ones, they're ace.
There's really no reason to buy a traditional lead acid boost pack to start a car nowadays, they're all such curse word quality.
Either buy a Lithium one, or just get a spare car battery and some jump leads.

I made my own out of a set of ultracapacitors like these. Cheap, light, charges off a running car in about a minute, and will start a 4L perkins several times on one charge, without breaking a sweat. I put a little voltage meter on a push-button on the top, and an Anderson connector so I can plug it straight into any of my vehicles, or plug in a long or short set of leads with massive tractor clamps on the end. |

Lion ones for me IMHO. Relatively light and very small. If I buy another one it's where my money would go.
