A very Smart Starter

This remarkable gadget consigns bulky old jumper leads to the skip bin. The SJS Smart Start Charger packs enough punch to start even diesel engines, and is small enough to be easily carried on your bike should you be headed for forbidding territory (and the handy carry pack is included). Kenma has three models available; the SSC01 at $109, the 12.8 Amp SSC05 at $139, and the 16.5 Amp $199 – the big one will even start trucks. Inside you will find the latest Lithium Polymer technology, real space age stuff, and each unit comes with all sorts of connectors and leads that mean you can charge phones and other gadgets – there’s even a built-in LED torch. In our testing the actual power pack seems to hold its charge for an incredibly long time. A very worthwhile accessory is the SJS Tyre Pump (RRP $39.95) which plugs into the Smart Start Charger and will push up to 80psi into a motorcycle tyre.
