I just legitimately heard a loud bang. One. Quite the boom, bass-y, set a bunch of birds off. I hope it was the local dipshits house.

I have a tip on fire near me.

Would a 1000A jump starter be enough to start most cars?

The question is less about jumping my own car (it's a 2L ICE), but more about, if a friend comes up to me or I see a random struggling with a dead battery, what are the chances 1000A is enough?

(don't want to spend too much money lol)

I don't own a jump starter, how often are you jumping your car?

Diesel needs more jump than petrol.

Gooloo brand was recommended by Project Farm on youtube.

The car manual should indicate power required to start the batter, possibly listed as battery size or cold cranking amps (CCA).

Long time no see Dumblederp.

how often are you jumping your car?

Never had to, thankfully.

But have jumped my wife's friend once, and came across two scenarios requiring a jump this past month. I just helplessly watched a guy wait an hour for RACV to turn up lol.

Will go check it out, thanks:)

Hey dude, I've long given up on Overwatch.

If you do get a jump pack, some have usb ports and will work as a big usb battery which is a nice extra feature.

I haven't played any games at all in the past few months lol.

Sounds great.. I'll look for that too, thanks

I'm in need of a good winter jacket puffer thing for office. Is it worth dropping ~450 on standard Melbourne uniform i.e. North Face Nuptse? ๐Ÿ’€

With that kind of money I'd look at Patagonia as well. There's a cheap Aldi and Macpac ones listed on ozbargain right now. My complaint about mine (macpac) is that it's kind of short, I'd prefer a warm jacket that at least covers my bum / overlaps with my pants.

I've seen a few of these things around, they're a bit overkill for our mild winter in Perth. I had no idea they were so expensive, though! My youngest wants one - because fashion. I was looking at the Anaconda range, They were in the $60-$100 ballpark (for kids jackets - not sure if adults are the same).

I haven't tried them, but Huffer are having a 50% off sale on their puffer jackets right now and I'm eyeing it off. I've heard a few people rave. They're around $500 full price, so a sale is worthwhile.
