hi, I'm looking for a jumpstarter for a 5.3l petrol. The old Mechpro 1200amp used to start a 5.7l petrol, but new ones say a 1200 won't cut it. The AA was no help at all. Any advice on what size I need and is there a best time to buy one. (Also any insights on why the new 1200a won't start 5.3l when the old one started 5.7l with a totally flat battery). TIA.

Hi there,
I would highly recommend this stuff:

U can try to surf the Web, maybe it is still available somewhere on NZ's websites.
For instance:
"70mai jump starter max 18000mah buy online nz"I purchased one last year (by mighty ape for ≈190$) and I am still very pleased with its performance. 👍🏻 Very helpful for my Toyota Harrier G350 (3.5l, petrol)👍🏻
Cheers! 👋🏻
Probably slightly more expensive, but far more portable, you can get something like this: https://hulk4x4.com.au/products/electrical/lithium-ion-jump-…
I was very surprised at how well they perform, I had a tractor with a completely dead battery that wouldn't start from a jumpstart from a ute or a 2000amp jumper unit like that Mechpro, but it started easily from the "hulk". It still showed 80% charge after one jump too.
Repco are still listing the old mechpro 1800a units on clearance.
Looks like some stock around the country.

Otherwise the projecta units are pretty good.
