Startmonkey — Restart Car Batteries


startmonkeyFrom October 2010, Mobi Power Packs will be bringing to the scene the new Startmonkey which is the World’s smallest “jump start” system for car batteries and very easy to use.

In 2009, the RAC were called out a whopping 177,916 times to jumpstart cars! A flat battery was the number 1 reason they were called out for breakdown assistance during last year.

The startmonkey200 can restart a standard 12 volt car battery between 15 and 20 times on a full charge thanks to its High Energy Dynamic Polymer Battery and it’s packed with high-tech features to give you total peace of mind. The startmonkey200 has 2 output channels: 1) a 12volt, 120Amp car jump start and 2) a 12volt, 100 watt max, 8Amp DC output for charging your portable gadgets.

The startmonkey has an input socket so you can recharge it via the supplied in-car charger, this will take about 4 hours to charge a startmonkey with a 50% level of charge remaining. From empty, the startmonkey will be recharged via the in-car charger in 8 hours.

The startmonkey can also be recharged via the SolarGorilla, which is a portable solar charger for laptops and electronic devices. The StartMonkey can also be charged via the AC mains from the powergorilla and the forthcoming silverback-gorilla. The input socket can even take voltages between 15 – 24 volts to recharge the startmonkey.

The DC output socket on the startmonkey means you can also charge your portable gadgets! Simply connect the included in-car charger socket to the DC output port, pop the included motormonkey into that and using the correct cables, you can recharge your phone, iPod, PDA, handheld games consoles and more! You can even use the in-car charger socket with your 12volt in-car chargers to operate your laptop, GPS system, etc.

startmonkeyThe startmonkey has very low static wastage – meaning you can leave it unused for up to three years and it will still hold up to 75% of its power! It can also be recharged 500 times – so if your battery is still going flat after all that time – it may be time to get a new car!
