Breaking down in your car is just so undignified - all that impotent waiting for the AA van to show up, sitting there with your hazards flashing, puny arm muscles straining as you try to push the damn auto(not so)mobile out of the road. This is surely not the life you dreamed of for yourself? It's hard to look cool when your exhaust pipe is lying 200 metres away, being slowly flattened by oncoming traffic. And you're unlikely to elicit the respect of strangers when you're busy trying to push your 2CV down the A5. This Charge-n-Start
makes the whole process of jump starting the car so much more civilised. All you do is plug it into your car lighter socket, plug the other end into a less crappy car's lighter socket, and tuck into a light salad while your battery gets a boost.

Do these idiots know that in most cars there is a little thingy called FUSE between the lighter and the rest of the electric wiring of the car?
Do they know that batteries can be charged at 18 Amperes, while the cigarette ligher fuses usually burn at 2 Amperes?
Go ahead. Spend 25 pounds for this gadget, then realize that it's useless at the first use.
