Battery jumper booster are quite expensive. Anyway, how often do you require to use them? Once in a year or so, or maybe not even?
Just get a good jumper cable, of course you will require another car to jump start with.... smile_tongue.gif

About to say the same thing.

Or keep the RM250 budget and get a new battery after 2 years or so. Peace of mind rather than buying a booster which cost almost the price of new battery and maybe use it every 2 years or so.

Agreed - petrol cars change new battery every 2 yrs, for diesel change every 1 yr should be very safe. No need to get stranded unexpectedly and beg others to jump start car. Not many good samaritian nowadays! and get yourself or themselves robbed!
