I'm going to invest in a lithium starter pack, has anyone on here got a view on good or bad ones, it's to start the kit so 2.0 zetec.

Speak to Russ Boost (I'm now sure I've got his name wrong) he sells them via the furore web site. Decent bloke, I'm sure he'll make sure you get a decent one.

Well, you were close on the name, I've had worse spellings!

I am no longer the owner/operator of Furore Cars Ltd. or Furore Products, I only deal with the actual car building side of things, Furore Formula Cars. Both parts businesses are now owned & run by my daughter, Jacqui, & her partner Oliver Buckle. You can call or message Oliver on 07905 879407 or email either info@furoreproducts.co.uk or furoreproducts@hotmail.com

They will offer same discounts as I always did for LCB, providing dealing direct rather than thro' Ebay or website.

Re the battery, I would recommend go for the largest one, the Lipo 20A, not because you need that much starting current for a zetec, but simply that it gives you more storage capacity, so if you have stuff like fan running once the engine is off you still have some reserve capacity

Ah, I don't think I explained myself very well, what I'm looking for is a jump starter for when the main battery is flat.

If all you're looking for is a jump starter then I would be inclined to go for standard lead acid unless you really want the small space & weight of the Li ones. I think any of the Li at anything like lead acid prices are very limited in their capacity & CCA capabilities, they might start a car if left to put some oomph back in the standard battery first, but any of the beefier lead acid ones will start almost anything even if the battery is pretty flat
