I had a cheap one of these some time ago and was initially quite impressed. I started my V8 soarer from dead, my V6 Sedona from dead and neighbors transit diesel all in one charge. Used it a couple of times and then ot just stopped. It would charge completely but when used for anything other than a power bank it did nothing, so it went back still under warranty. After some consideration I decided it was time for another one, but this time I wouldn't go cheap. Bit of research and some chat with some other people and I settled on this https://www.halfords.com/motoring/battery-maintenance/jump-starters/gb70-2000a-noco-jump-starter-721906.html But when I bought it last month it was £170, quite a bit more than my last one but I have to say a whole different class. Gave it it's first charge which tool some time via USB and then off to the soarer. The soarer hadn't been started for about 4 months and was completely dead..... Hooked it up and first go, straight into life https://youtube.com/shorts/n8NeBLsvH08 So it passed..... But what about as a power bank? So off to the house boat and a sunken boat (long story) and after 2 hours of continuous running a pump and the boat was empty and the porta power? Only one light had dropped, so plenty of juice left All in all am very impressed with ot so far. I have emailed the manufacturer in America and they said to deplete it completely at times and recharge to full, so I will use it some more and do as they say.

Thanks for that, very helpful. Thinking about it, all the other electrics work, it's just dead when I crank it so probably is the one going to the engine hence it cranks when I connect negative directly to the engine. Next time I will try connecting negative to a clean good body contact see what I get. Also, I'm probably in the wrong place, so if anyone wants to move the thread to the right place feel free to do so, I'm just finding my way around

Cheers for the input mate (no envy at all even though I've always wanted an RX.... Any RX)

Thanks, that's what I was thinking ..... It's good to get confirmation that it's what someone else would do. It's the V8 so same as LS400, where would you go with earth if you don't mind me asking?

Hi, I have an earth problem on the soarer (no, I don't mean mud on her 😀) when I try to start her there is nothing, dead, but when I jump start by going to the battery positive and earth anywhere on the engine she starts first time every time and when the battery is good, if it is dead I just jump negative battery to engine anywhere and it works. Am I better off tracing the old earth and cleaning it, or just fit a new earth strap?

Sorry for the lack of replies, been a bit tied up so just trying to find my way around the forum. Thanks for the welcome

Hi everyone, I'm new in here but recognized a few names. Always been a fan of Lexus and had the privilege to sell them back in the days when the LS400 was a new kid on the block. I currently have a V8 soarer, some say the V8 are more lexus than the others, but I guess that's just an opinion (one I share) so, just though I would say hello

It's the second time I have owned it and everything is coming stock, even down to the boot CD player still working and the cassette deck

I have a V8 that is currently soon
