@MB what size is that diesel pump of yours?
STEER CLEAR OF THE UNIDEN UPP120. It came with all the bells and whistles, even a carry case and a small air compressor. My lead shorted out one of the variable outputs and blew the whole control circuit, and it won't even charge. I eventually got the case off and checked to see if there was a fuse, and found that there is NO CIRCUIT PROTECTION.
Also if you do some quick calculations using the basic size of the unit and attached conductors, you might get an unpleasant surprise regarding the claimed output. Hmmm, 600 amps through an EC5 connector? Methinks not...
Not exactly sure mate, the manual is in Russian and never really needed to fix anything yet. It is only a twin cylinder air cooled but very long stroke as you can tell by the height of the donk.
[QUOTE=Plasnart;724460]At the forum meetup last weekend at MB's place, MB had problems starting a his large diesel water pump to transfer water from one dam up to another. Jumper leads from his Navara to the pump hardly provided enough power to turn it over but then @rusty_nail brings out his tiny little Wuldmar 600A jump starter and it absolutely kicked it in the guts!! Very very impressive for such a small unit!!

I think the actual power source is a 30V battery, not a 12V unit, and believe the amperage rating is a factor related to the 30V - 12V conversion, so in reality the cables only have to transfer 250a at 30V, to achieve a so called 600a charge at 12V. The duty cycle of the cable comes into how efficient this would be, heat is part of that rating. In most cases you will get a battery top up to allow starting with far less than this, hence why the cables look tiny. I have just purchased the 800a unit and agree you wont get 800a down the cables, even after they are smoke tested!
Here is the unit's guts. As you can see it has a 12.23 volt battery rated at 12000mAH (12ampAH), which is impressive, but more realistic.
Don't get me wrong. These units are bloody fantastic, and could be a life saver, especially if your alternator packs up in the middle of
Whoop Whoop.
OK just received the Wuldmar 600A unit and hoping it's a quality unit. When Rusty used his at the recent forum meetup to start MB's russian water pump it certainly impressed.
The carry case and build quality of the unit itself seems good however the instruction pamphlet has been written by the KING OF CHINGLISH so that doesn't fill me with confidence in the product!
This is exactly what the instructions say:
Special Precautions of The Auto EPS
1. Please put the blue plug enough in the Auto EPS.
2. Make sure that the number of indicator lights are not less than 3.
3. If the Auto EPS can not start car, please stop to start car. Please check the clip of car's battery clamped firmly or not. And check the battery clip whether clamped firmly or not, And check there any. rust or dirt in the car? Start the car again after cleaned-up and checked.
4. During starting. If the blue indicator off or can't work. Please charger for the Auto EPS. Then it will work.
5. During starting. If the Auto EPS can't continue to start car after starting 3-5 times. Please stop to start car. Please check the other breakdowns.Otherwise it will make the fuse and Auto EPS broken.
6. When the car starts, remove Auto EPS cable from Auto EPS and disconnect red and black clamps to the car battery terminals within 30 seconds.
We do not take respensibility for loss caused by your operation against above usages. If you need the car to start technical support can call the dealer.
I won't bother listing the answers to common problems in use of the product as I haven't had enough time to work my way through the Chinglish!!!
So if you're reading this Mr Wuldmar, the instruction pamphlet does not make your unit appealing to a potential purchaser (and maybe this is why they're only sold online, not in stores). If I looked at this in the store I would not have bought it. But anyway it might just be a ripper thing so here's hoping!
That made perfect sense , not sure what your on about .
I purchased a Genius 2600 (26 amp) charger that works a treat. It also has a jump start function that will do 5 minutes at 30amps. If you wait 10 minutes, it will charge up again. This is the 240V version but they also have 'in vehicle' versions.
So far I've resurrected at least one battery and recharged the Patrol battery twice while faultfinding a fuel problem.
Tractors battery is dead again and parked nose in, grrrr, gonna have to find out why soon.
Raced out and bought one of these little fellas.

$199 on special today only at Repco, here's hoping it'll crank the 100hp Perkins over soon.
