What's Included
- ✓ Professional jump pack — no second car needed
- ✓ Battery voltage and health check
- ✓ Alternator charge check
- ✓ Advice on whether battery needs replacement
- ✓ Safe for all 12V vehicles including modern ECU cars
When Jump Start Isn't Enough
- → Battery is old and failing — needs replacing
- → Alternator fault — car won't hold charge
- → Electrical drain fault — needs diagnosis
- →If so, see our breakdown assistance service
Important: Electric vehicles and 12V hybrids should NOT be jump started using standard methods. Our drivers are trained to handle EV battery situations correctly and safely.
Common Causes of a Flat Battery
Understanding why your battery has gone flat helps you prevent it happening again. Our local flat battery recovery drivers can diagnose the most likely cause when they arrive. The most common reasons for a flat battery include:
Lights Left On
Interior lights, headlights, or boot lights left on overnight will drain even a healthy battery completely.
Old Battery
Car batteries typically last 3–5 years. An aged battery holds less charge and is more vulnerable to cold weather.
Faulty Alternator
The alternator recharges your battery while driving. If it's failing, the battery will deplete even when the engine is running.
Infrequent Use
Cars that sit unused for weeks, particularly in winter, will naturally lose battery charge through passive drain.
Cold Weather
Cold temperatures significantly reduce battery efficiency. A battery at 50% health in summer may fail completely at 0°C.
Parasitic Drain
Electrical faults or aftermarket accessories can drain your battery even with the ignition off. Requires diagnosis.
