Automotive Jump Starters 22 Years On

Powervamp Ltd is regarded as the world leader in the design and manufacture of high quality power products for many professional markets, and has built a reputation for refusing to compromise on quality and of meeting customers criteria properly. It was however, the automotive market where the company first made a name for itself.

‘The concept of a powerful, rechargeable dry-cell battery…was new to the industry, but soon convinced customers once they witnessed the products in action.’

Powervamp started manufacture of its battery jump starters 22 years ago to start small engine petrol and diesel cars with flat batteries on garage forecourts, auction houses and dealerships. The concept of a powerful, rechargeable dry-cell battery in a bespoke molded carrying case, that could be used to multi-start 12v vehicles was new to the industry, but soon convinced customers once they witnessed the products in action.

The maintenance free, high discharge Enersys batteries were chosen due to their unbeatable characteristics. The batteries deliver up to three times more instant power than a conventional lead acid battery, yet are smaller, lighter and don’t suffer from memory effect. They can also hold their charge for over 12 months, ideal when power wasn’t immediately available to recharge.

The product range was developed with safety for the user and protection for the vehicle. The equipment also needed to be serviced easily, even by the owner, and spare parts are always available to purchase over the phone with next day delivery.

‘Powervamp has continued to develop its automotive products by working closely with the bus companies, auction houses, garage franchises, rail networks and car importers’

Even the original Powervamp jump starters had a battery status display PCB to monitor battery capacity whilst on charge, and in use, as well as a reverse polarity audible alarm.  Voltage spike protection was installed to eliminate any potential damage to the vehicles ECU whilst starting, giving the user complete peace of mind when purchasing or using a Powervamp product.

Powervamp has continued to develop its automotive products by working closely with the bus companies, auction houses, garage franchises, rail networks and car importers to understand the demanding environments that our products are being operated in.

Today Powervamp now supplies its complete range of automotive battery jump starters through its UK distributor, Alliance Electronics, but continues to develop new ideas (such as the recently launched 12v or 24v ‘Go-Cart’ for the multi-starting of large engines), remaining a leading, innovative manufacturer of the best know range of jump starters.

As the company grows, it continues to secure new contracts with many household name companies including RAC, AA, Royal Mail, Stagecoach Group, Manheim Car Auction, Draper Tools, and Jaguar Land Rover who all appreciate the quality and thought that has gone into the design of every Powervamp Engine starter.
