Passenger Car Starting Device: 5in1 Worth Buying for Skoda Fabia I 1.2 & Peugeot 206 1.6HDI?

Question

Hello
Due to the fact that winter begins and sometimes the battery refuses to obey. I would like to buy a boot device (such as 5in1). Is it worth buying such a device? I have a working battery, but the car may not start in the cold sometimes.
I have a Skoda Fabia I 1.2 and a Peugeot 206 1.6HDI.

ps. Is such a device also suitable for these newer cars?

An efficient battery spins even in the cold and does not require any dentures. Either you are operational or it seems. Of course, it's worth having such a device, but you have to remember that the permissible voltage in the installation may be exceeded and new cars do not like it. It is much safer to attach a second battery (of course in an emergency) and possibly recharge it with relatively low currents with end voltage control. Starting aids usually give much higher charging currents than allowed by the battery manufacturer. This shortens their service life.

It is completely different, you can buy it, there is a battery inside, in a working car it is enough to start. Unfortunately, these batteries are not durable and after a year of operation the device has a battery to replace. But that's not a problem, you can buy the next battery for the price of the device, it will be much better and will last for several years. The principle is one, do not discharge to zero, do not keep uncharged and USE more than once every six months.

I understand with this battery that if someone in my family drives my car, he forgets to turn off the lights and the battery will be discharged (it happened once) and I mean only such emergency situations. The cost is about PLN 200 worth? i want to use it only for emergency situations.

Do not live on the battery. That's all for the short term. You will recharge the battery at home, go to the store and you will not start again and you will cry ... When something starts to fail, it will eventually fall, today you will not forcefully extend the battery life.
The starting device is cool, fast, efficient, it roars and the car burns until some driver is released and there is no rule here ...

If you spend 15 - 30 minutes to start such a car, and not immediately after connecting the starting device, you will start firing, the chances of any damage are significantly reduced. A hammer can be useful or harmful too, depending on whether you know how to use it. The device for PLN 200 is a quick charger rather than a starting device. It allows the battery to be charged quickly and supports during starting. View for maximum inrush current. Probably something like 100 or 200A. Such electricity in winter is enough to start a scooter, not a car.

Jump Starter or, for example, Black Decker 30A rectifier

If you also add that you are in a wilderness and do not have a phone with you, then it can be called an emergency. Otherwise, it may be cheaper to take a taxi for a new battery. You should not start the engine with a deeply discharged battery, it should be charged outside the car.

But such a divajs is useful, for example, in a tent. He can charge a cell and has a flashlight

Buy a buzzer for PLN 20. With a little fancy, you can connect so that it makes a sound as the position lights are on and the door is open. An efficient battery and alternator will be able to start the car even in frost and after a few days of downtime.
