Free: Ring car starter. Needs attention. (Fareham PO15) Gifted Ring Car Starter, emergency battery charger. Please read the following description as it is not usable in its present state. This device contains a 12V battery. If your car battery goes flat, you can then recharge it from this one. That's the theory, but it does require you to keep the charger charged, otherwise it won't be any use when needed. This one has probably never been used and is now completely run down. Whether it can be revived I don't know, but it might give a bit of fun to someone who likes tinkering.
