Charge in Your Pocket
The Startmonkey400 is a light and compact “jump-start” system for car, 4×4 and van batteries. The Startmonkey400 can restart a standard 12 volt battery between 15 and 30 times on a full charge, thanks to its High Energy Lithium Polymer Battery. It easily attaches to your vehicle’s battery via crocodile clips and in 6 to 8 seconds is ready to give you a jump-start when you need it most. It comes with a voltmeter display that indicates the condition of your car’s battery, and its compact design means it can be left in your glove compartment or boot until it is needed.

Flexible Refreshment
The innovative Vapur Anti-Bottle is designed to be able to “fold-and-go” anywhere and easily fits into pockets, purses and packs. The Vapur is BPA-free and its inner layer is resistant to odours, tastes and stains, which means that it can be reused indefinitely. The highly durable Anti-Bottle also uses less energy to make and transport than traditional rigid bottles. Vapur is available from Totalsports and Due South stores.
