Battery Booster

My trusty quite old battery-booster has finally given in! It was one of the first ones on the market, and has done me proud. Course it didn't help that it got dropped off a truck about six months ago, by an idiot that forgot it was there! Anyways, I'm going to have to get a new one, is there any recommendations? I don't want to spend an awful lot because I don't need to use it much, anyone got a cheap one that they can say was good for the money? It'll sit in the shed most of the time, it needs to have a power-outlet and a light.

What's wrong with the old one? It's quite easy to replace the lead acid batteries in them.

It's been well abused. 'Tis what happens when you lend them to folks. Casing is cracked, and it had an internal spill for a while, power take off doesn't work, light no longer works even with new bulb, and I've already taken it to the local scrappy for the lead!

I got one quite recently from Maplins - got a light, compressor, 12v sockets and 240v inverter.
About £60 I think.

Thanks for replies. I ordered one from Amazon, £30 has all the bits I need.
