12V 1200A Intelli-Start Emergency Lithium Jump Starter and Power Bank by Projecta
If you’ve ever lifted the bonnet on a cold morning or after a long day on the track and realised your battery’s not going to turn the engine over, you’ll know exactly why a good jump starter earns its place in the kit. The Projecta 12V 1200A Intelli-Start Emergency Lithium Jump Starter and Power Bank is designed for those moments. Small enough to live in your glovebox but powerful enough to crank engines up to 7.0L petrol and 4.5L diesel, it’s a reliable backup for everyday drivers and mid-sized 4WDs alike.
What makes this unit stand out is how quickly it gets you moving again. Projecta’s Rapid Recharge Technology means that once you’ve jumped the vehicle, you simply leave the clamps connected for 40 seconds and the jump starter recharges itself from your alternator. It’s ready for the next start almost immediately, which is a huge confidence booster when you’re travelling, camping or working out of remote spots where a flat battery could otherwise ruin the day.
It’s also more than just a jump starter. The built-in power bank comes with both USB-A and fast USB-C ports, giving you a quick and reliable way to charge phones, tablets, radios and torches when you’re off-grid. There’s even a bright integrated LED light to help you see what you’re doing under the bonnet or around camp after dark.
And, importantly, it’s built to be safe. The Intelli-Start system includes full protection against surges, reverse polarity, short circuits and overheating. If something isn’t connected properly, it lets you know before you make a mistake. The clamps are high quality, spark-free and designed not to damage your vehicle’s electronics.
Altogether, the IS1220 is a compact, tough and user-friendly bit of gear that takes the stress out of battery issues and gives you reliable backup power wherever you’re headed.
