Top Product Triumph for the Compact Jumpstarter RPP900

Ring’s RPP900 Compact Jump Starter has been crowned a ‘Top Product’ award winner in Professional Motor Mechanic (PMM) magazine’s 2015 reader poll.

The awards, presented based on the number of enquiries received from PMM’s 60,000+ readership, are a great indication of the manufacturers and suppliers that are making a real difference to independent garage technicians – whether through innovative parts or tools, fault-finding equipment or garage aids such as technical data, posters and literature. Products like the RPP900 give them the ability to maintain the high standards expected of modern day servicing and repairs.

PMM Editor, Richard Bowler said: “With the introduction of the RPP900 Compact Jump Starter, Ring has shown that good things come in small packages. Capable of jump starting cars and light commercial vehicles with a petrol engine size up to 2.0L, the light and compact hand-held unit provides a source of power for emergency starts or breakdown assistance, offering users a fantastic solution on those occasions where vehicles need jump-starting. This makes it a worthy winner of one of our 2015 Top Product awards.”

What makes the Compact Jump Starter RPP900 a winner with Professional Mechanic Motor magazine

Compact: the RPP900 harnesses Lithium Ion technology in a small but powerful product. Traditionally, powerpacks and jump starters have standard lead acid battery, which make them cumbersome and heavy.

Powerful: It might be small, but the RPP900 Compact Jump Starter doesn’t compromise on power. It can jump start cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) with petrol engines up to 2.0L. Tested in garages, car showrooms and vehicle leasing companies, the RPP900 can jump start multiple times before needing to be recharged. The quick four hour recharge time means the unit can be quickly recharged for use several time within a working day.

Safe: The RPP900’s safety features guarantee a high-powered product with peace of mind for users. It features reverse polarity, short circuit and anti-spike protection to prevent damage to the vehicle’s battery, electronics or the power pack itself. The Lithium Phosphate battery is the safest available – its 12V capacity matches that of cars and many LCVs, meaning it won’t overheat during jump starting.
