I drive a VW Crafter with 2.5L five-cylinder turbo diesel engine, which - apart from the engine - the Mercedes Sprinter is identical. This Vehicle is the battery in stand fast by various consumers (light, heater) leergelutscht so that a jump start is provided. According to VW-breakdown service, the optional second battery use is not much. In the past I was often dependent on outside help when starting. The APA 16524 Power Pack had no trouble with starting the engine. Now I am much more relaxed on the road. The naturally neat weight of a power pack comes in the winter as an additional burden Hecktriebler benefit on the rear axle. The only (small) drawback: the cables are too short to leave the power pack on the ground during the startup process, it must be placed on a suitable solid surface in the engine compartment. But may also be that this occurs only in the right overhead hood of the Crafter's. Two years later: The PowerPack is gone. Reason: I had not recharged three months, according to package insert one should even invite monthly.
