Review: Aukey PB-C13 18000mAh jump starter pack (productReview)
We found it started a 1.4-litre petrol car even when the battery was completely dead. The model tested is rated to start a 6.5-litre petrol or 3.0-litre diesel. If you’re not sure, peak cranking power for the jump pack is 600A, so check the rating on your battery to be sure it’s up to the job.
ELECTRIC CARS: Is an EV right for me? (FAQs)
AVT is in the process of developing its own AVT 100E electric car, but quotes prices from £16,995 to £19,995, plus batteries which cost from £1,481 to £2,070, including VAT. AVT claims top speeds from 56mph for its £16,995 plus battery PM2 model, to 'over 120mph' for its £17,996 plus battery S192 model.
Review: Rewire Security Spytrack Nano tracker (productReview)
A login and password are required to access both the Spytrack app and desktop services. According to Rewire, the Nano has "up to two weeks of battery standby". Although, that presumably means when the device is inactive – as in, not moving. To give you an example of real use battery life, we took our tracker on a 600-odd mile road trip over three days, starting with the battery at 75 per cent.
Review: Ring Video Doorbell 2 (productReview)
We didn't quite feel confident about wiring up the Ring doorbell, so we opted for the rechargeable battery route. It's a simple case of charging the battery pack with the supplied cable, then slotting it into the doorbell. The battery allegedly lasts six months, but we don't quite believe that.
Review: Ring High Power Micro Jump Starter (productReview)
It's small enough to throw in your glove box and forget about but will provide all the power you need if you're unfortunate enough to get a flat battery - even after several months. At around £90 it may seem expensive but if you've ever had the misfortune of having a flat battery, you'll know it's a very sound investment. It will save you a lot of time and hassle waiting for a breakdown mechanic to arrive.
Review: Tile Pro (productReview)
Before Tile launched the Pro, Tile trackers lasted for one year before needing to be thrown away and replaced with a new device — which was discounted as part of the re-Tile scheme. The Pro now comes with a battery that should keep it powered for about 12 months. The Tile Mate , which is cheaper than the Pro and has a 45m range, also now has a sliding battery door compartment so the devices no longer need to be binned after they run out of charge.

Review: Dyson V11 Absolute vacuum cleaner (productReview)
The V11 is a fantastic update when it comes to suction power, better user experience and smart features. It's heavier than the V10 and doesn't offer a whole lot more in terms of battery life, especially as the bigger battery increases charge time, but these are outweighed by how useful the LCD screen is. It's a genuinely helpful addition to Dyson's V11, with live battery updates that allow you to drop to Eco mode when the power runs low.
Review: Peugeot eF01 folding e-bike (productReview)
There are some issues when the battery runs out, with the single-gear eF01 slowing to a crawl under pedal-power. We got caught out on a couple of occasions during our tests, and it took considerable effort to cover the mile or two we had left of our journey without any battery power remaining.
Review: Vespa Elettrica (productReview)
Head on to any faster stretches and its’ soon out of its depth in exactly the same way as a 50cc machine. To help get the most out of the battery’s range, the Elettrica uses regenerative braking to top up the battery’s charge as you slow down. This means you don’t need to use the brakes as much as on a traditional petrol-powered scooter as you effectively have strong engine braking.

Top 10: Car vacuums (Article)
Its 22V battery grants a 20-minute runtime while its crevice tool, and conventional wide vacuum head, make it simple and quick to vacuum a car out. It also has an easy-empty bin that drops all the dirt out at the press of a button.

>> Read our full review Bosch BCS122GB Unlimited Cordless Vacuum Like most Bosch products you know you’re going to get something tough and well-designed, and the firm has used its knowledge of battery pack tech to create this BCS122GB cordless model. Unlike a certain well-known cordless offering, this Bosch model has exchangeable batteries, so you can keep going for longer, and it’s even compatible with Bosch’s Home & Garden cordless system so you can share batteries between tools.

EVERTOP rechargeable cordless handheld vacuum Substantially reduced from over £100, this EVERTOP model uses a rechargeable battery rather than a 12v input, but usefully charges via USB so you could even keep it in the car if you have the space. You get 20 minutes runtime from a full charge and a battery meter to keep you informed, while the EVERTOP can also handles spills as well as dry debris.
Review: Garmin Instinct 2 Dezl Edition (productReview)
One of the most impressive features of the Garmin Instinct 2 Dezl Edition is its battery life. It’ll officially last up to 28 days in standard smartwatch mode. This correlates to our experience, with our test model clearly showing a battery life of 28 days when fully charged – considerably longer than we’re used to from similar smartwatches.
Review: Sennheiser PXC 550 headphones (productReview)
width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/88db3a927c714d30a9094ff657538ab1" /> Downloading Sennheiser's free CapTune app let's you customise the audio using your smartphone - including adjusting NoiseGard, activating Call Enhancement and viewing the battery level. Although, a small LED display on the bottom of the ear cup also indicated battery level. The micro USB charging port also sits on the bottom of the right ear cup, with a micro USB charging lead supplied in the box.

We’ve bought several batteries back from the dead. Plus, the opportunities for leaving it connected make it ideal for car owners who garage their pride and joy over the winter, or those who don’t clock up quite enough miles to recharge the battery over the course of a weekend.
STORING A CAR: How should I prepare my car for long term storage? (FAQs)
A couple of other tips: If its an automatic make sure you can get access to the battery because if it's flat when you return you can't put it into neutral, push it back and get the engine cover up. I know this from experience. Also leave the handbrake off to stop the rear brakes corroding and locking on.
Review: Nonda Aiko Finder (productReview)
How the Aiko differs from the Tile is that it's rechargeable rather than being a sealed unit. Inside is a tiny lithium-ion battery that you charge with the micro-USB lead - and each charge will last you around four weeks. To make sure the Aiko doesn't go flat, the app on your phone will let you know when the battery is low. The makers of Tile suggest you replace a Mate after 12 months (they offer a discount on replacements as part of the ReTile scheme) but with the Aiko you have no such worries, although obviously the rechargeable battery won't last forever.
Review: Trackershop Enforcer 4 (productReview)
Out of the box it comes fully charged and enabled - all the buyer needs to do is log into the Trackershop webpage to enter their code and voila - the device’s current location is presented on screen. The device itself comes in a durable case, most of which is filled with batteries giving the Enforcer 4 a battery life of around six months. It can be recharged easily with a provided charger. The case has two extremely powerful magnets on its exterior, meaning it can be fitted to the underside of a vehicle or hidden away somewhere inside, such as in the spare wheel well.
