Lexus UX hybrid

[DP]

Daughter’s Lexus UX 12 volt batter is lacking enough juice to start the car. She was touring for 4 weeks, I was supposed to take the car for a run but other distractions made that difficult

I need to get jump start pack or similar to start the car tomorrow
Any suggests chaps what would be a good buy

We also have another Lexus (NX) so forward thinking regards non start after several weeks of non use

Thanks all who read the post and offered advice.

Set of jump leads?

Do you want a professional type for regular use or a diy type for occasional and emergency use?

Big difference in prices.

For diy, this type of item https://www.toolstation.com/ring-high-powered-compact-lithium-jump-starter/p45398 , or as suggested before, jump leads.

Other makes and powers and prices are available

A good set of jump leads will last you forever. I don’t know how long those small jump packs last though.

Jump leads obviously cheap alternative.
Power pack for the hybrid is not to crank the engine, just power up the electrics and vpcan be used with another car to jump start.
Saw AA man start her last hybrid that sat in the garage for many months during Covid.

Thanks for the suggestiond. Will look at both alternatives tomorrow when the car needs to be running again

Thanks chaps.
purchased one of these chargeable packs.
started the car today and took it for a spin.

Plus is that pack is quite small and power pack to charge phone etc
