The MSC Overland Plus Universal power bank, Laptop charger and 12v car battery jump starter is most suitable for anyone doing solo Overland travel or has a boat. These have been used as power banks for Expeditions across the Antarctic & Everest Base etc. This high capacity, very high-performance premium power bank will charge all 5v USB mobile devices (phones, tablets, Garmin, Go Pro, etc) most laptops and other portable devices at 12v or 19v.
It also has the capability to start a diesel or petrol or boat engine up to 20+ times from full charge. It is very robust and compact and will hold a charge for months. Ideal equipment for overland travel or for people who go 'off-grid' in rural locations. It charges from either a vehicle Ciggie socket, mains or our Solar Folding Panel Chargers.
Ordered this at about 3:30PM yesterday and clicked on next day delivery even though It was past the posted cut off time for NBD Delivery . Well sure enough it arrived before lunch today, was fully charged when I received so was immediately able to jump start my 4.0 V8 vintage car . I am impressed and thank you for a great service .....

I bought the MSC Overland + IP65 after seeing a very good review of it on auto express and I am very happy with it. I am also really impressed with the customer service provided by the company I asked some questions and they came back to me almost straight away with detailed answers and pictures. I placed my order in the afternoon and it arrived the next day. Very impressed and would definitely recommend them.

I spent some time looking at standby chargers before purchasing the MSC Overland+ Jumper starter/power bank and I must say I am very impressed with the design and build quality of the . There has been a considerable amount of effort gone in to the design of the product and everything works beautifully, a bit like Apple products, not the cheapest out there but works well and is pleasing to use/own.
There are some really nice touches/features to this jump starter, not found on other products, like the heavy rubber seals over every socket and not mentioned above is the Red/Green LEDs in the boost charger leads which tells you status of the battery and the readiness to start your car, really well thought out.
You get the usual 5V USB output but the 12V accessory output is a real bonus as is the 19V for charging laptops. I often need 12V to power things not in reach of the car's cig socket and this fits perfectly.
At 18AHr it would even power a laptop for quite some time, if you were camping or away from a power source.
Even the humble light on the front has some nice touches, not only does it give a good beam, but flashes as a bright strobe and also sends SOS in morse code ( ... --- ... ), hopefully I will never have to use this feature.
All of the leads/plugs are good quality and it is nicely packaged in a strong zipper case.
5 * all round for build quality, features, and price/performance ratio.

I have to say I am old school, I didn’t realise such devices existed. On discovering such technology I very nearly went out and purchased the first booster I saw, a product that claimed thousands of amps capacity with multiple start capability etc. Alarm bells started to ring as I couldn’t understand these figures. I researched further and soon discovered many of these claims are misleading at best, many of the products couldn’t turn an engine over once, never mind starting it.
I eventually purchased the MSC Overland + after much research and discussions with the company, who were very knowledgeable and helpful. This booster pack actually does what it should do, it’s simple to use and has loads of power, I genuinely can’t speak highly enough about this product. I will certainly be purchasing a second unit.
Excellent service and fast delivery, everything is ++++

Great quality, very quick delivery. Free usb led light a bonus, could be very useful as we have occasional mains power outages.

Had my Overland + now 10 months and used it 9 times. The company I work for pay £ 200 for an emergency start from a breakdown company so I have saved them £1800. Says it all, I cannot praise MSC Overland enough, great product, plus I have helped workmates out too and saved them sitting waiting for breakdown services. All in all a quality product that keeps me moving on the road.

Spoke to Tim, told him what I needed, a power bank for blowing up a dinghy and a paddleboard. Also want it as a stand-by jump starter for my 3+ litre car.
Tim advised the MSC Overland + IP65, which arrived today.
E-mail yesterday telling me it had been sent, e-mail today advising a time slot for delivery. Excellent.
Once I got my hands on the MSC Overland + IP65 and having ripped the wrapping off, it was out to the garden with the electric pump. Literally 5 minutes later all 3 chambers in the 2.65 mtr. dinghy were inflated to the recommended 3psi. Fantastic.
Now on to the paddleboard.
Aqua Marina Beast. 8 minutes, 15 psi! Joy!
Hopefully no-more pumping a hot SUP hand pump and gasping for over 10 minutes!
The power bank? It's still showing 3 lights from its original delivery charge.
Obviously early days but the MSC Overland + IP65 is doing exactly what I want it to do.
As for the advice and service from MSC. Exemplary.
Would definitely use again.

I have had to use the jump start a few times lately and it has been faultless. So reassuring to have in the boot.
Excellent service from a friendly company who went that extra mile.

I have dealt with MSC for a few years now, the level of service is still exemplary, with total focus on the customer. I have every confidence promoting their products to my customers and in the case of this power bank (New to me) it started a totally dead 5.7 V8 first time. The same as the previous unit I had from them which I broke!
It's the same story with their solar panels and other power banks. I have a number of them for personal use and also for demonstration to my customers. Never fails to impress and exceed expectations.
I am not being paid to review, just an honest assessment of a good old fashioned quality provider of both product and service from an old bugger (Pension is just around the corner) that can still remember what good quality service and product really means. Refreshing in this day and age of online purchase, this is a supplier to trust, hence I've put my name to this review.

Top quality bit of kit .3.5l diesel van been sitting for 3 months with zero battery power, Overland + jumper power bank started it first try straight out of the packaging from delivery. Can't say any more than that, good quality product, first-class service during the Covid situation. Will definitely use MSC in future 10/10

I bought this to jump start a Subaru Forester. It came 3/4 charged (which as it turned out would have easily been enough charge) but as I had to drive 40 miles to the vehicle I topped it up to full charge before setting off. The car battery was totally dead, even the ignition lights wouldn't come on. I clipped the unit to the battery and the car started straight away. I checked the unit's charge and all 4 LED's were still lit. About 10 mins later the car stopped and still didn't have enough charge to restart (although this time lights etc worked and I could hear the starter solenoid clicking). Clipped the unit back on and again it started the car and again was still showing 4 LED's. Very impressive.
It comes in a nice case and with a lot of accessories, some of which I will be using very soon.
A final thumbs-up goes to Tim at mobile solar chargers who went out of his way to make sure I got the unit the next day even though I'd missed the 10am limit for next day delivery..

I bought the MSC Overland+ to jump start my diesel engined car after I discovered it had a flat battery. It performed the task perfectly.
Incredibly compact in design and able to recharge my laptop and phone, the original outlay will prove more than worth it in the long run.
Great customer care from purchase to delivery. Highly recommend.
