SIP Rescue Pac 3000 review
SIP Rescue Pac 3000 Jump Starter Battery Booster 12V/24V — AGM, Cars, Vans, Tractors, Excavators, Fleet & Trade Use
By Tom Calder
Key specs
The maker's figures.
- Peak current
- 3000A peak (12V) / 1500A peak (24V)
- Engine coverage
- Cars, vans, motorcycles, boats, trucks, tractors
- Capacity
- 2 x 22Ah AGM batteries (true dual 12V pack)
- Extras
- Reverse-polarity alarm
This is a proper trade-grade AGM jump-starter, not a pocket power bank — at around 17.6kg net (20.6kg boxed) it's built to crank vans, tractors and plant as well as cars. The headline 3000A is a peak figure; SIP's own quoted cranking rate is a more honest 1200A (12V) / 600A (24V) — solid for this class, though on 24V that's best treated as an HGV-start assist rather than a guaranteed solo crank.
- Best for
- Trade users, farms and fleet operators who need one AGM booster that covers cars through to vans, tractors and excavators on both 12V and 24V, with 24V HGV starts handled as an assist rather than a guaranteed solo crank.
- Skip it if
- You just want a light glovebox jump-starter for occasional car use

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.
What we like
- Dual 22Ah AGM batteries with a realistic, SIP-quoted cranking rate rather than just an inflated peak-amp number
- Genuine 12V and 24V coverage — vans, tractors and excavators, not just cars
- Reverse-polarity alarm and automatic circuit overload protection, in a rugged steel case
Worth knowing
- Heavy and bulky at 17.6kg net (20.6kg boxed) — not something to casually keep in a hatchback boot
- AGM cells need recharging roughly every 3 months when not in regular use, so it wants a bit more upkeep than a sealed lithium pack

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy this if you just want a light glovebox jump-starter for occasional car use — it's a heavy trade unit built for fleet/plant duty; a 2-3kg lithium pocket pack will be cheaper, easier to store and plenty for a single car.
This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the UK price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
If this isn’t the one
Best for A compact glovebox backup that gets a flat petrol car or small diesel going without waiting for a breakdown van.

Best for Drivers who need to cover a bigger diesel - a van, 4x4 or larger family car - as well as ordinary petrol cars, in a pack that still fits in a glovebox.

Best for Drivers who want one mid-size jump starter that covers most family cars and small diesels, rather than buying NOCO's biggest (and priciest) unit just in case.
