How long will such a unit last? Years ago I had a jump start pack and it lasted about three years and you couldn't get spare batteries. Well you could, but they cost more than a new unit. That potential problem aside, these new compact jump starters look a really good idea.
I've got similar one, older model with no USB-C. Works quite well for more than years now. Started the car(s) more than 30 times. It's really a good tool and mine has an "extra" booster mode - which actually started a brain-dead Spider TS on it's last way to the mechanic for parts. Without this "booster" mode there was some action but the car didn't start. The boost drained like 75% of unit's capacity but made the engine run. I believe Neil's unit also has this mode since I think they're all one design just branded differently. Get one, it's very useful emergency rescue device in countries with snow in the winter, where the temperature drips below 0. And if outside temperatere is -10 or -15 it's almost a must-have for older/classic cars.
you are typical ignorant than dont understand how to use jump starters, jump starters needs to detect some power in your battery in order to work, if your battery is totally drain to completly 0, then you need to enter into booster mode, and you need to read the manual in order to get into that mode, thats why ignorants like you keep saying they dont work, yes they work, you just havent got a clue
An excellent review, couldn't ask for anything more Neil.

@@rafamigayt if you jump started your car more than 30 times, you should consider buying a new battery for your car, thats not normal
Got to be worth carrying one of those in the boot!
Does anyone know if it's bad to leave a battery on trickle charge? And should a car battery be on a specific charging option other than 12v?
why the cut at 3:11 ?
Just a better cut.
Any ideas how to charge it
plug it in via usb
Disable the car and see how many goes you get before it's flat, be useful to us with old bangers that we are tinkering with.
Junk had one of these a few weeks sent it back
Time will tell. I'd imagine as with all batteries if not used the battery will fail.

Very Suspicious cut just before it worked…
Nope just how it was edited.
