I have seen similar and thought about getting one as an alternative to leaving a big bulky one in the back of a series, which one did you buy?

How big was the engine and how flat was the battery?

The one I bought was a Suaoki T6 about £37.00

The Engine is a Toyota 16oo twin cam The engine turned over but only slowly. The device got it cranking at about twice the speed
Normally I would have to plug into the mains for ten mins or so to get it started.
The jumper is not designed for prolonged cranking ,but as a booster. Apparently its good for diesels up to 3litres ..
