Hi jonr I bought a cheapie from Bunnings it was about $70, a Plugz emergency car jump starter powerbank to see if they were any good.

It jump started my old David Brown tractor when the tractor battery didn't have enough grunt. I immediately went and bought another one for the missus. I found when you use them the power is not instant you have to keep the key turned and after a few seconds it kicks in.

Cheers grumpy

Have the tollbridge 24 ready to install and will chuck the jump start in the boat in case. But I don't think there will be any drama's as my batteries are replaced every 2 years.
