I have one of these and they are amazing it’s about the same size as my phone iPhone 7 Plus but thicker, very lightweight it starts my car no problem, even if the battery is that flat that there is no sign at all of life! And only £29.99 my friend has been using a similar make for over 12month in a garage and found these cheaper ones that are the same. If it helps you once it could pay for itself.

When I picked up the "project", the previous owner was an electric RC enthusiast and had a number of those batteries.
We had an idea to power the drivers window up using one, for the journey home on the truck. (Really should start a project thread on this one...)
Didn't end up doing it, but they certainly look promising as a jump start pack. You still have to manufacture a method of plugging it into the battery.
320A is plenty. Most jump packs that claim 300-400A rarely get above 200 anyway and I've started the S8, two different 4.0 L6 Falcons, and a 4.5 L6 Nissan Patrol on them.

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
