What I'd guessed.

The majority will be bought as a 'just in case' and perhaps even as
presents. So they might well be able to replace the few that are actually
used more than a couple of times under warranty.

Like most things, if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is.

I'd say a pair of jump leads are better value as a 'just in case'.


But you're ignoring the fact that these are sold as power banks for
charging any number of whatnots. You might struggle to cover all their
functions with just a pair of jump leads.
