Again mate in commercial garage has li-on starter
pack , size of a paperback , just shy of 200 quid, on
his second unit and third set of leads on warranty...

What I'd guessed.

That's a rather different situation use wise to the normal owner tho.

And it sounds like a not very well designed one with the leads failures.

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.

Jump starters in general are mostly useful in some situations tho.

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

But nothing like as convenient to use with the
need for another vehicle to use them with.

No one said they are perfect or universally better than anything else.
