Any preferred brands? Does that one look like a good one? Are they
worthwhile or just a 'toy' that doesn't work particularly well?

I have one of these:

and it has started a diesel 2.0l VW Touran with a dead battery (lights
on, no crank action left).

I was surprised... It seems to hold its charge well too.

My Floureons look virtually identical to this. My main thought on the
one you linked to was that it was at the bottom end of the price range,
but seemed to claim unreasonably high capacity. So personally, I would
go with something "branded", also Amazon's no quibble replacement of
anything faulty is better and easier than eBay's. Now I come to think
about it, one of mine suffered an obvious switch failure in the first
month (lost its positive "click"), but sorted easily by Amazon.

My 1.8 diesel Connect wouldnt start so borrowed my mates RoyPow charger and it started it no problem. So I bought one, nice and compact to store under seat.
