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


They are incorrectly described as a 'starter'. If you tried to use it as
such the wires would melt.


Don't believe that one has 51 Amp-hours for a minute. But they do work,
you just have to follow the instructions. Some of us in uk.d-i-y
understand the adiabatic equation.


It probably is 51Ahr.
It will have a 3.7V 51Ahr battery in it probably at the 10hr rate.
That is not the same as a 51Ahr 12V car battery.
