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.


On reflection, you could be right. Of course the figure is only
meaningful if you state explicitly the voltage at which these amps are
delivered.

My similar sized Floureon T3 only claims 18 amp-hours (no voltage stated).
