Try leaving one for six months. Also, I bet most of these contain
bargain basement batteries.

Are you saying a Li-Ion one - which starts off with less capacity


Whilst it may start off with less Ah capacity, it may well have a
greater cold cranking current so more likely to start a car, assuming
it's willing to start easily.

- is
going to be fine after 6 months, like for like?


Yes.

I'd say most Li-Ion jump
start packs ain't got the finest either, by the price.


But I'm not sure they need to, given what sort of CCA even low spec
ones can output.

That's been my experience.

shows that the worst ones are much worse than the best ones.

Unfortunately the best one isnt currently buyable for some
reason and all the sellers want half the retail price to send
it here, the 2000A audew.
