Anyone carrying a lithium battery jumper starter?

I must be the only Luddite here that carries mini jumper cables.

Nope, 6ft long mini's.

The amount of cylinders makes no difference, one or eight.

Well that's odd, my jumper says it's rated for 4 & 6 cylinder motors.. seems to the jumper mfgr. cylinder motors do make a difference.

It is a reference value. It is a value so that the “common” consumer has an idea “more or less”, if what he is about to buy…is going to work for him.
It is to be assumed that a common consumer will be driving a 4 or 6 cylinder car with between 1500 cm3 and 4000cm3...
An "industrial type" consumer, who is driving a 6 cylinder truck/machine... with 12000 or 14000cm3, that aforementioned bracket barely turned on the dash lights.
The size of the starter motor is proportional to the size of the motor that it has to start….the same happens with the starter clamps…the “copper inside” diameter should be in relation to the power of the starter motor.
A lithium jumper starter battery fulfills exactly the same function as a “capacitor” in an electric motor….it is the initial “kick”….But…everything is related to everything, so if the initial kick “permanently” is much greater than what the bushings/bearings of the electric motor were designed for…..there will be premature wear…(in electric motors, the greatest wear occurs during start-up)

My jump box is like Patrick's in that it is rated for engine size in liters. I can't remember if mine was rated for 6L or 7L diesel. Since I don't have anything near that size, I'm good.

I have this unit. Ive never used it to jump a battery, but I do use it to charge all my equipment on camping trips. I can charge my phone, headset, flashlights, and anything else. On camping trips we often find ourselves with no shore power for days on end, that takes care of that !

Quite similar to mine.
