Does anyone know if these are Lithium ion or Lithium Polmer, and if there is any advantage of one over the other? I know from my RC Plane that the LiPo batteries can catch on fire!
A friend brought one of these around once when my Jetta Diesel battery went stone cold, and it didn’t give it even a hiccup. He said he had started a Gradeall and a couple pickups with it, and thought it must have been DOA when he tried mine, so I was not given the chance to be amazed. I am really interested in these, but I would be even more if I had seen one bring my car up from the dead.

They are getting quite popular and prices vary. A quick Google search found these articles (reviews): http://www.carbatterychargerscentral.com/car-starter-top-7-compact-battery-jump-starters/ and http://www.autodeets.com/top-10-what-is-the-best-lithium-jump-starter-on-the-market/ mPower is listed there, but it is not #1. I found PowerAll quite available around here. I guess it all depends on the local market. Your prices (and mileage) will vary. Btw. before these little portable batteries showed up on the market, I used an older portable car jump starter (with am AGM 12 Ah battery) as the only source of power on my previous boat (C&C 24). The outboard did not have the electric starter, so its charging circuits were not even close to what one would need (If I remember correctly it showed as 6 V!). The jump starter had a car accessory socket, which I used for connecting it to the boat (the boat acted like a one big accessory). I used it only for the VHF radio and the navigation lights, so there was not much current draw. Every so often I would take it home to recharge. It did work.

Not 100% confident that it would start the diesel 3GMF, I charged up the unit at home - used it twice to start my Honda Accord, and then without recharging it, used it in May to start the boat with no other batteries connected - worked just great on the diesel that had not been run since laying up in the winter.
