I have 3 Matco ones and they all work great. Can start a JD 4035 no problem as well as Ford 6.7

Mine won't even start my 2006 5.9 cummins,.. must be something wrong with it because you always have to hit the override and even then it sometimes won't work.

I am looking into also charging my Garmin Rino 650 but not having much luck finding an adapter for the 2 pin power connecter on the Rino to the battery Pack.

 

[Grinder]

I am using this one

Have had a couple “400” peak amp boosters, they are garbage will start a small car that’s it.

I had one of the original power packs called the Lil Lightning but it died on me last year(had it for about 5 years). I'm seriously considering one of these.

Recieved a email from Garmin Product Support. They said that there was a possibility that that the newer Garmin Rino models would take a charge from a battery pack but would not cover a warranty claim because of its use. I suppose it is mostly geared to phone and laptop recharging or have any of you guys found that doesn't work either?
