I bought a Stark Power Li-ion pack, which is very small, about 7 inches by 4 by 1 1/2.
So small can now be carried under seat for emergency start.
It is 12 volts only, but works a treat on our standard 6v Model A.
BUT, I made the mistake of cranking for too long and it melted one of the leads, not the fault of the manufacturer, it has specific instructions on limit of cranking.
Car had ignition fault, as previously it started instantly with the mini power pack.
Not a cure for bad electrics/mechanicals, but a very worthwhile addition to tool box if away from home etc

Now called Jump Box?
