I went on ebay 33.98 delivered , it’s been used no issues starting the car , i can’t put the link in here for some reason , it’s black and green and has part number of em2976-da , yes it’s ebay but seems to work fine , i had to buy a eu two pin plug adaptor , but it can be charged off cigarette lighter , plus it has usb plugs for phones |

be careful with any of the eBay ones as the one I brought ended up catching fire and nearly burned my car and garage with it ,,, jumped the car as normal and battery is behind the seat on this one and as it started I heard a pop so jumped out to grab it and see what was going on and it was already on fire , managed to get it out the car and onto my dolly and then sort of kicked it out the garage before I went up in the air like a firework ,, here is the damage to my dolly and what was left of the jump pack outside

I have had a boltpower d28 now for around 5 or so years and still works perfectly, my brother has had his slightly longer and a work friend has got 2 for each of his cars. we have all used them successfully to start our cars. it gets very good reviews, see what you think.

I know mines ebay , not caught fire yet , used it once on a dead battery no issues at all , i went for a larger capacity one and it fired up straight away |
any battery pack , even ones for a torch hold a risk around them , a friend had an expensive re chargeable torch go up in smoke |

Bought one......charged it up overnight........went to start car and it doesn't even try to turn it over.
Waste of money and time. I shall be returning it I think I used mine the day after I got it to start a high compression competition engine ( Cosworth) and it turned it over no bother. Used it multiple times since. Sounds like you have an issue with the charger. |
