In case it’s useful to anyone else, I bought a Suaoki T3.
It arrived charged and worked perfectly, starting my Honda Civic from a dead flat battery first time (and I mean dead flat – no display on the clock even). Small enough to carry round easily as insurance, though after a couple of longish trips the car battery’s holding charge so far.
I took poly’s note to heart and paid a little extra for 600A peak output rather than 300A. Maybe 300A would have started the Civic too, but I’m happy.
It bears an uncanny resemblance to this, this and this, so I’m sure there’s nothing special about the words “Suaoki T3”.
Thanks as always for advice. Next, solar trickle charger…
