Default Cobra jumpack

Has anyone here purchased the Cobra Jumpack and if so do you have one for your car and have you used it. Just wondering as it would look like a good emergency starter with small cables and something easy to store.

Few if any jumpacks will be able to maintain enough voltage for the electronics in an XK/XKR during start with a dead battery to run this car without crashing the computers....and this is one of the smallest I have seen. Forget it...it won't work.

It perhaps can start a 1.8L 4 banger with few electrical options....on a good day.

BluePoint (Snap-On) jump pack

I know for absolute certain that one of these will work without causing any issues. Though the amp rating between this and the cobra one are very different. I would think the cobra one would be good for most vehicles that don't have insanely temperamental electronics systems like modern Jags.

Yes I have seen these as a friend of mine has a couple at his shop. They seem to work great but the thing I was interested in with the Cobra was it's size. Thanks
