Thanks for that. The reason I asked was cos had just tried it with a fully charged (but 12v 75 ah leisure type) battery and it did not seem to help. I don't have room to get another vehicle alongside.

I borrowed my lads when the battery died on the wife's quad bike, same problem; couldn't get get a vehicle next to it to jump start it. The battery was goosed, and I had to get a new one, but the booster is a very smart bit of kit. It's on my shopping list after a code reader

You should NEVER use jump leads on modern cars as the ECU's don't like the surge of power they get when the other car gets revved up.
Always use a jump pack or charge the battery ! 2017 SVR. SVO Scafell grey Ebony interior

Not sure about Never, provided you connect/disconnect the jump leads in the correct sequence and allow the slave vehicle to idle for a few minutes without revving it up, before attempting to start the dead vehicle there should not be a issue, L/R do give the instructions how to do it for their vehicles in the owners manual currently up to 2021 cars.

Cheers
