After watching the first video, I removed the Bolt battery pack from my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It had never been needed or used and I had placed it in a relatively cool spot, under the driver's seat as he recommended but now it's out of my vehicle. I'll take my chances on keeping it.
Now I'll buy some high quality cables.

The noco units are safe and don't have safety issues. They also use high quality battery packs, I've used and attempted to use mine several times and it's still good. Mine is the original model, I'd still very much like to have the more powerful ones.

Yes he has a chart on his site showing the GB40 at 225 max actual cranking amps and the anker power core 600 at about 350 amps. The anker is the better buy except it won't work if it doesn't read a base line voltage on the weak battery, the genius boost has a manual over ride.

All 3 of the Chinese units nearly exploded, some with smoke.
I'd really like to get a GB70 or GB150
Those Chinese things are scary. Of course any HF apologist might tell me otherwise.
I'd have to think about the validity of those tests though, in terms of load impedance vs source impedance and what it means in terms of making power.

As a youth,I was once watching a mechanic swing his wrench on a battery terminal. Unfortunately it touched both battery posts and caused an instant explosion that blew the battery top off and spill acid everywhere. Luckily I had chosen to watch safely from a few meters away.

I'm wrenching on a car battery everyday.
Sometimes I make a mistake, when I use a new tool which was not insulated and caused a huge spark.
Luckily for me, nothing blows up as yet.
All the tools that I used, I find ways and means to insulate them electrically.

Lucky you. Who cares about injuries to the mechanic?
