I didn’t check the voltage of them, but I have started v8s that had batteries that wouldn’t even cause a click. My older large model wouldn’t but the little lithium ion newer ones would.
I like the idea of carrying two if you are worried about how much power you have. They do suck the power down of the jump box with each start.
I also carry long battery cables that can reach my house battery bank, but only carry a single higher rated lithium type jump box for the truck. The combination will likely start my truck. The cables are probably twice as big as one jump box. :D
I also carry a 12 gauge cable to jump start my generator that reaches the front truck battery. I started carrying that 15 years ago and have used it a few times. Cheap and easy to make. Very small, and I made it because my TC was at a storage lot with dead batteries. Of course, you can’t run electric jacks without power unless you want to manually move them with a drill or crank.
