It looks like portable battery chargers can be really unstable.  I guess I will keep mine outside my house instead rather than inside my house or my car. 

 

便汽车启动器充电起火 传爆炸声2女住客夺门逃携

充电中的便携式汽车搭电启动器（portable vehicle jumpstarter）不知何故突然起火，还传出爆炸声响，两名女住客夺门而逃后，跑去楼上楼下挨家挨户通知邻居疏散，让大家及时逃命。

这起火患发生在昨天（7月19日）下午近3时，地点在盛港康埔桦弯第295C座组屋六楼的一个五房式单位。

Might as well don’t even have frankly.

Buy a reputable brand like Xiaomi, could be some cheapo brand.

Finally get to use the Anker jump starter that i bought it few years ago. 

The Mini battery went dead after almost 3.5yrs with 24/7 in car camera running and its time for the Anker to shine!!

Except that it failed to work despite being fully charged. Turtle.... 

 

Still need to pull out the good old jumper cable from my car to get the job done. 

 

You have been warned. Turtle again.

@Hamburger Mini battery should be replaced less than 3 years.

Can claims warranty

Apparently the AD did not mention it during the service, so just let it slide. 

It's quite lasting considering it's a EFB type.

The Anker too weak at 400A.

Buy a 1000A one.

😁

This is the most common assistance for Mini.

I claimed a new battery within 3 years.

My R56 is using AGM. It will not last beyond 3 years.

My previous AGM voltage dropped till 11v.

Agreed. It might start a non conti that required a lower CCA but not this one. 

Next buy must buy a bigger one. Size matters!!

Next buy a 2000A. Scare loose!! Roar...

I just recalled I installed a 3rd party car cam that runs 24/7. So the battery warranty is thus voided.

Frankly at the rated 400A, don't think it could start your SS, unless it's the newer Pro version at 800A.

I encountered a similar issue and posted my encounter in this forum.  These starter batteries are useless if the battery voltage drops too low or is nearly dead.  The only thing that can start the car up is using another live car.

What I intend to do is to standby a new car battery and a toolbox in my car after the lifespan of my current battery is about 1 year old.  It will only cost $80 but will save a ton of headaches if the battery suddenly died.

Might as well Battery Tester to check health of battery.

Change it before it dies.

alot of time its not the power of the jumper pack too low. its the wire too thin if the wire heat up too fast u not going to start

 and many time when the breakdown battery is too low voltage. u really need a good connection with the crocodile clip. must shift the position around for max  surface contact .
