Portable battery pack/Jump starter

Does anyone carry a portable battery pack/Jump starter for their diesel engine? What would recommend?

I bought a no name unit for $30 at the Toronto Boat show. About the size of a fat I-phone. Two weeks later it started our truck which had been left in sub-) weather at Buffalo airport for those two weeks.

What a deal !

JNC-770 It’s one of the most popular in the truck shops.

We carry a Genius Boost GB70 https://no.co/gb70 which is ridiculously oversized for our engine, but I have other (top secret) plans for it...

$70 Victron battery combiners that charge house bank after starts are done have a switch so you can use your house bank to crank start if required.

I am sure there are cheaper brands again available.
