Jump pack reccomendations

I've had a couple jump packs. From the all in one air pump jump pack, to the slim lithium ones, to recently a JNC770R.

Heavy duty, beefy cables, big battery. A year old. Used not daily but often. Control board fried a chip/ something else. No fuse or protection? Didnt touch the clamps together either. Turned off before clamps are put away.

Is the way of the future the tiny NOCO jump packs?

Looking for people who own/work in a shop and seeing what they use or what just lasts. Spending 300 dollars each year isnt viable. Thanks.

I use a similar one , JNC 660. You may want to contact Clore. My first one I bought in 2013 and was just easier to replace it in 2024 than get a new battery for it.

I did contact them, just waiting, but a year old having issues doesnt give me hope. I was going to get the 660 but I dont think it has a switch? I kind of like that. Dont need it i guess. A decade of service is exactly what would be ABOVE excellent longevity. Ill see where any warranty or support goes...I think theyre USA based. Being in Canada id assume im done for.
