Happy New Year all!

Long time lurker and gained a lot of fantastic info here. Thank you. .

My Enyaq is on order and currently own a Ford ICE car.

I'm thinking of buying a portable jump-start battery like this :-



Does anyone know.... Will this work on both ICE and the Enyaq please?

If it doesn't, is there one which will?

Many thanks in advance.

Looking at the listing on amazon, it says that it's not suitable for Electric Cars.
It looks like it's mainly a battery pack for mobile phones/usb devices, thar can also be used in an absolute emergency to help start a car, but it does not look that durable to me. The listing reckons the pack can handle 609a, but with how small those cables look, u would not want to risk it as the cables would get hot quickly. The listing says it can only be charged to full 30 times as well. Even as a mobile phone charger, that's n
Does not sound very good.
If you are worried about getting a flat 12v battery, I'd buy a proper trickle charger, or just battery monitor so you can keep an eye on it, but the car should handle that when you are driving and charging the car.
