I jumped a 1970's Ford 750 backhoe with a similar battery pack. Started
a Chevy Silverado with one too.
Given that portable booster packs used to be on a hand cart I was
skeptical, but yes they do work.

I jumped a dead (real dead) Duramax with a GB40 I'd bought as a
gimmick a while back and that sold me on the tech. It wasn't happy
about it (way undersized for the job), but it worked. Now rocking a
GB150. Easy to use, don't have to drag things close enough to run
jumper cables, built in voltmeter, keeps a charge forever, etc.
Jumping cars is fun now.

Autozone for my son and it worked as advertised.
At $200 it’s not cheap, actually more than a spare battery and a set of jumper
cables. But this gizmo is a lot safer and more compact. No sparks to set off
a hydrogen explosion, and no worries about reverse polarity or shorting the
cables together.
He has an old Grand Prix GXP which is hard to turn over and also seems to eat
batteries every 2-3 years. Oh, and it’s wicked cold out.
