Is the 70mai PS06 worth it?

Yes for drivers of large gasoline or mid-size diesel vehicles who want a reliable trunk booster. At $79.99 at Amazon as of November 3, it sits near its recent low and undercuts most 1000A rivals.

Will it start my diesel truck?

It is rated for diesel engines up to 3.5L, so it suits most passenger diesels but not larger diesel trucks. For a 6.0L or bigger diesel, look for a higher-current unit.

How long does the battery last between charges?

70mai claims up to 50 starts per charge and a low self-discharge rate. In practice, top it up every few months so it is ready when you need it.

How long does it take to recharge?

About 8 hours from empty. Plan to charge it overnight after heavy use.

What comes in the box?

The jump starter and smart battery clamps. No case or wall charger is listed, so use a standard USB charger you already own.

It has sold between roughly $70 and $110 recently. The current $79.99 at Amazon as of November 3 is close to the floor, so waiting is unlikely to save much.
