Jump start - portable power pack

I have had a Pro-User PS800 "portable power station" like this:-



for very many years, certainly over 10 years and it has given superb service.

It's now "dead", and I am wondering whether to replace the internal batteries; has anyone else done this?

I'm concerned that the batteries might not be "generic" but specific to this product.

I tried to do the battery replacement on a Halfrauds one my late Brother in Law had...complete waste of money...& time
it wasn't that good to start with.

Me - I bought a NOCO after a recommendation on here

173 pounds - the one I bought - gives 40 starts
https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOCO-GB70-Genius-...=noco+gb70

Ive used mine for large diesels in the quarries I work in...says up to 8.0 litre petrol - 5 litre diesel
We stared a Merc engined Manitou rough terrain fork lift (which I believe was 6.3)...the engine had a fault with crank angle sensor so attempted many times in one session. It did the job.

we've now bought the model above the one - but cant find the price currently, twice the capacity of mine & has a readout for battery volts

EBAY listing
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R4...p;_sacat=0

a lower cost model that will easily starts a Disco 3
113 pounds gives 20 starts
https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOCO-GB40-Genius-...;keywords=

Mine bought as an investment that has paid off.
They are quite small & fit in glove box
 BREXIT - done properly.

Haven't found a battery yet that they don't stock.

EBAY puts the cost of similar to your jump starter at about 49 - 50 pounds...
is it worth fixing ?
