QUOTE(carz @ Sep 8 2023, 06:59 AM) Regarding those car power banks, do they last? Normally we buy them and keep, but seldom use at all for years until needed. Will it deteriorate under storage especially kept in a car? All types of batteries deteriorates overtime. Instead of buying another battery specifically for jumping, why not replace a degrading battery that is on its way out ? After all, a battery replacement is already imminent.

But was told by a shop they will soon lose their status, not sure if true. Could it be part of the transition to yokohama ownership? The local Varta Dynamic Black and Blue batteries look different than those on Varta europe website, and are made in Korea. Anyone knows why?

Even if the manufactured under license Korean Varta Battery are made to look alike like the European counterpart, the technology inside will never be identical. Nobody will give away their trade secrets. It's like asking KFC for their receipi. Even if someone offered a battery manufacturer to produce a battery under a different name like an in-house brand, there is no way the quality of the in-house brand will be same than that of the battery manufacturer leading brand.
