Vauxhall Corsa - Portable jump starter on a Vauxhall Corsa - tommy1

Can I use a portable jump starter on my Vauxhall Corsa Mk 3?

I've ordered this one off of amazon but upon reading my car's user manual it says 'Do not start with quick charger'.

The jump starter is for the correct battery (12v 1000A) so I'm not sure if the user manual just says this to be safe, what do you guys think, is it safe to use this to jump start my dead battery?

Can't see any problem with using one of these. I think the manual is referring to those mains booster chargers that can over voltage the system. I think that the instructions for most of these recommend that the negative lead is connected to the engine, rather than the battery. If your car has stop start, then follow the car manual instructions when jump starting. There are usually specific battery terminal posts that need to be used.
