I never had one of the old ones with the full size battery within because every time I ever saw anyone try and use one it was either flat or not powerful enough
Then I bought one of the tiny lithium ones and I’ve used it three times ( not on my van I add ) and it’s never been charged yet !

Nesty,yes mine did work....a year ago!! I though ( because of the low self discharge of lithium batteries ) that it would stay charged!
A better idea ( for my setup ) is a solar panel as the car alarm takes 300 milliamps! And occasionally goes off if the weather is too hot or cold!
