Double your existing range, learn all the skills, acquire equipment, so you will know how to do a full chair, keep the lead. Keep the warranty. Make the lead last many years.
I will make this a sticky.

Would that be the case if the main lead battery was still being regularly cooked by a mobility charger?

Meaning the small add-on pack will be doing all the work alone which may not do it much good. That said, I have tried it.

snaker wrote:I am still vague about how to switch the power source from the add-on to the battery box. Is that done automatically or manually? E.g if the gauges loose the first green light (means the add-on is closely drained), does the battery box automatically become the power source in replace of the add-on? Or do you manually unplug the add-on and then plug the connector to the battery box?
