Default Jump starters

I have a Michelin jump starter & portable LED power bank. The manual states that: The jump starter may fail to work correctly with vehicles that require remote battery jumper locations. Does anyone have any experience with jump starters failing to work with the Corvette? Also the Corvette owner’s manual states to use only GM approved jump starters. Any thoughts?

I have a NOCO 1745 that I keep in the C8 just in case….or transfer it to whatever vehicle we take on a trip. Used it today for the first time on my neighbors Escalade that woke up dead this morning. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the recommendation on the jump starter. Have heard good things about the NOCO brand.
