Been thinking of adding a small lithium jump starter to the bike's kit as prices are reasonable and they're pretty light weight. Good investment or money wasted?

Did it ruin the battery or does it just discharge faster in the heat?My Dad got one for his VTX and put it in the tail bag. We both live in an EXTREMELY hot place, and lithium ion batteries die faster than lead-acid here. It worked for him, but then he put it in the car for a while and it wouldn't even light up the dash after several months.
So, they work very well and are very light and compact, but if you live where it's hot, they won't last long if you leave them in or on a vehicle that's left in outdoor-temp conditions.
An argument could be made that purchasing a new battery makes more sense ;-)My NC’s battery is still healthy, but it’s the original battery and is almost 8 years old, so carrying the jump pack makes sense.
