I am/was an unbeliever but I flattened the battery in my Sub Outback 3.6 by leaving the internal light on over about a week. Admittedly the car was in my garage, the temperature was warm, and there was probably some life in the battery, not enough though to turn the engine but a mate with one of the Cory’s ones clipped on and the car fired up immediately. Whether the unit could sustain any sort of longer crank I don’t know/doubt myself but there you are, worked on my 6 cylinder. Possibly also my battery had a lot more life in it than a totally flat one but I think the Sub’s electronics actually prevented it cranking due to the lower level.

This article is in the latest ElectroLink magazine.
There is also a history of the units catching fire when left in car gloveboxes - if you have one big enough to take it I guess.
