The idea is they stabilise the electrical circuit by adding multiple ground points which supposedly makes the electrical systems more efficient, adding power due to less drain. Lots of arguments on the forums about whether they actually work or not but on an older cars where the main ground to the battery has become oxidised you might want to change that instead - £10 on a new larger core earth cable from Europa Spares will be a good start!

Right useful knowledge that. Might be a worthwhile check, bought the BB8 from the south coast... Salty air and that.
Thanks for the know how.

Pointless pap. That's what it is.
Upgrading the standard cable to bigger Copper cables is the way forward. 4awg or 0awg.

Out of pure curiosity, which model would that gizmo come in, like would that be an optional extra, a mod someone's put in or is it something we all have?
