Yes, single phase. And, as stated earlier, 50Hz.

'Mains' in the UK are 240V, correct?

        This is not exactly what is being discussed but I bought
          one 30+ years ago and it has never failed on any flat battery
          that was not completely sulphated. On diesel engines up to 6
          litre capacity.

        Maybe expensive but with the GBP currently on the floor
          versus the USD there's no better time to buy.

        
        

        
        Your only problem will be that any neighbour with a poor
          starting car will always be wanting to borrow it.

              Bob,
                

              
              Another option
                    is what I do.  I hate those anemic jump boxes.  They
                    are pretty much just an undersized battery with
                    cables attached. 

              
               

              
              What I did was
                    get some quick disconnection battery terminals like
                    these, but heavier duty... 

              
              https://www.ebay.com/itm/Anderson-SB120-Connector-Kit-Blue-2-Awg-6801G1/270508372567
                

              
               

              
               

              
              Then I put them
                    on  my zero turn mower.  The battery I use in that
                    tractor is a normal car sized fit and I put a high
                    CCA battery in it. 

              
               

              
              When I need to
                    jump start something, I can quickly remove it from
                    the tractor, and attach the special jumper cable I
                    made (with one end having that connector) to the
                    battery and I'm in business. 

              
               

              
              Sometimes I
                    don't even need to remove the battery from the
                    tractor. 

              
               

              
              If you don't
                    have a tractor (or other toy) that takes a car sized
                    battery, and you can't find a proper jump charger,
                    just buy a normal car battery and trickle charger.
                     It beats the jump box because it's cheaper with
                    more power. 

              
               

              
              Just another
                    option.
