Seems to me that if it doesn't have the bypass button its not worth having.

My battery totally died after I filled up at a gas station. I have a voltmeter wired directly to the battery and saw with each attempted start the volts go from 10 to 2 then blank.
The little booster fired it up first time like a new battery. I think this came from Amazon and is over 7 years old. Just in case this helps. There is no button.

Edit:
The battery failed on the bike
(sorry about the slippers)

I have the same brand from Costco. No button required, just plug and play.

Vevor top handle saw passed round one. Started in a few pulls and didn't do anything concerning. You can't lean on it as expected but it cut full bar without bogging down. Vibration is worse than good saws. Much faster and easier to prune trees than the previous solution of pruning blade in a recip saw.

I've given a Vevor ultrasonic cleaner a good workout.
Had it over a year.
it works as expected.

I have the Genius5 one and it's great that the $75 charger can take care of regular LA, AGM, and Lithium batts, all of which we have on site. It wouldn't repair the LA that suddenly went flat in my lawn tractor but neither would my Ctek.

My mechanic swears by Vevor. That’s where he gets all his specialty tools that he may only use a few times. He says the quality of them generally is surprisingly good for the price.

Never overlook Facebook Marketplace. I’m getting into a little welding and fabricating as a hobby and decided I needed a bigger bandsaw. Found this today on Facebook Marketplace in Oshawa a block away from where I was working at The Canadian Automotive Museum, I was a little hesitant, it’s a real bad part of The Shwa. She was asking $300 and it came with 6 blades( a $100 value).
All easily worth over $600 new. I asked if she would accept $200, she said come get it. I got there shortly after and felt kind of bad, turns out she was an older woman who had lost her leg and I think her husband in a motorcycle accident. The bandsaw was her husband’s and when she opened the case it had that brand new smell and looked like it may have been used for ten minutes with the original blade, the chord was stiff and still had curls in it like it had just been unwound for the first time. Great deal.
