Jump Pack

Any recommendations on a jump pack ? I searched the forum but didn`t find any thing. I`m looking for something like this ; https://www.cobra.com/products/porta...mpack-cpp-8000 . I have a larger one at home but thinking it would be nice to have one i can carry in the truck without being too bulky. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

My Department supplied us with these to carry in our Patrol Cars (see Link below). After having it nearly a year now, it still works perfectly, jumped whatever vehicle every time, very small in size & has its own carry case.... https://starkpower.com/product/jumpbox-v8-pro-1000

Check out the Anti Gravity brand. I have an older XP-3 model that starts V8s just fine and it's small enough to fit under the seat of my Yamaha.

Check out the warranty from the store as sometimes you have to send then into the mfg and not return to store. I think they all are pretty good and only a few companies make them and brand for other people.

I use this one and it works for a lot less money.

Alloro , I already have one similar to that one from harbor freight. Actually it was the 5 in 1 thats on the right hand side of the link . The battery just died in it after 5 years . I like the idea of the smaller ones because they take up less space . i think i will go with the Starkpower unit . Thanks for all the replies

Nothing wrong with that, even most car batteries are designed to last only 5 years.
