Sweet! I kinda figured a real industrial pack would be *real* money. For less than 200$ you can get a hand cart, a good HD battery plastic box and monster 1/0 cables and just use a china marker on the side of it and write 'JUMP PACK' and be ahead of the game.
At work I've seen various employees struggle with consumer grade packs trying to help one of our diesel engines get started.. and honestly.. I've never seen one work with any degree of success.. other than actually charging the flat battery a bit before a proper jump/boost from an acceptable donor battery or a vehicle with a large enough battery/ sets of batteries to do the job.. and that usually means more than 1 set of -GOOD- hd booster cables.. not those wimpy 4ga things auto zone sells.
