How to choose a portable battery jump starter?

What the last time you use your jump starter?

Luckily, I haven't had to use it to start anything "yet". I've only used it as a portable charger for cameras, cell phones, etc.

I have the Microstart pro by Antigravity which is they're smallest version. The largest version will start a Diesel engine, and still fit im the glove box!

Hahaha, it is indeed a lucy thing. But I prefer to prior preparing.

Yesterday! I was pulling in to Walmart to park. There was a car with the hood open and an auto dept guy with a small jump starter - No Go. I asked "does she need help"? He said his wasn't doing the trick, so I took out my 1000 amp Schumacher jump starter and the car started easily.

As I was walking back to my car, she said "you just saved a life, I am taking my husband to dialysis".

Betty,

Check out the Anti-Gravity Micro Start models, this link also has a good video review. They are small, powerful, and can be used for charging many different things. Those large, heavy, portable battery jump starters are old news now. Antigravity Micro-Start XP-1 Power Supply - RevZilla

We have the XP1 and XP10. Incredibly light and compact.

But for winter use we have a Clure JNC660. Much better quality, not much more $$ than the stuff you get at general stores. They build their own AGM batteries that have tremendous capacity and need minimal charging.

Buy once, cry once. Look at their reviews compared to all other brands on Amazon.

I use one of these, 12v/24 boxes, Dsr Proseries Portable Power Source, 5A, 12/24VDC PSJ-4424 | Zoro.com. A little spendy, but if you need to jump 24v diesel engines in cold weather, its the box you want.

Nope. I am not interested in it. Thanks all the way.
