I'm kind of out in the middle of nowhere and left a dome light on (there was a flood light hitting the car...so I didn't see it at night). Luckily there was a maintenance guy coming to the house, so I got a jump. Otherwise, I would have needed a tow truck to come down a dirt road. I've been meaning to get a jump pack for the two cars, so now I'm getting down to it. Would have come in handy today.
Any recommendations? I'm looking at the most popular model on Amazon and it looks like it will clearly do the job. I had read that if you buy one, buy one that doesn't have the strobe light, air compressor, radio beacon, etc. on it. Just buy one that starts the car.
As with all of our cheap Chinese junk these days, I'm worried about buying one that lasts for 2 years and then doesn't hold a charge. I found the Made in USA model from Clore and it seems like way more than I need and is twice the price of the JNC660. Plus I'd bet the battery is from China either way.
So anyone had one of these for a few years now? One of those things you'll use once in 3 years, but it needs to work when you need it.
