Jump Starter

[Don McCombs]

Someone recently posted a recommendation for a compact 12V jump starter. Can anyone point me to that thread? Thanks.

I'm thinking it was Peter Person that posted it, but I sure can't find it. I'll keep looking.

Fairly recent. I can't find it either. I'm beginning to think if was posted in the vine.

My thoughts as well.

I was thinking The Vine myself. I posted here hoping the original poster would see it.

I don't remember the post.
I have this one and am happy with it for portability vs the big one on wheels I have.

I got one of those compact 12V jump starters for a gift a few years ago, it had extra features like an air compressor/light/usb charging ports/etc.
Tried it once on a weak battery on my truck and didn't help much if at all. It was sub freezing at the time but that's usually when you need it. I don't have any other experience with them but I don't see how something that small could really be very effective.

It might have been my post. I bought one of these off Amazon and liked it so much I bought one for each vehicle. When the guy in line in front of me at a show couldn't get started I connected it up and she fired right up. Worked like a champ. $56.99
