I'm looking for another jump starter, or battery booster. These are the portable/rechargeable gizmos that can be connected to a low battery to start a LBC/car/truck/etc. Any suggestions?
I bought one at a parts store that lasted 6-8 months with light usage. When it quit holding enough charge it took it back and they replaced it under warranty. Now the 2nd one is belly up and I would like to either get a good one, or a cheap one that will start a V-8 and then when it quits I won't feel bad about it not lasting.
I don't need the air compressor (they tend to overheat) or all of the outlets. I would prefer to speend less than $100, but if I can find a good one I may spring for it.
What amp rating is needed? I think I had one rated @ 1000 amps, peak, that would start my truck, MG, etc, but that may have been more than I need. Any suggestions?
Thanks
