Battery jump pack?
 
Ok so the Jeep acted up this morning and reminded me that I need to pick up a jump pack. I've seen bunch of different options. So who's using what and what would you recommend? I'm looking for one of the smaller handheld units.

Thanks,
Mike

I have an old autozone one which works just fine. they are all pretty much the same as far as I have seen.

I have a Jump N Carry, and it's great. It's a model 660.

The small lithium/cobalt jumpers work well (I started my V8 Touareg with it) and also double as USB charger for any electronic device. It fits well in the storage compartments behind the seats, too.

Wow! Great replies - now off to do some more research. One of these will be going into my road bag.

I have the Cobra too (QVC, they have demo video). Fits in the cubby below the roll bar. It will jump start an SUV.
Nothing worse than begging someone for a jump start in the middle night on a dark road frequented only by serial killers.
And nothing worse than having jump cables that don't reach because of the way the car is parked.

I went with the Cobra. It had a ton of great reviews and is small enough to hide away in my "road bag". I'll do a write up on it once I've received it and had a chance to use it.
