Battery Booster packs - thoughts?

[turbo392]

Another Optima crapped out in my truck today and I drove across town and back to pick up my SxS. I have rear battery lugs in my truck box and I just left my booster pack on the whole trip. Truck was totally dead without it and the booster pack gauge still read full afterwards. Well worth the money.

Eventually I'll have to. But for now I will make my 4th Optima warranty exchange at Walmart.

Keep the receipt & return it just before it expires. I run a car dealership & It gets heavy use in the winter & by next fall it doesn't take a charge

Ended up buying one for 179 at crappy tire. We'll see if she does the job come go time. Has a compressor and USB slots too, which will be nice for dry camping with no genny too

I bought a Schumaker 750 at Costco last week for $75...compressor, usb port, etc. Nice and compact...should stow away in the back of the wife's suv for those "uh oh" moments.
