Since I have experienced a dead battery recently (Braille), I was thinking of
getting a battery booster pack. One that can be stored easily in the trunk.
Black and Decker sell one that uses the car's DC outlet to boost the battery,
but I have read mixed reactions about their "Simple Start Vehicle Battery Booster".
Pros
- no jump cables needed
- compact
- LED light for emergencies
Cons
- needs recharge every 30-days or so, even when not used
- over-priced, re-badged Chinese product (allegedly)
- 15 min wait before attempting to start the car (minor inconvenience)
Anyone got one of these ?
ps. my fault for the dead battery, left the power on when I was at the
garage for new tyres and got talking with the owner.
