I keep this one from noco in my truck. I love being able to charge it from the USB port in my truck so I don't have to remember to vary it inside to top off.

Audew here.
Works like a charm. Biggest one 2000A, 20000mAh. Also charges my phone in a pinch (like in the boat). |

NOCO GB80s in each vehicle. They're small, hold a charge forever, and can crank anything. (<- Well, anything _I_ have. ;) )

Quote HistoryQuoted: Had a couple smaller ones that were not always capable, replaced them with a jnc770 should have gotten it or a 660 in the beginning. I agree with you completely. There's plenty of room in a vehicle for a JNC660, no reason not to carry something much more reliable. I carry an antigravity on the bike with a permanent wiring harness installed. But for a truck...I want a full size jump pack. |

A jump box is not going to solve the issue of your battery terminals being inaccessible, because they use clamps just like jumper cables.
Check your manual for jump points. The wife’s Honda Pilot takes some disassembly to access the battery terminals. It takes even more disassembly to access the jump point

I use to be a tech so i always had one and my last one is still going after 5 or so years. Its one of the old school ones that just had a battery inside so it can be taken apart and replaced should the need ever arise. It won't be jumpstarting a completely dead fullsize diesel but its started plenty of gas v8's and smaller

Quoted: The battery in my vehicle is not accessible to attach jumper cables... Anyone have a jump box they can recommend? One of my Marines said NOCO boost X, was a good one. TIA I used to go to a lot of Car Shows and aside from folks showing off their Stereos, Video Screens, neons, strobes and air bags, many of them had shaved doors with remote door poppers that work great, if the battery is not dead or too low to function. Several guys I know ended up using the remote terminals to get enough juice to get the doors popped or to jump the car. I'd recommend using 0/1 or larger from the primary batt to the terminals. Also at those shows, because of the electrical goodies mentioned above, when it was time to roll out, there was always that guy with a dead bat. I usually kept a good eye on my ride and battery conditions, but I figured one day it was bound to happen to me too.. Not wanting to be that guy, I always kept a jump box from Walmart in my truck during shows. I'd charge it every other month or after a usage. Seemed like every other show I was giving someone's batt a jump. Also, I everyone else can do as they want, but I will not jump off of my vehicle. I usually buy one of the bigger jump boxes for like 100-150.00 that also has a small compressor and an Aux DC outlet you can run a Cell Car Charger on or something else with low amp draw. Also, I usually take one camping and or off roading. I normally get a good 6-7 years out of them, then replace it.. I've never regretted buying one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Some of the jump starters, battery chargers, and battery maintainers will come with both jumper cables and ring/eyelet terminals with some type of connecter. The ring/eyelet terminals allow one to attach them to the battery posts in an inconvenient/inaccessible spot, then run the wire out to where one can access it. Then one just attaches the connectors together and away they go to jumpstart or charge/maintain the battery. For example one from NOCO: https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GC002-Eyelet-Terminal-Connector/dp/B004LWQ35Y https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81iSVLoemtL._AC_UL116_SR116,116_.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Serious question, OP, if you can't access your battery to attach jumper cables, then how would you use any of the suggest jump starter boxes? Don't they all require clamping down on the two battery terminals? Some of the jump starters, battery chargers, and battery maintainers will come with both jumper cables and ring/eyelet terminals with some type of connecter.

Using CLA will not jump a vehicle and would take forever to charge. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Read your damn owners manual and find the remote + and - terminals. The lithium jump packs are great, we use them everyday at work, but you still have to pop the hood and hook them to your jump start posts. They aren't going to solve your battery location problem, but the factory likely already has, unless you are driving something that you relocated the battery in without installing proper jumpstart posts. So.... what kind of car? |

you can catch them on amazon occasionally for $70. The first one i ordered would only hold a charge for about 3 days. I contacted the mfg and sent a video, replaced two days later. Been in the trunk for 1 yr and still shows 95%. Ive got two jumps off of a charge, im sure it would do more if needed. . |

TIA I have the NOCO Boost X and have used it multiple times. I love it. It has a carry case for the unit and usb charging cord. The actual jumper cables are detachable, but they don't fit in the case. That's the only negative so far. NOCO is big in battery chargers for boats, so I was confident in them for this application as well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does a lot of good in the parking lot at work. Out hunting. You like to argue don't ya? Actually I bring common sense to questionable arguments. If your car battery does not make it in those conditions maybe you need a new battery. Or stay home. It should be common sense to take a battery jump pack inside overnight. Battery "capacity/output" drops significantly in very cold temperatures. You might also consider hand warmer type devices and a blanket or similar heat retention system over the battery. You can take these suggestions as possible helpful hints or just resort to "You like to argue" comments. Either way I am not impacted negatively. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: NOCO gb40’s in all the vehicles. Work good. One VERY nice feature is you have the option to bypass the protections so if you have a dead flat battery you can still jump it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't see how it could be any worse than your car battery baking under the hood of your car/truck when it's 100* outside every day.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the only thing the Antigravity does well is look good in a small package. It's not nearly as powerful as it's competition. I keep my XP10 in my motorcycle backpack just in case, but it has failed to start my ATV. The Gooloo on the other hand, I've used to start a number of SUVs, pickups, and that blasted ATV. |
