On-Board small jump box (USB Charger)

[ArmyChief]

I've owned a couple jump boxes in my lifetime. This is one of the best. I actually used it last weekend at the ramp to assist a boater. I think it should be MANDATORY equipment on your vessel.

I too keep a jump box on my boat. Haven't had to use it just yet. It's a Stanley brand I got last year from Lowe's. My previous jump box was from Sears and it was great. Lasted beyond it's expected lifetime. I'm not as confident in this Stanley one just yet. I'm kinda liking the one you just posted.

i have owned one for years.. (mainly because I am too cheap to buy a new battery for my riding lawn mower) and I also take it on the boat with me... 3rd time out a guy was sitting in his boat at the dock with his family and all you could hear was that deafening CLICK.. His kids were so upset they could not go boating... I slid up beside him and reached over with the jump box.... Moved out of the way of the dock and floated near by until it started.... I eased back to the dock.. he handed it to me and gave me a very heat felt thank you... I said you are welcome and eased off in my yammi like a boss..... Once safely away from the dock and all the other boats i finally let out that breath i had been holding and dropped into the driver seat... Only my 3rd time maneuvering a 23 foot yammi in close quarters... whew!!!! .........

I carry one every time I go out on the boat. Added security, and the ability to help someone dead on the water.

My step-dad's company sells one similar to this. We tested it last weekend on his SUV and managed to start it 35 times in a row. The jump battery was 'not dead yet'(spoken in your best British accent) but it was so hot that it was melting the cover so we stopped.

Pretty remarkable for it's size.
