Maybe we need to convince Bratton's or Snyder's into importing and stocking them.
However, in the short term, aren't these things essentially a gel type battery with a built in trickle charger and some meters and other accessories? Couldn't you get the same functionality out of having a spare (albeit expensive) 6 volt gel battery and just making sure you keep it charged? |
Yes, in fact you'd have a stronger longer lasting jump starter because the batteries in the starter packs are quite small.
Better yet, just keep the car in good tune, and replace the battery when it needs to be replaced, instead of waiting for it to die away from home. My 6 volt in my 1950 Studebaker is getting weak, and it's just over 13 years old, so I'll buy a new battery before driving it this summer.
