I'm interested in getting a jump start battery pack. Are there ones that you recommend to get or recommend to avoid? Thanks for any help in advance.

There is a thread here that someone started recently on that subject. Might find it through the search feature.
Jumper cables? Nah....there is a newer better solution.
I read on Mopar Action awhile back about these new battery jumper boxes: These are interesting. I like the idea of having something lightweight and compact to bring with any vehicle I'm taking on road trips. No need for getting help from someone else for a jump start if you accidently...

My brother gave me this one from Harbor Freight, Christmas 2022.
It's a little bulky compared to some of the new tech out there, but it has held up well, but it's a compressor, light, and USB charger too.

Thanks for the help! I was thinking too logically and only searched the tools forum. I didn't think to look in general discussion. I'm a little leary in that I've seen these little jump boxes that don't do anything and those big boxes that work....for a short time and then become junk. To read some testimonials on the other thread have been a huge help.
The trick is, you have to keep them charged....
The instructions stated, charge completely after EVERY USE, and/or every two weeks, I have done that and it's hanging in there!

I bought one of the ones about same size as pack of smokes. 2-3 consecutive start attempts MAX! Then it has a 3-4 hour charge time....fack that.
