mactools portable jump starters prices.
I'm looking to buy one of these "Portable Jump starters"
Bruce my Interstate did this exactly the same way and I wasn’t going to replace a two year old battery. I finally got sick of the charger dance in 20 degree weather and traveling with a Mac tools jumper kit. Red top 34R Optima went in last week and it’s worth it. Kick that that SLA battery on down the road. Optimas also will last twice as long. Don’t even screw with that gold top another second. Oh and it’s 30 + pounds lighter too.
Here is one

Actually, they work, in my experience. I am going to make a post, as a PSA, on how I inadvertently discharged the battery. In the meantime, here is what saved the day:

This is a very compact pack with a nice carrying bag. I used it to start (981 Spyder) multiple times. The car fired up every single time at the first crank. Highly recommended. The battery pack now sits behind the seat for emergency use.

But this looks similar.
I guess a key feature is the 800 amps, faster than 400. Would charge a car battery quicker I assume.
