I've been waiting for this Power Box 800 to go on sale at CT, but no luck.
Does it ever go on sale?

Personally i think this is a case of looking to invent something that people might buy rather than filling a need. I have lots of cars to jump from in an emergency and I have a battery charger with car star ability . That's all you need really for household. i think for the amount of times you use this it would not be worth the maintanance and storage.

Thanks all.
Re: reliability/longevity, I'm going to roll the dice on this one. I still have
a 700A booster pack from CT that is at least 16 years old and still boosting
cars!!! I wouldnt believe it myself if it wasn't me who purchased it.
The Power pack i'm looking at will be for a different use. I have a snake-eye
motion triggered digital video camera/recorder that I want to place in
the storage locker of my condo. Without breaking my padlock, somebody
pulled at the corner of the cage-door, squeezed their arm in and took
a very nice 20yr singlemalt that I had hidden among some sheets & shoes.
The draw isn't large for my recorder, so I was hoping the Power pack
could handle 2 days (weekends) of use in between recharging. As I said,
it only records when motion is detected.
I dunno...thought I'd give it a shot.
Thanks for your replies! I'll take the advice of chatting with the manager.

I've always wanted one of these too. Is there a version that is known to work well?
I'm always trying to start boats, gen sets, and various cars. The P is a known battery eater and if my battery dies I can't get to it without boosting the inside panel to trigger the hood release, soooo seems like a good idea to me.
My P dealership uses them, I saw a stack of them ready to deploy in the service office.

I bought one older than that, used it once, warrenty ran out, it never worked again. Mine was a waste of money. I bought a trickle charger for something like $11, it has been money well spent.
