Jump starter/pack worth having?

Thank you both for that info. My DCSB has all the plastic removed from the storage area behind the seat. I plan to wrap a large towel around it if I do buy it, to keep it from rocking so much.

I see you keep them in your truck all the time. That’s my plan as well.

 

NOCO Genius Boost seems like a good and popular one. But I don't know which model of it is best to get, and if it's worth even getting one.
Because while I like how it performs when using it, I've probably used one less than 5 times.

 

I've had an Antigravity XP-10 Micro-Start Kit for 7+ years, works great, will even start a vehicle with a completely dead battery, some will, some won't, but it's expensive. I charge it only if it needs it, maybe once a year or so. I put it in whatever vehicle I'm driving that day. Don't keep it in a vehicle parked outside, heat/cold will eventually kill any battery. Can be used for other stuff, charging phones, etc.

 

The NOCO works great. Used it many times already.

 

I have used my jump pack more that once to recharge my metal detector.

 

For sure they are always great to have aboard.

I’ve used my

$100 Noco GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Jump Starter Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 6.0L Gasoline and 3.0L Diesel Engines

Noco GB40 to help a couple people stuck with dead batteries before and they are always surprised the little thing can jump it.

 

I purchased the Boltpower off Amazon, thinking I needed a big one. Nope. Used it twice on friend's vehicle after work, on a 4.0 Taco. Fired right up. Based on Wirecutter reviews, purchased the Weego 22s (smallest one, no phone charger) for my daughter's (Honda 1.8 I4) and wife's (Kia 3.5 V6) vehicles since they have the polarity check. My high school daughter used it to start her civic before school with only a "you can do it" coaching session over the phone. She proceeded to use the pack 2 more times during the day to finish school and get to OReilly to get a new battery. I bring them in a charge them at Christmas and Christmas in July. Twice a year, that's it. Super happy with the Weego.

 

Halo Bolt.

Love that thing. It's about the size of a VCR tape, is rechargable, lasts a long time/multiple jump starts, and has USB ports for device charging. We have one for each vehicle.
