Mine came from NAPA a few tears ago. Blue fuel I believe is what it's called. Lithium battery includes 12v outlet, USB outlet, and a led task light, as well as the alligator clipped jumper leads. It has some circuitry that is supposed to prevent dead shorts and resulting explosion of the lithium battery.

It's smaller than 2 8-track tapes. It has jumped an Accura from no click dead 5 times in 10 minutes. It's started a 5.4 Ford at click dead in 10 degree weather. It'll charge an IPhone at least 5 times. I started my ATV 15 times I guess a month ago. I don't remember it dying before I finished what I wanted to do.

No it's not a dedicated AGM battery powered jump pack. It's also the size of a Bible and weighs no more including the accessories and zippered case.

I picked one up as a closeup at Walmart. But so far I have not had the need to use it. I just pull it out every four months and charge it up.

I got one at Costco about a year ago for around $60. Its a little larger than a deck of cards. Came in a nice, small zipper pack that has +/- leads for car battery and a USB cable for other devices. Also has 2 USB ports to charge other devices and a built in flashlight.
Very handy & powerful - I've used it about 3 times and works great. Also, everything fits in the glovebox. Charges by hooking up to a USB cord into my computer.

I have the one described above knocking on about 8 to ten years old in an older four wheel drive tow truck we use and it still holds a decent charge.

I would recommend the SnapOn heavy duty jump boxes since they have really upgraded and added all kinds of ports and charging features to them and they last...

I put these on all of my trucks!

If you want one of the best look at this one.

Bought one of these at WM for 99 (regular price).
Seems to be a pretty good unit so far... checked/topped off all the tires. The auto off when set pressure is reached, is great.
