Thanks guys. That does give me some useful info.
Regarding the chargers - I do have several, one big one similar to the one pictured, and with the 400 Amp jump start setting... and it is great to have. I also have smaller chargers, a Battery Tender, etc.
I'm mostly thinking of the jump starter for travel purposes. When on weekend camping trips, I like to explore back roads, and do a lot of stopping and getting out of the vehicle, and sometimes end up in remote areas.
Problem is, it wouldn't get used very often, and as mentioned above, that could be bad. After reading some reviews, it seems that people are about 50/50 with having good luck, or having it not work the one time they needed it.
I do carry decent jumper cables in both vehicles, but one set is getting old. I wouldn't mind making some out of the 00 welding cable. Any suggestions on the best clamps to use on them?
Thx again. Sry for rambling on. JT
