does anyone keep a jump starter in their vehicle(s)?

Yes. I keep a small lithium power pack from Noco.

I keep one in my 17 year old daughters vehicle because it is older. Plus it is portable power for phone or laptop if needed.

Mine arrived and fit perfectly in the space my car has for this type of stuff. I'll just have to remember to check it once a quarter or so to see if needs charging.

I also have to double check I can drop the back of the rear seats from inside. If my battery is totally dead I don't think I can open the trunk from outside so having it in the trunk in that case will only work if I can get it from inside the car. I don't recall if I ever had to lower the back of the seats, definitely haven't done it to transport stuff.

Good thinking ahead! Its easy to forget so many modern cars are going away from having multiple lock cylinders on the outside.

$54.26 after tax. I bought the same one for my dad about a year and a half ago and he liked it (though he hasn't used it much). This brand scored well with Project Farm's test so I went for it again.

Y’all have me thinking. Might order one for my kiddo when he goes to college in the fall. His car will be parked out in all sorts of weather and don’t know how often he’ll drive it and probably won’t be far when he does.

The Jag's battery went flat in the driveway while giving it a wash today. The little jump starter had no trouble getting it going again.

I carry the GOOLOO Supersafe jump starter in the company car since I make some overnight trips. Fortunately I have never had to use it on my own car but I was able to help someone else. I also carry a portable tire inflator. I randomly helped someone in the parking lot of the physical therapy office with a flat tire. Hopefully that person was able to make it home.
