    I won one at a raffle @ Inzane 24. Today fer yuks and giggles after removing the battery from the 88 G/W we hooked up the jump box to the battery leads. Turned that engine just fine!  cooldude Figuring the jump box WILL come in handy this coming winter. RIDE SAFE.

While on the subject, I’ve been thinking about getting one. Also want it to work on autos. Any recommendations for good quality brands and size. Thanks.

That's the one I got.
True (lithium ion) battery capacity, powerful compressor,  works for car and motorcycles.
4 Car tires used 20% battery capacity, 2 car starts another 20%
So far I trust it.

For those who have a Chinese shop allergy, you may find it on Amazon, too.

 I use NOCO brand. GB40 model, they have many sizes. I have jumped my F-250 more than once off a single charge. They are available on Amazon and I bought my first one at Auto Zone. Mine got a young couple that had been waiting on the highway for over an hour waiting for a tow for their bike back on the road. that was on my way home from Inzane. I sent it with them so hopefully they would make it home. They said they would ship it to me asap after they arrived home, we will see, they seemed honest to me. Even if they don't they will probably pay it forward someday when they're an old fart like me. Autozone dude said they can jump about 40 times before needing a recharge, I take that with a grain of salt and usually recharge mine after a couple of jumps to feel safe.

I have two from Antigravity Batteries, a small one and a big one. Both will start a F-150 truck, no problem, but are small enough for saddlebags. The smaller one fits in my cargo pants pockets.
I also use them to keep cell phones and other device with USB charge cables topped up.

Got this one....
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HJH1S41/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Its wicked powerful. I have one car that I dont drive that often and the battery goes low. This thing starts it immediately... like POW!  Worth the bucks... cooldude

I am a big fan of Project Farm on YT and this one tested the best.
