Just a cheap one from sears, I’m not sure on the name brand, I think it’s a diehard. I’ve have it for about 5 years and it still works great. ---

Come to think of it, there is a jump box at work Ive used several times to start big diesel trucks with dual batteries, that are somtimes completely dead, as in, when you turn the key, no click or anything, deader than dead. Its a red jump n carry, one of the 12 or 24v ones, and sometimes it takes a few min for the batteries on the truck to charge enough to start but it always worked. Plus its been the same one for at least 4 years now, at least. Looks like Ill be getting a jump n carry… Edit: Ordered one of these: [http://www.cloreautomotive.com/site\_prod.asp?sku\_pk=49](http://www.cloreautomotive.com/site_prod.asp?sku_pk=49) We have this at work: [http://www.cloreautomotive.com/site\_prod.asp?sku\_pk=53](http://www.cloreautomotive.com/site_prod.asp?sku_pk=53) I got the last JNC4000 offered on [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) for 99.99. Now its 122.99, and thats still a good price ---

Purchased this exact one at Pep Boys aboot 6 years ago for like $70. lol [http://www.herringtoncatalog.com/r148.html](http://www.herringtoncatalog.com/r148.html) I had to put new clamps on it because the plastic ones eventually broke but other than that it is awesome. ---
