Advice needed for buying a jump starter - Toyota Yaris Forums

my solution would be a totaly different direction

run a smaller secondary battery with an isolation unit, idealy maybe a drag racing battery like one of the 3 cell optima, mounted in the trunk with HEAVY guage battery relocation wiring

this then allows your to jump, charge and maintain BOTH batterys and everything works with nothing more than the flip of a switch for the isolation relay, nothing to carry nothing to use jumpers on(which are a crap connection anyway)...heck you could even use a wheelchair AGM the trick is you just need something with an "ok" amount of CCA
