[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 470126, member: 22374"] I have a big Schumacher. It has everything in it but a can opener... Inverter, USB charger, work light, 12 volt appliance couplings, air pump, oh, the jump starter too :-) It was silly expensive but it's bailed me out more than once and I helped friends out with it also. I WILL NOT use my car to jump start anyone. I did once and the dead car fried my alternator and everything upstream from it. I think possibly the dead car alternator had shorted diodes sending lots of AC up the wires? Dunno but never again. With the jump starter I don't have to be a di@k and refuse to jump someone. Oh, for camping and times I'm away from the grid I built an 80 watt solar battery charger :-) It's a bit more than a trickle charger and could easily be pressed into service whilst towing a boat, or in a vessel / vehicle in storage, useful only on sunny days of course. https://ibb.co/mzq5VgM [/QUOTE]
