I used to do some consulting work with AAA and occasionally rode along =
with their drivers.  This was 5 years ago and the lithium ones were new =
and not very good yet, but they always carried this Clore charger: =

since.  It is way bigger than a lithium one, but it holds a charge very =
well and will jump a truck without difficulty.  It has rescued me and =
strangers in need multiple times.  I will likely buy another, more =
modern, Clore when the time comes.

The smallest of which (1000 amp model) easily starts my 5.7 V8.  The =
larger one (2000 amp) will start my 7.4 V8 from a dead battery in -10f =
weather.  They hold their charge VERY well in storage.  I take them out =
and charge them twice a year and have never had an issue using one to =
jump any vehicle I have tried them on.  Smaller engines can be started =
several times on a single charge.  These are not the cheapest, but they =
come up on sale on Amazon several times a year.  I got one of the 1000 =
amp models for $45 on sale last year.  Highly recommended.
