[Healeys] Portable battery jump starter

[Gil Rockwell]

A much better solution would be to use a Battery Tender connected over the
winter to maintain a full charge on the battery.  I do this on both my
collector cars, and the battery is always ready to get the car started.
This won't help your current situation, but once you get it started, get a
Battery Tender and connect it at the end of the summer season and you will
have a fully charged battery next spring.  Cars like your Chrysler always
draw power for the computer, radio, etc. and will not stay charged through
the cold winter months without charging.

I will be using my friend's Jump Charger to start my Dead Battery Chrysler
Convert in storage in Michigan when we get there May 15th.  I tried to use
my other car and battery cables to start it last month, after a long winter.
It would only tick.   Let you know how it does. Hope it works as the battery
is in a compartment and the access door is in the fender well and the car is
nose into a shed.

 

I read the amazon reviews on the Bolt Power d28 and d29 which are very
positive about turning over engines larger that our engines  My friend who
owns a 5 bay garage is impressed with today's small jump chargers when
compared to previous generations.  And, he indicates the battery should be
closer to 1000Amh to really spin the engine.  The high end units are selling
a inverter, compressor, etc rather that raw power.  My opinion of course.
Maybe the genius which was just recommended?
