I need to get a portable booster power pack to charge my boat battery in the off season and be available to jump on the lake in case of an emergency. What should I get?
Go to your local automotive store and purchase a small trickle charge solar powered battery charger. (About $15.00) Put the solar plate just ouside a window with lots of light and let the power of the sun work its magic in your absence.
Best Battery Booster Pack
The two uses you have, are not solved with a portable battery pack. Off season storage requires a maintainer type charger. That is something a jumper pack doesn't do. Almost any of the portable packs can jump a boat battery, however might I caution that electronic ignitions and computer controls do not like extraneous spark like sometimes you get when hooking up a jumper pack. So, I don't take the chance. I charge the battery, or use the maintainer charger and never jump my battery.
