The simple solution to that is to buy one of those jumper battery
packs. I have one that I have used on occasion. It's a little
plastic case with a battery in it and short cables with the clips like
jumper cables. Then you can jump yourself.

Yeah, but I much preferred the SNL version where they compared the
DieHard Pacemaker batteries on a bunch of geriatrics on a frozen
lake...

I had a Seard DieFast in my old truck. Two of them, both less than a week
old, crapped out. Sears said it was due to my charging system.
(I already tested the system and it was fine) And had them prove it.
****** tried to charge me for testing my system, without which they wouldn't
have given me a refund on the second battery. Last time I ever had auto work
done at a Sears store.
Got another battery from a local auto garage and it worked for over five years
without a hiccup.
I think the battery has a weak cell, but just to be sure I'll throw the ammeter
on it this weekend and give it a test.

Yep. It's telling me not to leave the lights on overnight. :)
Gotta do some diags, but for right now it's taking a charge nicely.
Almost up to 15V and if it makes it there then the battery is ok
it's just my pension for the sterio and mostly dark driving that has
slowly eaten the battery down. Might upgrade the alternator.
