Re: Bah.. me battery died.
Ya, I was looking at those....but I couldn't really justify it before.
So far as being out in the bush with a dead battery....well, I don't go
alone....so that's covered.
To get the right use out of it, I'd have to carry it with me....and
certainly it's a pain without the cargo room in the TJ.

Re: Bah.. me battery died.
I have one of those and it came in handy on my old YJ, which did not have a
tinkle bell for the lights. Have not had to use it on the TJ yet tho. The
other day I left my lights on during the day at work. The TJ did not start,
but after letting it sit for a few minutes (like 5) it cranked over and
started up. I was thinking, now where is that thing....

Re: Bah.. me battery died.
A good auto battery can chemically recharge. If you leave a
discharged battery alone like you did for an hour or so, it'll start an
engine every time.
