lhrocker Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 My legacy wouldn't start yesterday, so I had it jump started. It also happened a couple of weeks ago, but my wife had the battery on to listen to the radio while the lights were on. I'm going to get one of those jump start units and was wondering if on was better than another. Please let me know if you have or can recommend one. Thanx, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 If your batt has been discharged a couple of time it's been damaged as of now and maybe will not be up to par when it gets cold. Why not buy a new battery instead? It's about the same price. You could keep the old one in a warm place and charged with a trickle charger (cheap). Could be of some use in a pinch. My two cents.

mattocs Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 At work we have a Prestone brand portable one. It won't even turn my truck over when I leave the lights on overnight (Ford E450 6.8L V10) I second the new battery thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcspeer Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I am also looking to get one, Harbor Freight has the 400 - 900 amp on sale in the retail stores for 39.00 dollars until 7-11-05. They are very handy for jumping not only cars but the riding lawnmower that wont start at the next mowing season. Wal Mart also have them back by the batterys. I dont know which one is the best but I plan on trying the 39.00 dollar one from Harbor Freight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
