Portable Power Packs
Hello,
I'm thinking about buying a portable power pack. I could use it for a variety of things, but really want to know if it will be able to properly power a TV
that we use when tailgating at football games. We currently plug it into my cigarette lighter which has drained the battery a couple of times. Anyway, I've
seen a couple at Northern Tool (NPower) and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with a power pack and any recommendations. Thanks.
John

I have experience with only one type of battery pack,,, it is the Solar automobile booster. I have used this model for 10 + years. I have to buy a new one about every 3 1/2 years,,,, They are powerful & the one at work jumped 14 plus cars in a roll & I had one crank a large John Deere that had been sitting for 3 years.
I don't know how long it will power a TV, but the good thing is it will recharge overnight in the wall 7 plug it into the cigarette lighter as you drive around.

Begging your pardon, but I need to know from someone with experience: is a portable power pack a "finer thing in life"? If so, I've been missing something.
Best to all,

Stuck on the side of the road with a dead battery & or cellphone ,,, a Solar Booster Pac in the trunk, beats the hell out of a blonde in the passenger seat. Originally Posted by jleeg

But not as good as a blonde WITH a booster pac. (And, no, that's not a euphemism.) Originally Posted by Hirlau
