For you guys that keep one in your truck, how often do you bring it in to recharge? I went to my camp yesterday and my wheeler was dead, I hooked up the jump box and it fired right up. But the jump box only had two bars and brought it in to charge and it took almost 8 hours to get it fully charged back up. It's a almost new jumper, first time I have ever used it.

I just "check it periodically" (when I happen to think about it) and charge as-needed....If I actually use it, I'll go ahead recharge it after use, whether the indicator light says it needs it or not. If I haven't used it, it's not uncommon to go 4-6 months without charging it and it isn't anywhere close to being low/dead

in fact, this is actually a good reminder for me....I haven't used or charged it in probably 6 months and I'm driving down to the coast Thur night, so I'll go ahead and plug it up just to be safe.

Charge mine every few Months. Actually used it today on a lawnmower.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Last July, I bought the one in the link below. I only charged it when it got here and I've used it about half dozen times. Right now it's down 1 bar from fully charged. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C42Y5TPD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

They need to be charged up once a month whether they're used or not.

Thanks for the reminder y'all , I need to top off the charge on mine.

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

I have the capacitor type that will compress the charge you have left in your battery. Or you can get it from another battery.

They need to be charged up once a month whether they're used or not. Based on a need or just what you feel is good for it. Mine did not have information as when to charge it, other than if at or below 50% power.

They will save your ass, at times. Was way up in the woods about a year ago, all by myself. Went to leave, and my battery was dead. Jumped my truck, and didn't turn it off till I got home.

Brother Man, I need to get me one of those...Thanks for the heads up Wiley...  I really like how small and compact it is, I like the little carrying case, and I sure can't complain about the price either... 
Did you know that Beer Nutz are over a Dollar...and Deer Nutz are under a Buck...

L&c in Geraldine has the same one in Geraldine alabama. For 30.00, I would call ahead and make sure they still had some.
Love a good hunting story, love my family and friends. Some people you can't, but acted like do.

I have one of these and have jumped off a John Deere 410 backhoe with it. Technology has come a long way.

I’ve got one by Ryobi that uses my power tool batteries. You do have to “prime” it, which I assume is charging a capacitor of some type. Only complaint so far is the leads could be a little longer.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

I had one I forgot about. Battery dead and wouldn't charge when I finally did need it.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
