"Also: Storms and bad weather? How to prep your tech ahead of possible emergencies I wondered if the battery would be flat, but this is exactly how people will use their jump starters.

A 3,000A jump starter rated for gas engines up to 9 liters and diesel up to 7 liters remained in a car for nearly six months through hot and cold weather and still started the vehicle after a snowstorm. The unit, capable of up to 45 jump starts when fully charged, also includes a built-in light.

Reliable emergency gear that can survive extended storage proves more valuable than short-term review performance or initial tests.
