Looking at picking up one of these and wondering if there's any specific brands to avoid or any specific ones to buy.

RAVPower 14000mAh Car Jump Starter 550A Peak Current Portable Charger Car Battery (4.2A output, LCD Display, Safety Protection, Built-In Flashlight) Perfect for Diesel or Gas Engines up to 3L or 5L https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C7746H6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YYCqybQSV6NPW


There's a million of em out there it seems. Not looking for my car necessarily , but would be nice to throw in my pack for my snowmobile (I have estart and no pull start) and for a portable way to recharge devices (cell phone, gopro, etc....)

Deju Vu. Saw you thread on HCS too! But I keep a small set of jumper cables on my sled since I'm estart only too. Pack stays in my car or quad.

I've researched these many times - but haven't pulled the trigger. This is probably the best out there as far as not being China junk and meeting your needs. Probably still made in China, but appear to be high quality and great reviews. I haven't bought one because I want something that will start a car that doesn't even have a battery in it if needed and this one doesn't appear to be able to do it. One note, don't leave it in your sled or truck overnight before riding, really low temps could make it not work when you need it. Search this on Amazon and make sure you buy it from Amazon. It's so popular there are fakes being produced and sold online, even from some 3rd party sellers on Amazon:

I believe the RAV Power is the one I saw my coworker using to jump start his car after work one day. I've been wanting to pick up a couple for my vehicles.
