Hey guys. I'm looking for one of the best recommended portable jumpstart boxes for the money. I just retired (trashed) my harbor freight version which was bought in 2010. It worked well for me for five years and within the last year the battery has been weak where it would only get two jumps off of one charge. I think that is really good for the $60 HF unit especially since I have jumped some 100+ tractors with it many times and many other things too.
Now.....my uncle just bought one about 8 months ago that is a little nicer looking than mine. It is a "Centech" unit and I think it probably came from harbor freight too but not sure. One thing I like it better than my old one is the longer cables. I don't like his for the fact that it is new and I can only jump 2, MAYBE 3 small Farmall tractors with it before it dies. I want one to last! I would have bought a new battery for mine but the battery was $10 more than the whole thing cost me 5 years ago
