Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Battery Pack Booster Question

["Dave & Avie Shaver" <dshaver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doc,
     We regularly use one at the auto parts store I work at.  We keep ours 
plugged in to maintain a charge. They last about a week without plugging 
them in as long as you don't use them.  They also help if you have to remove 
the battery and don't want to lose any electronics memory.  There are some 
vehicles that require you to maintain some sort of computer memory with the 
battery removed so you don't burn it up.  They come with adapters to plug 
into either a lighter, power outlet or the old fashioned way, just hook them 
up to the battery cables before you disconnect the battery.  Ours sells for 
$70.00.
