    I hate to be negative, but that will be dead when you need it. Also, this video is bogus. No way to prove batteries were actually dead. Plus, I would love to see how well this works in the dead of winter!!!

    I have that exact same branded jump box, but it is the 1000 or 1200 series. It has lasted just shy of two years, the exterior lights started staying on & now it will no longer accept a charge. Worked good jump starting cars for about 18 months, but am going to have to buy another.

    Mine was about $135 shipped & just did a quick glance, the lowest price for this one was $250.

    I can't see one of these being able to start a big truck.

    Well on a day when you can wear a T shirt maybe... ;)

    Brought mine in the heat, it is charging finally & not kicking back out, will see how it works afterwards. But like you said, when you need it to work this will likely be just as dead as the batteries.

    Most trucks need boosting when it is very cold outside. So I wouldn't bet any money on this working at all. Like you said, when it is warm, and you left your lights on by accident, maybe... :biggrin_1square11:
