Don't know if you want/need any other features, but I have the Stanley FatMax 1400 amp jump box. Not only is it one of the most powerful on the market, it has an on-demand air compressor that will generate 125psi, a light, 2 USB charging ports, a 500w inverter with 2 x 120v AC power outlets and a cigarette lighter outlet. I've used mine for running light strings while camping, charging phones, blowing up air mattresses, etc. Works great. To charge, just plug it into the wall.

The Antigravity ones seem to be pretty awesome for how small they are. I have a older one, it will start a Chevy 350 7 times in a row without the battery connected and still have over half charge. Pretty amazing. Have had it for 3 years now, still going strong.

Keith. How is the over all size of the Stanley? I really want something that I can fit in my ACR express safety bag. The bag carries all my safety equipment and I can just throw it in the boat and go . I do like multiple accessories of the Stanley .

It's fairly big. I'd say 6" tall, about 14" wide and 10" deep or so. I've had no issues with it thus far.

The model I mentioned does not appear to be on that list.

I have a Snap-On jump box. In fact it used to be the only model we used at the marina I work at - and we tried them all. (We have four like mine.) Lately though, a couple of our service guys have started using some of the new Lithium Ion (I think Snap-On calls theirs Lithium Eon) models and I have to tell you, they're pretty impressive. Very, very small and powerful as hell. When mine dies, that's probably what I'll go with.

Interstate Batteries made one with a replaceable battery.

I'm in the towing business and went lithium ion this year, got tired of dragging around 35lb packs. I have a NOCO GB150 and a Snap On and they both have worked well. We stared a 6.0 powerstroke with the GB150 in single digit temps. The Snap On does not claim the same amount of power but it has started everything we have asked it to. The NOCO was about $300 and the Snap ON was about $250. I did a lot of research and came to the conclusion that they all exaggerate the output. IMO the cables are not thick enough to ever allow the output some claim. I do like the NOCO better because it has more features and longer cables. Hope this helps.
