Jumpstarter and power supply

I like to carry one of these style jump starters/air compressor/power supply with us especially when we boondock. It's nice to know if our battery gets low I can still run my CPAP another night off one of these, and they are always good to have if you need a jump start or have to top off your tire pressure.
While not the same one I have, I noticed WalMart has these on sale for $50 starting today. This one actually seems a little better than mine, since it also has a USB port.
You can even recharge it while you drive around if it needs charging.

I have the Sears Craftsman version of one of these and I have had it for about 4 years. I recently put a new battery in it. Once a month I charge it up as per the instructions. I highly recommend the monthly charge as it will keep your battery in good shape. Very handy item to have if you take care of it.

Hey Haggy!! Good info!

Here's one thing for others to look at. It appears they have a "bonus" going with that deal right now on Walmart's site. Might be worth checking out if someone is about to order....

Hey Darral,
That's a pretty good bonus. Looks like they give you a list of 7 bonuses you can choose from for either "free" or a dollar.
