| Another very good source of flight line power is the new "jump start" type battery jumpers. These things have plenty of power to start anything! They can be picked up for from between $30 and $100.
I have been using one exclusively for two years now and I cannot do without it. Mine has 1000 cranking amps and can start a large truck. I charge it with a supplied wall pack overnight and use it for my field chargers, starter and my vehicle at the end of the day once I have left the hatch open and the radio on! The charge usually will last for a month or two.
One thing to look for as a feature is the cigarette lighter type connections, mine has two on the front. I just put heavy duty cigarette lighter connectors on my starter and field chargers and plug 'em in. That way I do not have to undo the heavy cables!
Hope this helps!
