It worked!

 

That goofy little jumper battery we bought.  The one that fits in the palm of a hand.

 

With little, almost pretend, jumper cables…

 

…that plug into it.

 

We bought it a year ago.  It doesn’t look like it could really do anything so we didn’t actually know if we could trust it to be there when we needed it.

 

Well, we came home after 7 months on the road and the battery for the Mazda was totally flat.  It wouldn’t even light a warning light.  I popped the hood, attached this jumper battery, and the car fired right up without hesitation.  Not only did the jumper battery work, it worked better than any other jumper battery we ever had!  It even worked better than jumping it with another car and cables!  And it’s good for multiple jumps before it needs recharging.

 

Amazing.  That is so handy.  We are skeptics no more.

 

Oh.  And there is a cord concealed in the side you can pop out and recharge your phone with too if you need it.
