Jumper cables? Nah....there is a newer better solution.

I’ve had two of these helpstarters, works like a champ. The first one I had (which ended up in the water while it was laying on the floor of the wifes convertible) was a 700 amp and I was able to start my Dakota 5.2 6 times without recharge when the battery failed. I did buy this Noco 1000 amp, works just as great.
