My #2 son gave me one of the compact lithium ion battery jumpers/chargers after I complained of loosing out on two cruises on my new boat due go low battery chargelast summer. It's rated at 700 amps and supposedly will jump start a 5 liter gasoline engine. Seems small for that but time will tell.



Don: do you have a battery on/off switch on that new boat? If the
battery is charged up before you put it away by the engine's alternator,
it should remain charged for weeks. My Parker boat outboards did...I
just remembered to shut all electrical power off via the battery
switches. I'd also drag the boats home from the marina yard every few
weeks for maintenance and if I remembered, I'd toss the batteries on the
charger.
