Jump-N-Carry is a great brand. You can visit
http://www.cloreautomotive.com to learn more about the Jump-N-Carry brand and others (Booster PAC and Truck PAC) They are professional units sold to mechanics and are designed specifically for jumpstarting. They are sold generally through Snap-On, Matco, Mac Tools but you should be able to find a website that sells via the internet. The Jump-N-Carry 660 should be able to start the H2 20-30 times on a single charge. If you have any additional questions please ask and I will be happy to answer. Let's just say I'm close to the inventor of this product.

The jump and carry is a very excellent product. We have 3 of them in my shop. The only problem (and it's happened to EVERY one of them) is the receptacle where you plug the ac adapter into breaks and when you think it's charging, it's not.
On two of the models, we were able to take the cover off and fix it enough to work. On the 5000 model, we just have to wrap the cord over and under the bottom to "pull down" on the plug.
Other than that, they're an excellent product. The latest one we purchased was a different brand just to try something different. (much more expensive... jury is still out so far)

PS. In all fairness, this is under day in, day out use. Batteries in bodyshops don't last long... I'm sure they take much more abuse than even in a service dept.
