I realize this topic has been discussed before but I wanted to find out if there's anything new in the area of a portable 12V jump starter to keep handy just in case the Tesla 12V battery dies. For a Tesla with a dead 12V battery, how many Amps/Peak Amps should the jump starter battery output?
Has anyone found one with the following features?
What's the best place in the car to keep this battery so I can get to it even if the 12V battery is completely dead? Would the frunk be the best place to store it as there is a manual pull cable to open the frunk?
Has anyone found one with the following features?
- Battery has a long shelf life so I can keep it in the car for months at a time and not worry about if it has a sufficient level of charge.
- What type of battery chemistry should I look for?
- Would like the battery to be powerful enough to jump start an ICE SUV or car just so I have the option of helping out someone in an ICE who is stranded with a dead battery.
- Would be great if it had a USB output for emergency power.
- Smaller and lighter the better (while still being able to jump start a Tesla or ICE SUV)
