I drove a 98 Malibu that had the alternator go on it and I got stranded about 3 miles from home. I had my father-in-law pick me up and I went home to get the jumper. Hooked it up, car cranked right up. But the battery had been so drained that by the time I jumped in the car and took off, I got about a quarter mile before it died. So I did what any self respecting gearhead does. "Call AAA?" - Hell No.. I hooked up the cabled again, lay the jumper down on top of the air box and closed the hood as much as possible and drove the car home the rest of the way. Even had enough to juice to turn the car around in the driveway, and back it into the garage. Also used it one day when I left my glovebox open in my BMW and had a flight to catch. I just jumped it with the device, threw it in the back seat and took off.. A week later when I came back from my business trip, I didn't even need it to jump start the car in long term parking.
