Battery went dead again in my 2001 Jeep Cherokee. I use a small inverter to charge my Palm Pre and forgot to unplug the unit before heading in to work. Having stayed late at work I lost access to my boss's car. Besides, I'm getting tired of asking for a jump any time the interior lights are left on by accident. So, I hiked across Telegraph Road and picked up a PSX PowerStation Multi Purpose Vehicle Jumpstarter for $65.99 at Costco. Has to be one of the best buys I've made in a while. The battery was completely dead. No clicks. Nothing.Thankfully I didn't slip and fall as I ran back across Telegraph to my dead Cherokee. Mind you, this is a heavy bugger, as any 1000ah battery should be. Got to thinking it might not be charged up from the factory. Hooked up the battery, tried to turn it over and nothing. Helps to read instructions ... so that's what the large dial was on the back was for that said "ON". Tried it again and presto - cranked right up.
