antigravity XP-10 is great! I have one, and we use them at work a lot. They are killer, and will jump off a fire truck (seriously....it will)! Super impressed.

Thank you all for your input - although I all that I've gathered is that there is no clear leader when factoring in cost. I'll probably go NoCo, AntiGravity, or the Amazon Cheapy that @codertimt suggested. I did a little more research though and I've come across the below Stanley J5C09 jump box-compressor combo, which is appealing since I also need a compressor (I also posted a compressor question yesterday over on the General Tech forum). I'm not sure what spec to look at to determine this - Can anyone tell if the compressor in the Stanley J5CO9 is on par with those that link directly to the battery or is it weaker like a 12V outlet compressor? What specification do you look for to determine this?

Other than weight/bulk, is there any disadvantage to either style? For me it's either a Li-Ion Mini-Pack and the Viair 88P/Masterflow-1050 compressor or this semi-old school Stanley 1000 combo pack. Thoughts?

Either way though - I really appreciate all of the input.
I found that in winter in Southern California, they will drop 5-10% or so over the course of a month. Night time temps were around 30. This was in relation to my 2m/70cm HT, Delorme Sat Com, and Portable jump pack. All have Li-ions or Lipos. I have not looked into it with the hotter temps, so I am not sure how it scales.
I bought a bunch for x-mas for my family. I haven't used mine to jump a car but have used it a few times to charge my phone when I didn't have another source.

I am not sure how the Stanley pack is, but I have a Viair88P and that little sucker works really well for its size and price. I was pretty impressed. It is no ARB compressor, but will kick the pants off of the little cigarette lighter ones.
I used to use my knockoffs to start the genny on my toy hauler before I replaced the battery. Then one trip my Ford 7.3 batteries went dead. I hooked up the pack and after about 5 minutes it actually started it. I'm impressed.
Sent in the battery a week ago, and had a new one in the mail yesterday. Not sure if new or refurbed, but pretty fast turnaround from Anitgravity warranty service. No bulge in the new case!
I just bought the XP-1 on Amazon. Sold by Antigravity Batteries, fulfilled by Amazon. Came factory shrink-wrapped.

Careful with that... "by Antigravity Batteries" does not necessarily mean it is sold be Antigravity. It may or it may not, I don't know. I think that is just a matter of how the seller fills in the boxes.
Here's another amazon seller... look closer and the seller is BESTSELLER21. After that email reply I received in post #31, I asked Antigravity which Amazon sellers were authorized. I didn't receive a response after that.

When I did my research, Antigravity was on top of my wishlist, but there were so many reports of Amazon 3rd party sellers selling counterfeit ones. At the same time Amazon was offering a good coupon on Battery Tender Lithium Jump Starter, so I ended up with the Battery Tender. Maybe not so fancy as the Antigravity, but it jumps a cold V8 no problem and it's much cheaper, and sold by Amazon directly I had no worry about counterfeit. Also, I had good experience with other Battery Tender products. Just my 2c.
