So you take the jumper battery out about 3 times a year and charge it overnight. Big deal. They don't "slowly lose their charge", unless you're talking about a LONG time.
Plus, they simply work better than jumper cables. Lots more convenient, too.</end quote></div>
Depends on what you mean. I've never had jumper cables fail to work, so I'm not sure that I'd say it works "better". Jumper cables also take up zero trunk space (they can fit inside the spare wheel) and weigh a lot less. Overall I'd rather have the jumper cables.
I'll agree though that the portable battery units can be more convenient if you're in an out-of-the-way area and don't have anyone around.

I like it better even when I'm jumping other people's cars since I don't have to do the car dance trying to get the cars close enough.
I have both, an old set of jumper cables and a batttery unit.
