I (very occasionally) drive our Honda hybrid.
It gets very little use (9,000km in 5 years!) and is often unused for weeks at a time.
Not surprisingly, the starter battery often goes flat (5 AA flat battery call-outs in the last year, despite a new heavy-duty battery).
I don't blame the car - it isn't being used normally.
A PowerAll would be ideal, instead of bothering the AA.

Yay! Another Fathers Day gift to go for.
My old Mitsi has no warning if the lights are left on so it happens sometimes.
I carry jump leads but it can be a hassle finding someone to jump off.
They are all worried you will blow their electrics on their flash cars.
I am often away from civilisation too which adds another level of complication too!

The worst thing is to get a flat battery in the boat. Usually I try and look for a sloping lake or a steeper bit of sea in case we need to roll start it. I've been thinking of getting a jump start pack to give to my father as he's getting too old to push start boats. This will be the perfect gift for my father on father's day, and I will once again regain my crown as favoured son.
Thanks Geekzone.
