So, after a few near misses (note to self: jumper cables unhelpful if there is no other car around to act as a source...), I am about to invest in one of those "instant jumpers" -- you know, the ~$40+ "battery + cables in a cute plastic shell, chargeable from a wall socket" thingys that I can leave in my trunk for a month or so at a time.

But I'm trying to figure out what amperage I need.

I'm in a temperate climate -- runs from ~30f to 90f -- so I don't -think- I need something really heavy...

...but I can't find the specs to crank over my 4-banger!

Anyone have any views?

Thanks

-K
