Dave, that is the pack I use. The one actually has a tire pump as well. I bought it for emergency power and have used it more often than I thought would be needed. This past Master's Golf Tournament week I used it to jump off no less than 6 cars without needing to charge the battery. There is a door for the air hose to come out which will be a good place to house an extension with Andersons on it. I haven't done it yet, but I might. Since I have an abundance of vehicle batteries and a good Deep-cycle battery, I have been setting up to use them as primary backups. I am running an IC-706 MK II which isn't the most portable-battery friendly rig. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
