Thought maybe I'd wake the list up from its nap with a question.
I could use another portable jump pack. Something like this:

I went out the other day to see if my car would start - it wouldn't -
and this topic naturally came to mind. I drive my G20 quite seldom,
since I bike virtually everywhere in the city and don't leave it much
except for trips to Detroit, and besides that I was out of the country
for three weeks. Whereas my Fiat will start up just fine after sitting
all winter, my G20 may have a very small current drain in the radio
circuit that makes the car impossible to start after a few weeks.
I actually have one that I've had for years, but some years ago the
battery apparently died and I don't know how to recharge it or replace
it. Like a lot of things these days, it does not appear to be
user-serviceable.
Any easy way to revive the jump pack I have? I suppose hooking it up to
a trickle charger would work, eh?
Or I could just get a trickle charger for the G20.
Any of these products in particular that y'all find are particularly
good? Repairable is nice. I don't like disposable products.
