Can anyone give me a jump? [all good now, thanks]

Came back from a weeklong trip and my car is dead this morning. Can anyone give me a jump? I am only a few miles from the makerspace. I have been trying to call my mother for an hour but she’s not answering and she’s the only one I know anywhere nearby.

I highly recommend getting one of those battery jump packs.

The newer ones are based in lithium technology. They are much smaller and can charge your mobile phone as well.

I agree. Those are great. Helped me keep things charged during the great freeze too.

The battery likely needs to be replaced. Sitting for a week shouldn’t be a problem unless something was left on like a dome light. The portable jump batteries can be useful but they’re not a replacement for a reliable car battery.

Nah I diagnosed it as dumbass left the light on at 5am while looking for something before I caught my Uber
