Automotive portable battery/compressor recommendations

[Innovate1]

Have had several of these over the years. Useful for starting the riding lawn mower when it's dead or pumping up a time without lugging out bigger equipment. Have gotten them from Sams Club as I recall. They last a few years. Any recommendations on these that might last a little longer? I suppose I could try to replace the battery in the one I have as all the functions still work (a previous one had the compressor die before the battery) Something similar to this but don't need the USB or inverter.

Does your tool platform offer a more robust product? $$

I have a Fatmax here also. The battery isn't strong enough to jump start anything anymore. I haven't convinced myself to replace the battery yet. I got more use out of the compressor than the jump portion. The lithium ones I have are nice but that compressor has come in handy late at night.

Not sure what you mean by "tool platform". I have shelves. Seriously, now that I think about it I realized you probably mean my main brand of tools. I have some Ryobi 40V lawn stuff. Have a few older Porter Cable 18V tools so they aren't current. Didn't see any jump starters that were Ryobi 40V compatible but just did a quick search.

Get a 12 volt car battery and set of jumper cables…….. Buy a battery maintainer to keep it charged.
I have a NOCO portable jump starter (MEH) but the "time tested and proven" battery and cables work great.

The the commercial shop we're using a few 750A "Eliminator" lithium boosters from Canadian Tire. Honestly we didn't think they'd work so we just bought the one at first but very rarely can that little box not get even V8's started in the winter. We had several SLA boosters over the last 10 years and they all die in a year or two. Even the Snap-On jump box needed batteries almost annually. I see the Canadian Tire booster / compressor now sports an AGM battery so that should last longer than the lead acid ones of the past. But for my money I'd split the two problems; Get a small lithium booster, and an air pig for flats.
