If you are talking about new breed of cars I don't like boosting them, If a charger is not available I use another car to charge the battery enough so it can start the car. Also if the battery is weak enough to die cause it is cold out then I would replace the battery since a weak battery not only leaves you stranded but it makes the alternator to work harder than it should. If you are talking about a G body then any booster pack 700a and higher would work. There are different brands but they are almost identical except for the box they are in. I had a high end one that had some circuit die so I took the battery and the leads out and charge it like any other battery with a charger.

I've been interested in that type of booster and you are the first I have seen to comment on one who wasn't trying to sell it. Now the bad part, on Amazon.ca it's $288

One of my buddys has a little booster like that, it works great and I believe it was only $80 at the local part store. I'll try and find out the brand.
