12v jump start to power Brake Buddy?

Anyone using one of the jump start booster packs to power there Break Buddy type toad breaking system?? My car has to have the battery disconnect and I was think maybe one of these units would power it. If you are using one how long is the battery live between charges? How many days can you travel without recharging?

  • Those Jump Start Packs are Ok for about 3 Attemps at starting, but offer poor battery life over an extended period of time.

    I have one but I wouldn't buy another!
  • Just run 12 volts direct from batt tothe BB. I have a seperate plug just for the BB under the dash. Supplied by BB.
