FYI this info may be of benefit to others having start problems on the road or in remote area and is for all not just the OP situation.
In recent years I have used this small but powerful lithium power brick/booster to jump start my V-8 Ram trucks more than a few times when having electrical start problems and a dead battery. They instantly start the truck and will fit in the glove compartment or backpack and weigh almost nothing. Actually have a larger other brand for the other truck. They both hold 100% charge for a long time even after use and have a USB port to charge laptops and phones. Can charge them with a truck DC outlet/adapter that comes with them. Bought the Type S on sale at Costco for $50.00. Just for backup I carry standard jumper cables as I have plenty of room. Very cheap insurance for many years of use in remote areas with no help available. Cheers
