I carry 2 of the small lithium battery jumper packs. On my 06 GMC, the batteries died when my wife had the truck. I was in the midst of a breakdown repair at work so couldn't leave right away, so she called CAA. The repair didn't take as long as I thought and I arrived 2 minutes after the CAA booster service. His booster pack wouldn't start the Duramax, so I put my big old booster pack on the second truck battery and it started right up.
This experience caused her to want to carry booster batteries for our travels. A major Canadian retailer suggests that their battery packs can start up a 6 liter diesel, so using that and my experience, I opted for 2 of the larger sized lithium packs from Amazon.
So far I have not had to boost my truck. But the lawn tractor, the Honda scooter and somebody elses' truck in a campground in Newfoundland have all been easy starts for just one of the packs.
