Hi - we have two cars. I have (embarrassingly) occasionally left the lights on my car, leading to a flat battery. The other car has not been started for over two months and didn't really have enough juice in the battery to start the other say.

I have a borrowed set of jump leads that have been used successfully to sort that issue as well as a borrowed charger that has topped up my car overnight. The two items need to be returned so I'm trying to work out the best thing to buy in case of a similar issue.

A charger is less than ideal as the vehicles are parked in a communal car park away from the house. I like the simplicity of a set of jump leads but there is a remote possibility both vehicles "could" have flat batteries at the same time. I like the idea of one of the lithium jump packs as a self contained device but there are so many to choose from. Vehicles are a 3l petrol and a 1.4l diesel.

What say motors? Cheers :)
 
Just to update I ordered a set of jump leads in the end. I may at some point also get a charger but will stick with the leads for the time being. Cheers for the responses :)
