Is there a way to test car battery booster packs?
I've got two, both 4 years old or older, and even after having them hooked up all night, have trouble/can't jump start a 6 cylinder Ford. Is the car too dead? Or can the battery packs loose carrying capacity after awhile?
Thanks in advance for your input.

fully charge the boost pack and bring it in to have it load tested. They can be tested like any other battery. And yes, the gel cell pack can become defective. It would be a good idea to charge the battery over night, out of the car, and bring that one in as well for testing.

to test your car's battery just take it to your local auto parts store.. they canl oad test the battery and also test your alternator. either your battery or the alternator is your problem. battery is easier and cheaper to fix.. but replacing an alternator is not brain surgery either.
