[quote]ORIGINAL: Mode One

Portable would be fine, if that was what Swixtt was asking about! However, it ain't and your telling him he's got to go out a dump another $100.00 on something he already has a fix for!

Indeed I do respectfully disagree his question was completely answered many times earlier in the thread before I or the other gentleman posted. It is entirely appropriate to post other methods at that point and most important especially in the beginners forum to warn of the dangers of that product with a history of dangers on several levels.

I am not telling him "he's got to go out and dump another $100" What I am indeed saying is Pointing out the dangers of this device (important thing in a beginners context) and the fact that the power panel is an unessasary expendature in virtually every case for beginners. Even a simple starter with aligator clips directly attached to exposed Battery terminals is preferrable to a panel!
