the one I have has a little test button on it so you know when to jump it...
price..all depends on what you have on it.....the one my dad has...has a power inverter....cigarette lighter plug in...and a bunch of other stuff....
for the most part I think they are all about the same....
And yes they are just as easy as the traditional way..if not easier..
plus you don't have to wait..or go through the hassle/embarassment of getting some help
just pop the hood..hook up the cables and turn the key...and badda bing....your all set......
I HIGHLY recommend one of these...

If your alternator ever decides to go south, you can use it to power the car to your nearest mechanic or back home. Ask me how I know this?

Curt if you could find out the prices and possibly specs for me that'd be great. Tony, I couldn't find any at JcWhitney web site for $69. The closest one is $79, it's the red one with 300 cranking amps?

The're great! I work for the company who manufactures the "Booster Pac" brand. They contain either one or two 17 amp hour sealed lead/acid batteries. All have a cig plug too power any 12 volt accesory. A row of led's to show state of charge. Cables to connect to your car (be safe and make the last ground connection to a grounded bracket away from the battery to avoid any sparks by the battery). We have one with an inverter which has 120 volt AC receptacle. Will power (3) 100 watt bulbs or equal. Usually come with 1 amp charger, could take two days to recharge from dead. Or plug into car cig lighter plug and recharge while driving.

I like the ones with an on/off switch. The ones without can cause a spark when you connect it to the battery. This can be dangerous.
