I've also had the inverter pulling juice all night without a problem (should I not do that?). How much more would you accidentally leave on overnight when you're out on the trail, or anywhere else for that matter? Maybe I take it for granted.

So, no experience trying to jump or charge one, but I've probably just jinxed myself and you can find out how hard it is by coming on the next run with us.

For the blue top there is a 36 month warranty (18 mo full replacement, 18 mo pro-rated). The red top carries a 72 month warranty (36 mo full replacement, 36 mo pro-rated).
