So? I never completely described the issues pertaining to this query.

 

I have a 3000 BT7 and good 775 CCA battery. My car is hard to start in the 
winter, despite being housed in my garage, because I drive it infrequently. 
Yes, I know? just drive it more often!

 

When starting it in the winter, the battery starts to give out, but not 
completely (yet) before starting the car. I suspect it is due to fuel 
degradation even though I add Stable to the petrol. I would like to get a 
portable jump starter for extra starting power instead of jumping from my daily 
driver. Been checking the list recommendations and some have a cranking rating 
but most do not.

The one thing that noone?s mentioned so far is putting in a modern starter 
motor. That won?t clean up the contacts in the wiring system, but it will 
certainly make the best use of your amps.

Plainly not to everyone?s taste. Visually not obtrusive, but audibly a bit off.

Does create space for a bigger oil filter if you?ve got a conversion that comes 
straight off the block?..
