Default Jump Box

Sup fellas!

looking to get information on what jump boxes you guys are using for your SD?

Currently own a ‘16 Gas SD with about 23k miles and while on a job site yesterday, I left my flashers on for 30 minutes and it killed my truck battery. I did have my 16’ trailer attached, and all the lighting on the trailer (turn, brake, etc) is LED. So I’m not sure wtf happened!
Got it jump started and off I went to advance auto. Their battery test showed I had 550 amps on battery and its rated to 660 🤷*♂️..

with that hat being said, I think I want to get a jump box so I don’t get caught off guard again. But Christ, amazon has like 1000 of them.
Which is a good one to get? I have noticed that a lot of them show that they are rated to jump (5l Diesel, 7l gas) etc etc so I’m ke I need one rated for minimum 6.2l.

I can't help you with the booster box but have you considered adding a second battery? The peace of mind is nice.
