The yellow top is supposed to be crank power and cycling - we had them in the 944s and they sat for extended periods of time with no issues. I'm thinking the trickle back to life might have given it a reasonable recharge and it'll hold... at least for a few years. Or, I could get a custom pan welded to hold and then have to buy a replacement.
I bought the jumper on a whim, so I picked something based on cost. It holds a charge well and has never not started something, so I'm okay with it. I'll replace it with something better when needed. Ideally, EGO would make one that accepted our mower/chainsaw battery since it's always charged. They sell a generator now; maybe at some point. This thing is only $1200. A real bargain.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
