Juno Jumper

This looks pretty cool, but I don't know that I'd spend $100 on it.

That's fairly limiting to me at least. I also have only ever had to jump a car 1 time in however many years of driving.

If they can make a small battery like that to start a car, why can't they make a battery that will be ready when I need my freaking cordless drill? I hate leaving the battery on the charger all the time, but after a day off the charger, it's dead. I've never seen batteries self-drain like that, even when they aren't loaded into a tool.

the cells in your battery are probably nearly dead.

Sounds like you need a new battery. I bought a drill and impact wrench last year and the battery last months.
