Forget the jumper cables. Buy a jumper box with a lithium battery. Jumper cables are cheaper.

a set of 2 ga. will jump any vehicle on the road including a semi, let the dead battery charge at least 5 mins. before trying to crank it over, 10 min. if it won't even make noise when key turned.

At Grayson County Community College or at MIT? The more expensive cables require MIT.

Buy her a car with a manual transmission and teach her to pop that clutch.

Mine are made from T-33 aircraft battery cable 4 ga. stranded wire. We all made sets of these for our cars back in the day, in our slack time in the avionics shop. Mine are 20' long and have lasted me 46 years.

I appreciate all of the jumper cable input. Jumper boxes have come a long way in capability, size and cost. Daughter safety at college can be a whole discussion on its own.

I’m really disappointed in you. I figured with a name like PowerLizard that you would not need to ask anything about power, or jumper cables or whatnot. I would have expected more power knowledge from you. From here on out, I consider you to be a standard lizard.

Access with jumper cables can be a major problem when you are by yourself. Many of the college parking lots and parking garages have your car so surrounded it is not accessible without moving vehicles. Jumper cables are fine, but a jump box is the answer for a single college girl. That's when you need a set like I have. Made from 2 AWG welding cable, 30 feet long. I can pull up behind a crew cab pickup and still reach the battery with no problem. Heavy, but never fail.

I have a 20' or so set from the same, leads got messed up on a job so 3-4 of us made jumpers when they trashed them. probably 30 yrs. on mine.
