Default Battery jumper!

Can anyone tell me their suggestions on the best portable battery jumper for an ATV. I would like to carry it on the ATV so it should be small.

Here's several compact ones you can look at. Not cheap,but worth a look. Car Starter: Top 7 Compact Battery Jump Starters 2014 Plus several on ebay that are a little cheaper,but larger.We used one like this at the shop. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-v-Battery-Jump-Starter-Marine-Boat-Car-Auto-Power-Supply-Truck-ATV-Motorcycle-/120993037372?pt=US_Hand_Tools&hash=item1c2bbf3c3c

This back up starter did the trick for me a few times when I left my key on and killed the battery.
One pull and then the ATV recharges the battery after a 10 minute ride and its very easy to carry, you don't even notice its there.

Another one if you do not ride alone is small miniature jumper cables (Not car size) and just jump start off another ATV. They whined up and fit under the seat.

I pull started mine all winter (last year?) because I had a loose battery cable. I could have sworn I checked it but apparently didn't. Every ATV should have a pull starter unless it's too hard to pull. I'm thinking a 1000cc might be too much to pull start.

The MV7 700 was tough on pull starting. Can't imagine pull starting anything larger. Pity Polaris did away with recoil starts in 2009 on the 500. I'm like every one else that at least all mid bore machines should have one,but sometimes not feasible with machines that have starter clutch type systems.

My 500 is way easier to pull over then my 350. That's due to the 500 having a auto decompression system and the Yamaha 350 does not. Even my 250 Moto4 was harder to pull over then the 500.

At a certain cc a kick starter would be needed not a pull type.
