What do you recomend for a dead batery booster?

A good heavy set of booster cables in the trunk. The modern ones
are pretty small. I've made some from welding cable and heavy duty clamps.
Those are for work use.

I used welding cable (fine strands), large clamps (the sort that have jaws
that pivot to expose the "clip on prongs" for batteries with those "top
mount" cables) and then ran the mess through some 1" metal braid to
keep the two conductors side-by-side for their entire length. Heavy
but the added length and quality has lasted me some 40 years...

I bought one of these from Amazon.

over the others.
