Generally, I pop them out and get new

Now days, I try and buy only alkalines,

"Dead" (as in unable to accept a charge)? Or, just "flat"
(needing a charge)?

If the battery booster is dead, I recommend you use a battery booster

I mean car a battery. I have a cheap charger, but that thing seems to
not work very well. I was checking battery boosters and chargers and
see that the tech has improved drastically from a large wheeled box to
a small lithium box you can carry around in the glove box.

If the booster booster is weak, use a booster booster with higher
Amps. Boost it up a notch.

I've found in general there are three kinds of
booster.

One, I'd call a charger. Plugs into extension
cord, and changes 110 VAC to 12 VDC. Those
range from float chargers to wheeled charger
and booster.

Second, commonly called jumper cables. These
use a running vehicle to provide battery power
to a vehicle with low or dead battery.

Third is what I personally call a booster. Has
a battery of its own. Clips to the car battery.
The internal battery needs to be charged between
uses (and on occasion as they go dead from the
passage of time).

That said, I've tried three battery boosters. One
from Harbor Freight didn't work, and got returned.
One from BJ's Wholesale Club had a battery that
went dead, and I was able to buy another battery.
Years later, a third battery.

The more expensive (About $100) from Napa booster
pack is on its first battery, and should still work
fine.

As to the lithium cell boosters, I've never used one,
and can't comment on them.

I just keep a good set of LONG jumpers in the car. If I have a problem, I hook
them up to my battery and look at passing cars with my thumb out hitchhiker
style. Of course, you can probably buy a new battery cheaper than one of those
gadgets.

If batteries going dead, because of lights left on, or drain from
alarms, or playing the radio, is an ongoing probelm, I'd recommend
Priority Start. It's 80 dollars or so, but I expect I'll never have
a problem again. I'll take out of each old car and put it into each
new car.

http://www.prioritystart.com/
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030A10V0/...l_8qqp55cqxk_b

Also comes in 24 volt and in marine style.

It disconnects the battery before the battery is so weak it can't
start the car. No need to open the hood to reconnect, just put your
foot on the brake.

I've had mine for 3 years.

And they make or made battery cables with a warning if they were
connected backwards. In 50 years, and a couple hundred jumps, I only
did that once and didn't do any damage.

I carry jumper cables in both vehicles, and
use them now and again. Maybe three or four
times a year. Maybe not that often. As to
dangerous, one needs to follow the directions

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...
