Does your jump box have something like the switch on this one? Having the switch seems a good idea.

What Make/Model is yours, if it's close by?

This one has 4 gauge wire, comments anyone?

Main comment - this, again, is a 12 volt jump box. Not ideal for 6 volt.

Again, of all of the times I've had to start my car with a dead battery, 90% of the time it's by a quick push - not a jump. As others have said, battery jump is a last resort when pushing just won't do.
