That is a powerful model. Going to consider, was looking at Noco GB50

I keep it in a NOCO case that just sits on the floor of the frunk. It would probably fit in one of the pockets easily if I didn't have the storage case as well.

How long do the NOCO jump starters hold a charge when stored in the trunk?

I have a GBX45 in my wife's Outback that has been there for over a year and still shows full charge. I check it every couple months. The Outback is parked outside year round on the driveway vs the C8 in the garage.

They're OK as long as they are not made by Tesla.

So you're saying you don't have a cell phone that you keep in your pocket all the time? Or a smart watch on your wrist?

Typically a fire happens while charging or getting physically damaged by impact. No worries.
