Terri,

Danny beat me to the punch, but I also think  that a jump start type thing 
would be perfect for you.   He gave a great description and I won't rehash 
it.  I have 2, one has a 10 ah and the other a 12 ah battery.  They are the 
size of a lunch pail and weigh around 8 or 10 pounds.    Self contained, 
portable,  no worry about fumes or leaking acid.    Keep it charged and in a 
closet or under the desk and it will be ready when the big one hits

73, Steve KW3A
