I'm starting to plan my off-roading recovery kit, and wondering if a dead battery is something I need to factor in?
I've not gone off-roading in many years... and in the last 20 years, I've never had a battery drain issue as all my recent vehicles have auto headlights and shut down all electrical systems after about 15 minutes so there's no parasitic drain. Basically, a dead battery is a thing of the past as far as I can see.
Is a dead battery a thing of the past, even for off-roading?
What do you carry for battery boosting? Nothing? Jumper cables? A battery booster pack?
Note I'm not needing to power a fridge or camping gear, I'm just planning on wheeling day trips.
