Just as an aside, I have successfully jumpstarted my jeep with one 12 volt
battery. If your batteries are weak but not dead, give it a try!

When I first owned the jeep I had a slow drain on the battery and two cars. It
was *almost* worth having the batteries go dead just to see the look on
peoples faced when I hooked both cars up to the jeep. I think some people
expected it to blow up.
