Wow, the Antigravity XP-1 seemed to have a lot of hype around them, and have some bold claims. I did highly consider getting one, and didn't think it would fail so hard! Glad to hear at least the XP-10 is working well for you.
I use a NOCO Genius GB40 Boost+ that I bought from Canadian Tire on sale a while back. I leave it in the Porsche since it doesn't get drive very often, and the odd time, may need to jump start it when I lived in a condo. I've owned mine for a year and a half and have only charged it maybe once or twice. I've managed to help a few colleagues at work jump start their vehicles either from dead alternators or dead batteries. Edit: I should add that the boost function is a life saver. Try to get a battery pack that offers this option.
I'd say there are cheaper (and even better!) alternatives, but I haven't had to explore them yet. I'll keep my eyes peeled on this thread.
