As far as jumper packs go, I have this cheaper one that I bought at O'Reilly the day I got my X5 (since the @$$ hat previous owner gave it to me with a dead battery). It's shockingly good, though... I've never completely drained the battery before and I've used it a LOT, and it holds a charge on the internal battery for ages. Very pleasantly surprised for the price.

I have the same jump pack. It works well, except when the battery is really down. Down like you have, below 11 volts. It just doesn't have enough power to fire it up. If I had it to do again, I'd buy one with higher cranking amps. This one only has 600. I think there are higher available.
