Default s2000 compact jumper cables?

My battery died on me the other day since I left my lights on. It's been running ok for the last few days, but I'm a little afraid. Is there a good COMPACT set of jumper cables that will fit in the jacking tool panel of the s2k?

The battery is probably fine. Your best bet for cables is to shop around locally.

Since batteries are under the hood, post this in "Under the Hood" next time.

If you cant find ones that are compact enough for your liking, i'm sure a standard set would fit nicely in the spare tire.

Same here. I keep mine in the spare wrapped in a towel for silence. That and a slime/compressor kit.

Why do you need jumper cables? What's wrong with push starting if your battery dies?

^Try it when youre by yourself in a parking structure....bad times for me indeed (plus it was a 5K lb 75 pickuptruck...x_x).

Spare tire/tool tray works for me.

I have a normal set wrapped in a towel inside the spare tire.

I've got a set tucked away behind the fuel filler pipes, along with a tire patch kit and mini compressor.
