6 Volt jump starter

From what I've read on various forums on various sites, there does not seem to be much in the line of a 6 volt jump box for starting a 6 volt car with a dead battery. I also see that you can use a 12 volt battery to jump a 6 volt car if your careful as outlined in many posts. Although, I might be worried about things like 6 volt fuel pumps, or say a 6 volt pertronix ignition.

I wonder,  if there was a 6 volt jump starter available...say using a lithium ion battery, with a port to charge a cell phone or two, would anyone be interested? I know these are becoming popular in 12 volt models, since they are so small and convenient.

If you know where to get one, let me know. I would like to keep one with me in my travels.

Thanks for you thoughts.

If you frequently need to jump start your car why not find and fix the problem? If you need a new battery in my opinion it would be wise to buy one as opposed to buying a 6 volt jump starter. If your charging system is not working why not spend the money to fix it?

Well, it's more that sometimes, i'll do something dumb like leave the headlights on.  Battery is good, charges as it should.   Thanks

   Hahaha, in those rare events, just push start it. A few of those and you'll remember to turn the lights off!
