As most fuel injected bikes (like mine) are extremely difficult to start with a completely dead battery, cables are ok when near habitation and you can get a jump from another vehicle However, when you are in the middle of nowhere that is not an option. Resultantly, as I often camp in isolated rural locations, I carry a lightweight pair of cables and a jumper pack. The pack is no more than 1 lb (0.5 kg) in weight. The jumper pack I can also use to recharge anything with a USB charging cable.
