The jumpstarter was purchased when the 9-5 kept dying on me several years back, and was requiring jumps from friends. It turns out the battery cable was going bad, although visually it looked fine. The 9-5 also chews through batteries - I go through about one every two years. When SAAB went from the 9000 to the 9-5, they moved the location of the battery, such that it gets less ventilation and the battery runs hotter - never a good thing. I remember reading some posts a few years back about someone attempting to improve venting to the area.
