Pocket jump starter

Recommended Posts

I went for a short scoot today on the 950, Laguna, Julian, Boulder Creek, Descanso and home. Sunrise & 79 there was a harley rider with a dead battery and needed a jump. I did not have my mini cables. 

I have been looking at those mini jump starter lithium thingys. Has anyone tried them? Would have been nice to have one to test on a high compression HD.

I have the XP-5 and have started mine and one other Harley with it. My dad bought one and started his V6 Toyota without issue.

I hardwired the pigtail on my DR650 and just store it under the side panel.

I have one, not sure of the brand, I've used it a few times, including to start my diesel tractor recently.

I have a cheap chinese one, don't know the brand.  Lightening bolts painted all over it so it must be good.

I charge it and then keep it in the briefcase or drawer or on the bike for months a time.  So when I need to use it, it's usually down to 10 or 20% of its charge.  Almost dead... it started my bike twice, my Tahoe 3 or 4 times, the Benz once.  My iPad and phone a hundred times.

A few weeks ago on a winter DV ride, my phone/GPS couldn't handle the cold temps.  So I put the phone in my right pocket and Battery in my left and ran a cord.  Charged up the phone. Then I put the phone back on the handlebar so I could watch the map, leaving the battery in my pocket but plugged in.  Phone worked all the way home in spite of the cold.

They are awesome.  Even the sh*tty one I have.  I think it's almost 4 years old now.
