Does anybody use them and where would I find one for my sportsman?

 

Yah...just got a tiny one with like 225cca for a honda generator....guess you can mount them any way upsidedown..what ever...also less efected by temp...like $90 at a batteries plus store....

 

I assume that in USA you can buy a Jump Start almost at a drug store but for sure at your Auto Parts store

these have the big claws on them to jump start car when battery flat and normally say 400 Amps Cold Crank

well they have a gel battery inside and because of fierce competition we can buy the whole deal of jump starter with even the volt meter on front for $40 [ie $30 american] whereas to buy battery separate is $60

 

I cant believe you guys dont have the Auto Cheap stores with dirt cheap made in china prices - after all you guys INVENTED globalization with them little chinese getting a dollar a day

$90 for what sounds like the 6 AmpHour type is extortion

the one in the jump starters is normally 12 AHours but there is a bigger one at 800 CCA which is 17AHours [at 20 degrees]

 

The geni is used in movie production....cost($90) is not as big a factor.....the geni is about $7000......+ or -

besides time = money could not afford to dic around at that moment... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]


I get what you are saying ..and will be tearing one apart to check it out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

OK the point was for ATV use just get a jump starter and if you like just strap it as is to rear luggage rack and use the clamps to connect to terminal leads on ATV

but if you want to actually put it in carrier in place of normal battery then it is cheaper to buy the whole lot and chuck the casing etc away than just the nude battery [dont shoot the messenger like]

also a battery as you describe sounds a little light in AmpHours for ATV use, meaning 2 starts and its cactus AND may have trouble accepting charge from alternator so I would recommend using at least the 12AmpHour model [or be sure your pull start works OK]

for mine I have a jump starter in parallel with normal battery so I can run my light and amplifier etc while I fish or BBQ and still be sure of having 12V left to start when the crocs start to appear

 

Oh yeah - see the blue ice box with The Doctor on it in my aviator thingo?

well jump starter sits in there next to beer
