I know this all to well. I started riding in the late 70's. Cell phones, what? lol.

 

That’s a good idea. Where would I find it, and what’s it called? Can’t find it on Amazon.

 

I have tools, 12 volt pump, repair items and a home made set of jumper cables.
The home made jumper cables are just trolling motor clamps with some stranded cable. The cables got warm but they worked.
Rolls really small and has been used several times to help others.
My process:
Run good bike with wires connected but dead bike OFF.
Do this for a few minutes in order to introduce a float charge and then turn good bike OFF and crank dead bike with wires still connected.
The starter post and a solid metal piece for ground worked in order to start the harley riders i have assisted.
Note:
Some jump packs require dead battery to have a minimum voltage or they will not activate the jump start procedure.

 

Very good point. The NOCO booster pack in my post has a button on it for that situation, the red circle with the exclamation mark. Press and hold to activate the booster pack if the battery you're boosting is too depleted to activate the booster pack. Handy feature.

 

Amazon is where I got mine for my XP-10 , just look for what's compatible with what brand you are using . Brands website would a good starting point.

 

I think a "Hero" recently found this out.

 

Don't do what this gu gir member did .......

I have one of these too. I got it over a year ago and used it for the first time a couple weeks ago. It started my car up right away.

I'm thinking of getting another so I can always have one for the bike & car but I don't know how the hot & cold temperature would affect these things. Gotta look into that more.

 

Amazon seems to have really good prices on NoCo stuff during Prime Day (today and tomorrow). Didn't dig into pricing as I don't need anything right now, but I do know NoCo is high quality stuff.

 

I have the Audew one, starts my dead diesel and my v10 van no problem. Best invention ever. I'll probably never use cables again. I couldn't believe it a few years ago when a guy pulled over when I got my cables out to jump a stranded car on the side of the road, he said get out of the way, I got it. I kinda chuckled and thought, yeah right dude. Everyone I jump says wtf, what is that thing, where did you get it? I've probably sold 20 for them.
