Gadgetman Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I suggest anyone considering getting a "start" battery consider purchasing a product that offers more than just a vehicle boost. I've been using the Antigravity products for several years and currently have the XP1 (lots of functionality, but the case is a bit big). At the hotel, I can use it to charge my phone, helmet cam, etc. Therefore, I only have to search for 1 outlet in the room to charge the battery while I'm sleeping. They come with adapters for most/all phones, battery boost cables, and a Boost switch - which has turned over a Dodge RAM truck. Comes with AC and car charge connector. I try and carry "kit" which serves more than 1 purpose, so having this to power almost anything I may bring along - it can even flash SOS on the flashlight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very similar to the one that disappeared here. One more big search and I’ll give in and buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you buy the new one the old one will turn up. At least that is the way it works around here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same battery 👍. Generator batteries get tossed out at four years too and I use them for emergency spares. Never had an issue with a dead sled battery and been riding electric start sleds since late 2000’s. I bring boaster cables but thankfully never needed them. Battery dies and is dead from a bad cell, boaster won’t help you anyways. I find they last another year or two in atv before they are toast. Batteries are only about 140 with tax. Keeping a good battery prevents stator from going bad too. It is all co-related. Cheers 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had issues a few years ago but was heading on a trip without my husband so despite his assurances that “I’d be fine” I grabbed a new battery for myself. Sold that sled last fall and have a new one now so that battery pack that I always had to have has been left somewhere and forgotten.
