FYI we have a BUNCH of trees down around the farm that would be beautiful firewood.

If you would like to come up and cut some, let me know. I won't help though

This offer is open while it is dry. Don't wait until deer season and it is wet.

Anyone have experience with these? My battery got scary low in Arkansas and I was alone.

Not wanting to spend $500 on a dual battery system especially since I'm usually not alone.

The size is great.

I looked into those and that brand had some scary reviews. The other more widely praised brand is Antigravity. Couple different models, but all do basically the same thing. This is the XP10 model:

Micro Start XP 1

Don't buy from Amazon, buy direct. There have been some counterfeits on Amazon.

 

[wngrog]

Anyone actually used one?

I can't tell how big that is.

 

[ntsaint]

7" X 3" X 1"

Bag is prob twice that.

We just carry a jump box when in Colorado on the trails. not too much bigger and has been reliable even after sitting without recharging it for a while.

Check with CT. The one we gave away at the Crawl is the best on I seen and it's tiny!

i have a xp10, its a lil bit bigger than an iphone 6, comes with a nice bag, have used it to charge the cell phones when the power is off at the house. No problem jumping a car. Not sure how many jumps it would give btw charges, because honestly used it once.

That is crazy how small those are. I need to get one now that I have an auto and can't bump-start any more.

 

[wngrog]

It just seems like a much better option than lugging a jump box (mine always die) or complicated dual batteries

That's the cost of an optima. And it's portable

Dealers only use those like Andy posted. They rave about them. Only repeated starts with the push button (15 sec cranks) has gotten tips of plastic to melt. I would go that route before 2 batteries. That brand you posted Nolen was the other charger I looked at.

It's like that game you play as a kid: one of these is not like the other:

*my commuter car making that D90 look even cooler.

Went and got this out of storage. Bought it from my buddy's estate.

1987 Supra. 7MGE automatic. 78k original miles. Welcome to the 80's.

 

[Fireman]

Oh yea

 

[Fireman]

Cleaned up nice with just a wash. Its been sitting 10-13 years.

 

[offr0adlim0]

Time for a 2JZGTE or a LS1 swap for ultimate sleeper status

 

[wngrog]

I wanted one so bad.

 

[Fireman]

Going to pull the plugs and soak the cylinders with Marvel mystery oil and drain the old gas.
