Starting a Spyder off of a battery booster

[scubadown]

I purchased a Rugged Geek Boost starter recommended by Lamonster. I could not get it to start my 2013 ST-L. I contacted Rugged Geek and they sent me another one. It too will not turn over the Sypder engine but it will start my F-150. I have hooked it up to the jump points on the LHS and have tried direct off the battery. Neither works.

This video is with the battery disconnected. Any suggestions?

If the battery is 100% dead I have to put the unit into manual mode. Check the user instructions. Good luck.

Are you sure it's a dead battery and not something else?

Mine does the same thing. But if you hook up the jump cables and wait for 1 minute maybe 2. It will start right up.

it's a download thing... seems all these smart batteries etc need to recognize what your doing or at least in what direction you are going.....

I just tried this, both with the battery disconnected and the key on and then with the key off and the Rugged Geek Booster won't even turn the engine over once.

I have a brand new battery so I have to disconnect the battery to simulate a "bad" battery to test the booster.

This all started when I was installing some TricLed lights. I had the key on too much testing the lights and wore the battery down. I thought it would be a great test for my new, never tried battery booster. Hooked it up and it wouldn't crank it over. Since then I have installed a new battery but I don't trust this particular booster for when I ever need it. What is weird is it will crank my truck but not my little spyder.
