Micro-Start PPS (Emergency Battery) Test Results
OK so i got one of those Micro-start PPS emergency batteries the anti gravity ones, actually the XP-3 model, i got it about a week ago, charged it completely up and put it in the back of my Spyder in its bag (This thing is smaller and lighter than my Ipad).
Today i disconnected the battery to my 2010 Chevrolet Suburban, and then connected this XP-3 to the cables to see if it would start. It started my Suburban 4 times in a row with no problem, I did not want to try anymore because I did not want to damage my Suburban, the XP-3 lights showed that it was still fully charged.
I wanted this to be able to have a battery to jump start my Spyder in case of emergency ................. Well this little sucker works like a charm. I bet i could start 20 Spyders before it runs out of power.
Go to Amazon.com and google Anti Gravity Battery and they have two styles like this the XP-1 and XP-3, i think the XP-1 just has more attachments, the XP-3 has the Jumper Cables, a USB cable with 3 different outputs and a nice soft carrying case.
It is a lithium battery so you can charge it and it will hold that charge for a year or better and it appears to be the safest way to carry an extra power supply.
It comes with a car charger and a wall Charger ($110.00 AND UP CHECK EBAY OR AMAZON FOR FREE SHIPPING)
Update: fully recharged in 40 minutes with wall plug and now it heads back into its stoage place in the Spyder.

Have used it to recharge my phone, tablet, and start the spyder. Also, if you use BRP's custom bags. It fits nicely when placed in the left compartment before putting the bag in. fwiw

Does that little powerhouse come with connectors, or do you order them separately?
It comes with battery connectors to start a vehicle and a 3 way power cord from usb to power a cell phone, Ipad and other stuff. all in one small soft case.

can you jump start the spyder with this through your 12-volt port on the bike?
Hi Joe:
This is awesome and didn't know it was even available but now I do thanks to you.
Hey- can you hook this up some how to jump start the Spyder via the 12-volt port in the trunk or does it have to be connected to the Spyder's battery posts?
Thanks!

Cannot boost through the 12V accessories port. I am guessing you have 2012 or older Spyder. In that case you can't push 150 to 200 amp through a 3 amp fuse and a 22 gauge wire.

No this needs to be at the battery for best results you may be able to use the battery terminal posts under the seat on an older RT, don't know where they are on a ST or a RS, someone correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks I just saw this at one of my local motorcycle shops and was wondering how well they work. On my add-on list now.

Okay---how about this---
I suppose hooking it through a tender pigtailed directly to the battery terminals wouldn't work either then, am I right?
Just trying to think in an emergency an easy way to use something like this without the hassles of trying to get to the battery easily. It is a 2012 RTS-SE5 that I have.
Thanks for this tidbit though--sounds awesome---just was thinking of an easier way to hook up is all.
