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.
Nothing could be much easier than hooking the alligator clips to the jump start terminals under the seat for older Spyders or in the front trunk for 2013 onward. Open it up, pull the red cover off the positive post, hook up the alligator clips, and start the engine.

Guys and gals, there are two versions of these available the XP-1 and the XP-3 from the same manufacturer. Len and I have personally tried both on a 2013 Spyder that would not even kick on the LED lights - DEAD! When we tried the XP-3 it would not jump off the Spyder. It will jump off a Spyder with a low battery but not a dead one. Next we tried the XP-1 and we were amazed. It started a Spyder 40 times straight and then started his GMC 3/4 ton pickup with a 6.0 Supercharged engine. I am totally impressed with the XP-1 which we now stock and retails for about $150. If anyone is wanting these we do have them in stock at Pitbull Powersports. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions about this product. Thanks!

Sorry Phillip but that statement does not hold water. possibly the XP-3 that you used was defective or not the one that you want to promote, (kind of tacky on my part but just responding to a tacky post on my thread). According to the company (as stated below) the xp-3 is geared more towards charging i-phones etc but has the same Jump Starting ability and capacity as the XP-1 without all the frills and extra ports.

I don't see anything "tacky" about Pitbulls report At first glance it does seem that the 3 is a lesser version that the 1, that was my first thoughts when I read about these sometime back. Upon looking into it further I learned that the two models have the same internals. An easy mistake to make. The fact is, they simply had a bad connection with the 3 or a bad set of cables or perhaps a fuse. It happens out of the box on occasion with any product.

My response was meant to be purely factual. We had the manufacturer here on site when we did the demo of both the XP-1 and XP-3 units. We actually had 2 brand new out of the box XP-3 units to demo - both units were unable to start or even make the Spyder click - we did not want to falsely test his product. The manufacturer was also surprised at the results because his tech department told him the internals of both battery packs were exactly the same. The only difference when having them side by side is the actual size of the battery pack which is quite noticeable. I will post a pic shortly.

I have to agree Joe that the XP3 was either defective or not connected properly. I hate to see a product bad mouthed when it may not be the case with all XP3's. I bought an XP1 last fall and the first one just didn't work. I talked to the company and they said there is some type of internal safety fuse that must of tripped during the factory testing. They sent out a whole new kit, no questions asked. I've never used it in an actual emergency but it's worked perfect in all the little tests I've tried it for so far. It runs a laptop for about 6 hours and started my 485 John deere last winter when the battery was dead in below zero temps.

You did not say that, you only said the XP-3 did not work, in direct conflict with what I said after my test. No problem, but I did want to clarify that both units are basically the same

CAUTION
There are 2 packagings of the XP-3. One comes with the zippered cloth case & I-phone 5 cable, and the other only comes in a pasteboard box. Most on e-bay do not come with the case. I caught that just before making an ordering mistake. I just received mine with case from GNH Cycle for $116.99 free shipping through e-bay.

Delayed
I ordered my XP3 last week, directly from Anti-Gravity. I got an order confirmation but did not get shipping notice, so I fired off an email to find out what's up. They promptly replied saying they are out of stock and are waiting for a part to make more. They will likely ship next week.
Wouldn't you know it! You hooligans beat me to it and cleaned them out!

You can purchase ones on e bay uk from about £45 - £60 Not the same make but ones manufactured by FLOUREON - Multi-Function Car Jump Starter Battery Charger Power Bank New
These are manufactured in China and may well be the same but badged as Anti-Gravity for the USA Market
Re this statement from Anti-Gravity - Our regular Antigravity Batteries are made in the USA, but the Micro-Start was made overseas. We had to because no one in the USA could help us with the circuit board and battery cells we needed to make it function as intended.”

Micro Start report
Some co-workers had doubts about the micro start being able to work due to the small size. I have the micro gravity xp1 and we decided to put it to the test. We unhooked the battery on a Toyoda Tacoma V-6 and a Nissan Altima 2.5 four. (the Nissan was mine). We started the Tacoma 11 times and didn't want to damage the starter so we went to the Altima and proceeded to start it 8 times (like i said, it is mine so didn't take any chances with the starter ). I am sold on it. It was still showing 3 lights out of five on the charge indicator. My co workers couldn't believe it. I can't say anything about the other brands, I've looked at some on the net and have no comment on those. I can say the Anti Gravity Micro Start is very well made and has a feel of quality to it. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for your input, i agree and the XP-3 is basically the same battery but with different outputs on it ( it does not have a laptop port).
