2021 RTL - what size battery jump starter should I be looking at??

[emudryj]

I want to include a battery booster or Jump starter in my kit and was looking at the Noco brand...

Does anyone have an idea on what size jump starter I should be looking at for my Spyder?

Battery Booster or Jump Starter ???? not the same thing ..... I carry a cheapo Lithium Ion battery JUMPER/STARTER .;... device - paid about $40.00 for it works great ..... Mike :thumbup:

I bought the NOCO for about $100 at Walmart. Started my Spyder just fine, with that boost start. Sorry, don't remember what model right now. But when I get home, I can find it for you.

NOCO GB40. It has a USB charge cord. If you have a wall 125V plug (little rect box) with the USB on side, you can always carry that and have 2 ways to charge it.

My dead battery story. Had LED lights that someone else RF remote turned on my lights at night and ran battery down by morning time at a hotel. In the morning someone had a partial charged jump pack, Spyder turned over twice, didn't start. so walked to Walmart got the jump pack. Came to hotel room, charged it up, went out to Spyder, pressed the boost button. Started right up. Then I went on a 35-mile ride to further charge the battery. Once I got home from the trip, installed a on/off switch that I can turn OFF, so nobody's RF remote can turn it on ever again!

I know you asked about a NOCO brand.

While riding with a group, I had a total battery failure less than two years after I bought my 2020 RTL. Someone in the group had a small jump pack, though jumping was ultimately unsuccessful.
Fortunately, enough people were around me that I could get help. I was able to get a ride to buy a new battery.

Nevertheless, I keep this on my Spyder.

Of course, it cost about half as much when I bought it.
Also, now that I have it, I can rest assured I'll never need it again myself, but I'll have it if I encounter someone else who needs a jump start.

Damn.. I ordered One of the Noco GB40 before seeing this post... it does not look to perform great on that video...

I've had two Rugged Geeks and they've both turned out to be pieces of junk. Furthermore, the company has not responded to a complaint about the second one that is less than a year old. The company can only be contacted by email; worthless customer service. A Noco GB 40 is at the top of my to order list.

I've had a Rugged Geek for a couple of years. Works great. Started other people's cars, pickups, lawn tractor and my Spyder. Guess everybody has their own experience and luck with any given product.

STANLEY SS4LS 600 Peak Battery Amps PowerToGo Lithium Ion Power Station Jump Starter and 8000mAh Portable Power Bank: Dual 3.1A USB Ports, Battery Clamps , Gray
This is what I use although haven’t had to use it on a Spyder. Have started v8 pickup trucks and my own GMC canyon in the middle of winter. It’s saved me several times and it works well.
It has lots of power so I’m sure it will work on the Spyder.

Another +1 Rugged geek RG1200 nice, simple, effective. Handy case too, added the air compressor.



:2thumbs: Even reaches the pesky stem on rear. Nice case too. :firstplace: However, looking back - maybe would have got the 1200 plus (case built to fit both.)



Both can fit in just the 1200 case just not as clean & proper.
