Do you carry a charger?

[MeudtPG]

Wondering how many RT owners have a portable jump starter like the HALO Bolt in their bags.

 

[ARtraveler]

A good idea for some, but I am not one of them.

Five Spyders and 145,000 miles over 8 years. Have not needed a jump start once.

Space is a premium for me.

I just ordered the rugged geek rg1000 saftey plus, which comes with an air compressor too. I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it. I don't have it but will probably post an update once it arrives.

Plus I can help others, and easily move it to another vehicle if I'm going on a road trip.

I also carried the Rugged Geek... :thumbup:
It always made me think of Anthony Quinn.

 

[Grandpot]

I have two bikes, neither of which can be push started, so I have a jump pack in both. Used twice on one bike and once for a stranded motorist.

Throw another log on the Rugged Geek pile. It saved the battery on my cell phone too during a power outage in the recent storm.

 

[DGoebel]

Another log on the Rugged Geek pile, I've used mine for others, but not yet on my spyder, but's it's always in the frunk.

 

[Jarred]

Yup, Lamonster one. Even have fire extinguisher, tire patch etc. plenty of room, I’d rather avoid a tow if possible.

Nah! There are some risks in life man must take. This is on my list.

Tire patch kit, mini fire ex., jump battery ( won as a prize at a spyder rally), powerful LED flashlight, laser sighted 38 special. Be prepared..........

 

[Saluda]

My long trip list is different than my close to home list.

 

[SPECTACUALR SPIDERMAN]

I have 2 bikes & 2 micro starts & i keep one at work

 

[Dmetcalf]

I carry one along with a tire plug kit and air compressor

 

[spydernatic]

I carry one along with a tire plug kit and air compressor and a AAA card just in-case.

Hi Jack!
Now this is where we part ways with our opinions...
If I want to take a risk: I'll drink two glasses of prune juice, and go to Church! :shocked:

 

[ARtraveler]

Lots of good opinions and reasons behind them. :2thumbs:

 

[Chupaca]

I do....

Not for myself but for others and I have had the occasion to use it for both bikers and cars...:thumbup:

 

[JayBros]

Jack, ask the Princess to throw one in your stocking.

I have had issues with my Brand new Battery on my brand new 2014 Spyer RT from day one. ( it actually failed the day I bought it ) ... Because there is no way you can predict when your battery is going to DIE ( with 100% accuracy ) I bought a mini Lithium jumper device …. that was two years ago ,,, I haven't had to use it for me … but have helped others …. I have a brand new ( un-filled Yuasa in the basement ) that I will activate if my battery finally dies …. that could be this Spring or 5 years from now. …. When that occurs I will fill and charge my new one ….. JMHO …. Mike :thumbup:

I Have carried Lamonts Rugged Geek in my frunk for about a year. Recharged it once, and have started three cars (neighbors, and lady in store parking lot) but as of now not needed for our Spyders....my wife says I have too many gadgets
