Saved my Bacon

[robhowen]

Update: My battery badly failed the load test so I purchased a replacement Duracell AGM battery at "Batteries Plus Bulbs". Perfect fit.

I purchased Lamonster's Battery Pack and Jumper mainly for charging devices when I travel. I also got it in case I needed to jump my RT. It saved my bacon yesterday as I had a completely dead battery on my RT, and charging it did no good. As soon as I'd turn the key the voltage would drop below 10v. The worst part is I was parked in the middle of my gravel drive. I pulled out the jump pack and it immediately started the bike. I left it connected and rode my bike to the barn and parked it there. To my amazement the battery pack still showed 100%. Thank you, Lamont!

I bought one too. Haven't had to use it, but it's nice to know it's there just in case (for times like that!)

Good to hear...

They do come in handy and can get you and or others out of a tight situation. :thumbup:

The booster packs work very well. You just have to remember to charge it up regularly. If you have not used it. Once a year may be enough. But likely better every 6 months.

I check the charge on mine quarterly and it has always shown 100%. Thankfully have not had to use it.

Not to be funny, but I had to jump two Harley's this year. Go figure.

Amazing thing. A friend has one - started THREE Rams with Cummins. In a row. Without recharging. Mine started neighbor’s car at 30-below and still showed 100%.

I have one in my 2012 rt and one in each car from Lamot

What is the physical size and weight? Did not see it in the ad.

Anything being sold for a motorcycle should always include the physical size and weight in the advertising. Those two things are a major concern if you are carrying it on a bike.


Nevermind.......... found it on Amazon. 6.3 x 2.9 x 1.3 inches & 2.95 pounds

Not too large and reasonable amount of extra weight.

The 600 one is 40 bucks on amazon....shipped. I got the 800 45 bucks.

Paid 70 for 2000a, used it twice, left in spyder, 35 days later, still at 100%.
Apparently, I didn’t need one this big for spyder.
