Since we carry an Anti-Gravity XP-1 jump starter in our truck, an annual spring chore is checking that it is charged and ready to go to work if needed.
Yes, I have but have found it near full charge each time I've checked it so I've not wanted to take the time or effort. And, as Frank noted, I can always top it off in the camper with solar. We've never had a dead battery on the truck....knock on wood, knock on wood, knock on wood......but we've been asked many times if we have jumper cables. The small jump starter is a lot handier.Vic Harder said:Have you thought of putting in a place in the rig where you have a power outlet to keep it "trickle" charging until needed?
Mine is Li-ion, so should it be kept on a charger all the time?Vic Harder said:Have you thought of putting in a place in the rig where you have a power outlet to keep it "trickle" charging until needed?
Dunno. Mine is a NOCO Lithium as well, and I have found that it discharges over time, faster than I thought it would.JaSAn said:Mine is Li-ion, so should it be kept on a charger all the time?
We'd like to thank the ski3pins for loaning their charged-up jump starter. It worked perfectly on our Tacoma when, in a remote area, we couldn't start our truck. We used it three times in the next couple of days. Later, I read the instructions which said it could start quite a few times (I forget -- 15 or 25 times?) as long as it had 3 out of 5 LEDs lit. It's so small and lightweight. I can hardly believe such a small device works.ski3pin said:Since we carry an Anti-Gravity XP-1 jump starter in our truck, an annual spring chore is checking that it is charged and ready to go to work if needed.
