|
|
I've been on the road, out West and Alaska, for 4 months.
One of the primary toys is my Polaris RZR, which has but one
way to start the engine. That is a good battery. If the
battery fails, I am dead on the trail. Was reading the RZR
Forum the other day. One of the guys had purchased an
emergency start battery. Sounded like good insurance, not
only for the RZR, but also the MKIII with 912ULS. If I got
stuck somewhere with a low battery, unable to start the
912ULS, I would not be going anywhere. With the emergency
start battery, I'd soon be on my way. I might add, I did
hand start my 912UL once to see if it was possible. Never
considered the 912ULS because of the high compression engine
(10.5:1) driving through a gear box.
The battery is a Bestek G-11, purchased from Amazon. Larry
C also got one for his HKS. We paid 42.99 each. There are
larger ones, but this little one started the RZR this
morning 5 consecutive times and still had reserve power.
The RZR battery was completely disconnected. Only the
Bestek was used to start.
They are extremely small, light weight, have a small LED
light, will charge most all your hand held electronics
through a USB connection. The Bestek can be charged from a
USB port on your desk top or lap top, 110 vac usb charger or
12vdc usb charger.
Not trying to sell these, but seemed like cheap insurance
for the airplane and many other emergencies.

That is very cool. The link you posted did not work for me, here is a different one that might work.

Noticed that the jumper wire size is 10 awg(Amazon pic) ...which is
pretty small... Guessing that a short set of jumper cables and a 10 amp
hour sealed battery would do as well ..? Probably not as
convenient...however.. Herb
wondering if the batteries are Lithium Ion?
