OT - Backup Battery
Options
The Man In The Brown Shorts™ just delivered one of these to me, a Micro-Start XP-1:
Amazon has them on sale right now for $93. The actual battery (on the right) is smaller than a VHS tape, but not only can recharge your smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc on the road, its also powerful enough to jump-start a vehicle. A co-worker who has one used hers to start both her boat and her F-350 while on a week's vacation.
I've been stranded with a flat tire maybe 3 times in my life, but stranded with a dead battery dozens, this is definitely peace of mind for me.

Match that with a solar panel and you can live off the gridcanuckland

Nice. I have one of the big back-ups with a built in compressor. It's fine, but slides all over the trunk.

That is a good idea. I was thinking about that when I was skiing in NC and it was getting down to -8 F. I would have liked to had something like this and would try to take it int the condo at night.
...but...what is a VHS tape? Just kidding I'm old.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
your friend started an F350 - a diesel F350? will this crank a diesel engine?

I think they used to put the V10 in some of them, but I'm with @Botch - don't know why

This looks perfect for my daughter. Thanks for the heads up.

In retrospect, she may have a 250, I thought it was a 350. Slide over, Brian Williams..._____________

That's cool. Lithium chemistry has a high power density.
I don't have a spare, or a jack, or a lug wrench or jumper cables in my car. Extra weight. I just call for a tow.

@nolaegghead ahhhh, the Porsche. I thought you meant the Ram.
-
@Eggcelsior - Yep, moar weight = moar slow. The RAM, I drive all over town with a bed full of firewood. That thing has the performance of a bulldozer.

These are amazing little units! I have an XP-10 and have boosted my 3500 Cummins, my Dad has the XP-3 (i think thats it, the medium sized one) and easily cranked over his 700hp ZR-1 'Vette, which has previously proven tough to boost. He was amazed at how well this worked. And their pricing is very reasonable IMO. Getting one for the Mrs soon.Lethbridge, Alberta LBGE & MM
