Jump Starter?

[sjlongiv]

Hey Guys, What is the best jump starter to carry in my boat and truck? And, will they jump a lithium (NUKED PRODUCTS) starting battery also? I have a new boat ordered and wanted to have this in advance. Thanks

Interesting...

I actually carry the gb40. I have only used it once to jump a coworkers car but it worked as advertised. Super lightweight and fairly small. Holds a charge forever if you don't use it.

I have an Anker that is a lot like the Noco you posted above. I habe jumpstarted so many vehicles and people almost laugh when I walk up with it. It has always worked first try and is in my truck or boat at all times. I wouldn’t go anywhere without it.

Thank you!

I have the biggest Weego 66. I haven't tried to start my 150 Optimax with it yet but it did kick off my wife's Honda CRV the other day just fine.

Anyone with an Optimax may find this from the Weego FAQ page...

I’M HAVING TROUBLE JUMPING MY MERCURY OPTIMAX ENGINE.Mercury Optimax outboard marine engines have a heavy power draw before the engine even starts– the electronics quickly drain any battery connected to that engine. In addition, if the battery connected to the engine is less than 11V, the engine will not turn on (the electronic systems require 11V minimum to operate).We have experienced many instances where a Weego is connected to an Optimax, and the Optimax drains the Weego down to 11V before a jump start even occurs. When this happens, the boats engine shuts down. We advise that you purchase one of our largest models, the N66 or the JS18, for your Mercury Optimax engine. We also suggest you charge these units to 100% before use to ensure the best performance. The larger capacity of these units will help with the heavy power draw and strict voltage requirement of your engine.

I also have the GB40. I keep it in my truck and put it in the boat when I launch, just a little piece of mind. I've only used it once to assist another boat.

May need to check with he lithium company that makes the battery as some lithium batteries are not compatible with the jump packs.

I have a weego. Worked once, second time didn't. Haven't had to use it since, but I'd rather have something that leaves no room for doubt.

I have had one of these on hand every boat trip since 2005. It has a cigarette lighter plug in that I attach a converter to. I use it to run an extra livewell aerator or radio. Have had to use it to bump my trolling motor also on extreme windy days when batteries drew down.

Best feature is using the convertor during power outages to string a temporary lamp and charge phones and flashlights. I loaned it to a guy in the club this year whose big motor battery was dead. He used it to run his livewell all day and start the motor.

I have the XP 10. Its been really good. I've used it to jumpstart my truck and it worked great. Also jumped an old johnson outboard that took forever to start but the jump box never quit. Stays charged for a long time. Has lots of accessories for charging your phone and stuff too.
