Eats banana, slips on peel, breaks anvil with head.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Hand it to a Marine and tell him it's fragile.Ok, but can you tear up an anvil, using nothing but a banana?
It's really hard to justify that kind of money on a jump start pack, when you can buy a pair of Hawker/Odyssey 6TAGMs, and still have enough left over to buy 2 of the GB150s that will have an equal amount of peak cranking amps when used in series (on one each battery) that the GB500 doesHas anyone considered the noco GB500??
Not about battery maintenance, more about battery draw and ending up with low voltage.. check my batteries every day, but needless to say as I RunAbout I drain them and might need a jump.. so we need some solutions…. be as it may be I don’t have a constant battery voltage lead stuck in me arse …. So if I haven’t checked my arse in a bit, I might be low…. need a bumpIMO... It would make more sense to keep on top of your rigs batteries... than spending that kind of money to tote around another piece of gear.
Don't forget the batteries hide under the seat, lol. So take a peek from time to time. Get that Amp meter out and check for parasitic drain, find it and fix it.
Clean all connections and battery tops, corrosion prevention grease where applicable, proper torqued hardware, hold downs, wires with grommets... all that good stuff.
Once one kills a lead acid battery you're on borrowed time...or for sure one of the "9" life's is gone. LOL Winter is around the corner... so fix it now or in a snow drift.

Govt planet has a lot of about 200 of these they are auctioning off. I will absolutely install this when I find out where to buy just 1. Where can this be sourced?????? Butt need a bump ?? Or did you mean a jump? My truck has a working alternator so no humping, bumping or jumping. Got one of these too.

Let the sun shine and good to go, CAMO
200. More like 600 slold in the last month and another 150 plus on line.Govt planet has a lot of about 200 of these they are auctioning off. I will absolutely install this when I find out where to buy just 1. Where can this be sourced?
There are two versions of the Solargizers. The big lot of them on the auction (if I remember right) were the small ones - these DO NOT charge the batteries, they desulfate them only. The ones with the bigger solar panels will trickle-charge the batteries. So whether you bid on them to win the lot, or buy one from whoever does win them, do some research first. I have the small one on my M1009 right now.Govt planet has a lot of about 200 of these they are auctioning off. I will absolutely install this when I find out where to buy just 1.

The last lots sold in August and current are the larger panels. (600 or so units sold to date)There are two versions of the Solargizers.
