Antigravity Micro-Start XP-1

[ionbeam]

A friend from Honda V4 forums, known to be way more frugal than a Yankee just posted about this battery booster. He started a long dead small displacement Suzuki after a lot of starter grinding. He then removed the battery cables from a Dodge van with a 318 C.I. engine and tried to crank the van with the charger alone. No go. AntiGravity is clear that the booster has to be fully charged to do a good job, if it is even a little drained it will seriously degrade performance so it is no surprise it didn't crank the Dodge. The video does show some of the accessories the booster comes with, it's a pretty complete kit.

There was a sale on these Lithium Jumpstarters a while back and I got
mine in last week while I was over in Vegas. So I got around to testing
mine today.

I'm headed to Baja on Wed to spectate the Baja 1000 so I need to get my
Suzuki DR fired up hence the test is 2 birds with one stone.

It's 14 AH and has 12V, 19.5 V (laptop) and 3.5V cell phone charging
terminals plus a flash light and some strobes.

Worked pretty good starting my DR350 that hasn't run in a year. It was
quite spunky while I tried to start the bike for 30 seconds of grinding.
Once I put new gas it the bike it started right up.

After grinding on the Bike for some time I took it over to my V Dodge Van
and gave it a try without the Van's battery hooked up, and it wouldn't to
that. Prolly would help a low battery enough to start on a big engine, but
wouldn't do it by itself.

Still I think this little Jump starter kit is a handy thing to take on
trip be it car or bike.

Here's a little video of today's test.

MCN magazine did a very positive review on this unit about a year ago?

I bought one, but have yet to use it.

That is the purpose of buying one..... never having to use it.

EXACTLY!!!!

I bought it because I spent all of May on the road with a battery going bad and jumping the damned thing all the time. I was too cheap to buy a battery because I had a brand new one sitting on the workbench in the garage at home. Now that the new battery is in, no problems. But boy I am ready, and almost looking forward to a dead battery in the future!
