[Shop-talk] Battery Starter/Charger

[jonnic1947]

This is not exactly what is being discussed but I bought one 30+ years ago and it has never failed on any flat battery that was not completely sulphated. On diesel engines up to 6 litre capacity. http://www.bcet.co.uk/jumpastarta-starter-motor.html Maybe expensive but with the GBP currently on the floor versus the USD there's no better time to buy. Your only problem will be that any neighbour with a poor starting car will always be wanting to borrow it.

They are pretty much just an undersized battery with cables attached. What I did was get some quick disconnection battery terminals like these, but heavier duty... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Anderson-SB120-Connector-Kit-Blue-2-Awg-6801G1/270508372567 Then I put them on  my zero turn mower.  The battery I use in that tractor is a normal car sized fit and I put a high CCA battery in it. When I need to jump start something, I can quickly remove it from the tractor, and attach the special jumper cable I made (with one end having that connector) to the battery and I'm in business. Sometimes I don't even need to remove the battery from the tractor. If you don't have a tractor (or other toy) that takes a car sized battery, and you can't find a proper jump charger, just buy a normal car battery and trickle charger.  It beats the jump box because it's cheaper with more power. Just another option. Sent from my Commodore 64 on a 2400 Baud Modem.
