[Shop-talk] Battery Starter/Charger

[Pat Horne]

One thing about the UK unit is that it will probably require 220v service. 

Peace,
Pat

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.

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.

Bob, 
Another option is what I do.  I hate those anemic jump boxes.  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...

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.
