Default Antigravity batteries jump start

Anybody own one of these units? Never knew they made these portable jump starters this small now until a post here the other day, and just had to have one. Ordered the xp3 unit to keep in my sg saddlebag, and may order the xp10 for the wife's jeep after I see how well the xp3 performs when I receive it. Never been stranded yet bc of a dead battery, but this thing could be a life saver and can't believe how small it is, should fit nicely in my saddlebag

I just bought the XP1, but have not needed to use it yet. I may disconnect the battery on my car just to try it out. It is a cool little unit. Much like you, I wanted it to keep on the bike since it is so small.

Ditto on bought a XP-1 and haven't had to use it. Then saw this thread and bought 4 from Walmart for our other vehicles and gifts for the kids.

I bought the Costco one and have used it twice already once to jump a Mazda and the other to jump a buds bike. We put the + clamp on the starter and the - to a ground on the bike and it started up immediately, I couldn't believe how great this thing works.

Antigravity is top rated by Consumer Reports. However, the Costco charger has excellent reviews at about half the price.

I carry the XP-1 but thankfully I haven't needed it to jump the bikes. I use it from time to time to recharge cell phones. Nice piece of kit.

Was gonna go with the xp1, but decided on the xp3 bc the only difference is the xp1 comes with all the charging tips for computers and such, both have same battery capacity. Don't need any of the extra crap, just the jump cables and will use a usb cord if I need to charge any electronic devices

If You want to start your Diesel Pickup get the Antigravity XP-10, for Cars & Bikes get the XP-1.
The Lithium jump starter from Costco will work just fine for the Bikes, Laptop, iPod, or phone.
Drop it in the saddlebag with your toolkit & go.

I got the one from Wal Mart the other day and saw people talking about jumping a bike from the starter. The directions say to jump from the battery. Are people jumping from the starter to avoid taking off the seat or what? What's the right way to do it in the event I need to? Thanks

If it's as hard to get clamps on your Harley's battery posts as mine, Anti Gravity has pigtails that go on the battery just like for tenders, only heavy enough for jumping - don't try jumping on normal tender wires. You can use a tender on the jumper pigtail, so you don't need both.

Mine isn't Anti Gravity, but it has plenty of power. Tried it on my 1200 with the bike battery disconnected and it spun it over. Used it on my van last month when the starter solenoid just clicked; the jumper spun it like a summer day - but it was around zero.

Next to my cell phone -
