Default It was under 60 bucks with shipping.

Yep worth their weight in gold! I got a 100 dollar one from amazon and can
see it coming in hand for others having dead batteries as well as myself.

These days these are a must riding bikes or not. This is the one I bought but I bet they are all good really. Yes more than enough to jump a dead V-8 and hardly use any of it up. I jump a dead 6 cylinder S-10 and it still had 100% battery life.

I have the NOCO GB70, and it has plenty of power. Started 2 dead cars, then my Massey and still had most of the
battery left, and this was in the winter.
However, check this video, the results might just surprise you.

For some strange reason I can't get the YouTube video to work.
Go to YT and search for "Which Car Jump Starter Is Best?"

I was looking for this adaptor for the jump box to the tender plug on the
bike last summer with no luck. Just looked again and now it's available.

I'm not an electrician and so I don't totally understand things electrical but is the Battery Tender pig tail a large enough gauge wire for the 1000 amps that
the NOCO can put out? I'd hate to fry something trying to jump a bike through the pigtail.

I now have the adaptor coming and will give it a try when I need it. I will have the big post clamps if wires get hot. If it jump quick and should I would think it would be alright.

If you need to jump the bike, just connect the booster pack to the pigtail ( no need for the clips) and away you go. Or jump your truck using the clips. Google NOCO GBC 009 and you should see it on Amazon.
I got these based off of recommendations by John Maxwell. Keeps you from digging out your battery to jump it. All you need to do is remove the side cover, plug the H-D/NOCO in, and you're good to go. Never had to use them yet, and keeping the alligator clips in case someone else needs a jump.

As has been posted ad nauseam on HD forums, that battery tender lead is too fine for the jump pack load. You may get away with it, but you can just get something like the Earth X lead.

It's a thicker wire and you can still use a battery tender.

I picked one up years ago and it was one of my favorite things I ever purchased. I gave them to friends and family as gifts. It's come in handy a few times over the years. Picked up a few over to keep in each vehicle.

It looked like that Audew jack pack was the best one according to the video.
