Jump Starter Question?
Never needed one before, but hope to travel some this season, Just starting to do some research. Don't quite understand about "lithium" vs, standard starters. Also prices range from $ 59 to over $250, Any recommendations? Thanks!

Stanley "Simple Start" at Wal-Mart. 50-60 bucks...Does All you need it to do. I've used mine to start 4 cylinder car engines, with ZERO issues. Holds charge well. You need to refresh these units a couple of times a year, even if they haven't been used.
When the Antigravity "Micro-Start" units came on the market, I grabbed one. UNfortunately...I didn't know that Lithium batteries shouldn't be stored in hot environments. I kept that unit in the saddlebags, in my garage where, in Florida Summers...it gets HOT. The battery swelled up. When I called the company they (basically) said..."Yea, they do that".
I went with the Stanley to replace it. I do most of my riding, solo...no second bike and I've had a battery fail without warning when I was on the road before. I won't leave home without it.
