Battery died in my Expedition this morning had to call AAA. I know, I know, It's not a Harley. WTF is this doing here?
Fast forward to this afternoon, I'm in Cosco and see this for $50. Had heard about them, Didn't really buy into it.
Brought it home, jumped my Expedition without breaking a sweat. Going back to Cosco tomorrow to get another to keep on the Fatboy. Has a case, jumper leads, built in flashlight, a couple USB ports to charge devices.
Just giddy and had to share. Been stranded on the Hog in a rainstorm with HOG roadside telling me they're backed up over a dead battery. Wasn't fun.

Hell yea, if I had seen one in action prior I would have zero issues paying $100 for it. Screw jumper cables. Hardly takes up any room in the saddlebags either.
However, for the Harley I would get a battery Tender instead, ESPECIALLY if you have an AGM battery...
Tender doesn't help when you're stranded with a bad battery on the road. Really for jumping off and charging a phone or something. Not meant to keep your battery charged. My car battery literally went bad over 5 miles between the house and gas station. A cell went dead in it.
It's a lithium battery pack, not charging your vehicle battery. Hook it up, crank, no waiting.
Here's the specs, 200-350 Cranking Amps

That’s pretty neat. I have the portable one that you have to plug in once a month. It’s kind of big and it’s a POS. It would even jump my lawnmower. I would like to get one of these.

Had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. Rode to the gas station, filled up with my buddys, ready to ride then click click. Tow of shame back to the house and . . . this would have been great to have. I wonder if it would damage any of the electrics on the bike? You know how finicky these bikes can be. Good to know though!
