Not a problem it just cranked it up like a normal 12v battery and its light, about the same as a can of coke plus on my last trip to QLD I forgot my GPS lead so I used the jump starter and it ran all day with out a problem.

Not to mention you can recharge your phone and run your laptop off it.  It comes with every conceivable type of connecting plug.

I've also brought one of these, it arrived a couple of weeks ago from the US ($138UD), it arrived fully charged and they're supposed to hold their charge for up to 6 months without recharging, I haven't had a need to use it as yet, but it will be there if required! :grin

Just have to hope it's in the pannier when you need it!     >:()

It's going to be moving around between the bike and our cars, with most time spent in the cars as I drive far more often than I ride, but.......it will be in the pannier, if and when I should ever need it, along with my puncture repair kit, and compressor, and of course, first aid kit!! :grin

Supercheap Auto have a similar one on special until 13 January. It's rated at 3300 mAh which I guess is at 12 volts.
The anti-gravity battery is rated 12000mAh at 3.3 volts.
It has the 5 volt USB port, but not the 19 volt one for laptops that the X1 boasts.
They limit it to 2500cc engines where the X1 boasts V8 capability.

A year or so ago I paid the $5 to join their "club".  You get the $5 back immediately with a 28 day $10 credit and points for your spend which age-out at 28 days.  Over Christmas they credited my account with $5 twice, which I cheerfully bought oil and filters with.  Then they gave me $13 credit for the difference in what I'd spent, to be used by the end of January.  Obviously it's a loyalty device, but I'd usually shop there anyway, and they have some good specials.

I knew there was something else I had to buy before too long!  I will just add it to the list which has a action camera of some sort on it.

The supercheap club is well worth joining if you go there anyway (Repco sometimes has auto club discounts also worth looking out for) I bought an air compressor that was on sale a week or so later, so I was credited with the price difference.
