Biggles · « **Reply #2 on:** October 17, 2013, 09:03:03 PM »

But is it better than the "amazing bit of Gear"?

$185, free shipping in Aust.
Not too bad.

Wow! Great find Icor - thanks for sharing.

Marcus · « **Reply #5 on:** October 18, 2013, 08:31:36 AM »

Wow... that's amazing.

Wait why is the Pocket 11 ($164.95) less expensive then the pocket 1 ($184.95)????

Is the carry case the only difference?

*edit* I thought I'd cover both bases and post in both of them :D

I'm going out on a limb and only posting in one. I'll let you schizophrenics pop up in both since you're obviously being catered for here.

Lots of lovely adapter plugs in a tidy carry bag. Obviously plenty of flash depictions of its capabilities but I can see no helpful facts about capacity. Jump staring diesel fourbies takes a bit more grunt than recharging a mobile phone.

Antigravity Batteries Micro-Start, Starting Demonstration

well if its half as good as the vid i will soon

Shiney · « **Reply #14 on:** October 18, 2013, 06:45:51 PM »

Wow that is impressive

Biggles · « **Reply #15 on:** October 18, 2013, 06:46:49 PM »

You're right about that, Gavo and Shiney.

That was 150 compressions on the Ducati and 9 starts of the V6 Toyota.
Most batteries would be getting pretty hot after all that current through them!

Here is a link to the Australian seller of the "Antigravity Batteries Micro-Start"

http://www.ctaaustralia.com.au/products/category_list/RXYQWLCL

Doesn’t list a price on the web site though

Gavo · « **Reply #17 on:** November 26, 2013, 10:01:10 PM »

I received mine same , just different color and yes it did start the bike with leeds disconnected from battery.

Up to 4ltr petrol engines apparently.

Have you tried other functions?
What's your professional assessment of its capacity?

Mmmmm

and thanks for posting

Looks very interesting. I guess the same sort of technology as the Lithium Battery I got for my 1300. Tried it yesterday and it started the bike just like the original battery.
This is the new battery

This is the Goldwing battery, the lithium and the ST1300 battery

Biggles · « **Reply #22 on:** November 29, 2013, 01:18:05 PM »

Holy Macarolli!
I always knew Goldwings were mini cars, but that proves it!!
No wonder they weigh more than 400 kg.

I wonder if the Lithium jobbie would replace that big sucker? Even if you put two in parallel you'r be in front weight-wise.

This site

http://batterytender.com/products/batteries.html?find=motorcycle-harley-davidson-2013-cvo-flh--touring--141878

lets you select one for GL1800s and H/Ds.
I was going to try mine out on the GL1500, feel sure it would handle it OK but didn't feel like pulling the seat off (can be a pain to refit with the lambs wool seat cover). I will try it out when I get keen one day.

PS the Goldwing battery in the photo was an old one I had replaced earlier this year.

Biggles · « **Reply #24 on:** November 29, 2013, 01:41:55 PM »

It will be interesting down the track to see what life people get, when these things are 2 to 3 times the price of a gel cell etc. Also how they ended up since we know they die without warning, unlike the drop-off that lead-acid give. Having said that, whenever a lead-acid has dropped its bundle, it's never given me any warning. Just two compressions or two clicks.

I note their 360 and 480 CCAs are the same price. Logically one would buy the more powerful one for the same $$, but there must be a penalty somehow- maybe longevity?

The ST1300 one is 240 CCA and $150 FOB, which isn't too bad.
