I did a search for the above, before posting, didn't find anything. I'm sure I saw this product before seeing it in my monthly MC magazine, but it must not have been here.

http://shop.antigravitybatteries.com/micro-start-xp-1/

I like the 6 months before recharging. About the size of a large paper back novel, easy to carry.

I wonder how good it would do on a hard to start cold 6 cyl MC? I know I need time to play with the chock sometimes.

I seen one put to the test at my local napa.
it started 6 cars that the batteries were drained enough that the engines wouldn't even crank. just clicked the starter solenoids..
after that it needed charged.
in my opinion it's well worth the money.

  I got this a few months ago and charged it an put in glove box.  all sort of attachments to charge phone, laptop, etc.  also short jumper cables to start car ( and bike for sure).

also got one of these to throw in my computer bag and have used it several times, most recently on flight when kindle ran out of juice.

Mark (Mad6Gun) had something similar at InZane...  Small, compact, attachments for anything and everything.  Kinda pricy, but very cool  cooldude

Alternator went out up in the boondocks of thr Mi. UP.  Buddy had one of these and hooked me up to battery and duck taped to the bike.  Rode it about 5 miles down the road to a place we could load it on a trailer.
