Title: eBay goodies
Post by: CraigB on August 03, 2018, 11:17:03
The first of my several ebay goodies turned up today :happydance:

Had to go jumpstart my niece's car last weekend which reminded me I needed to grab myself a new portable jump starter, the SJS starter I previously had used cheaper prismatic cells (likely recycled) which are no match for this Antigravity XP-10, should have no problems cranking a 7ltr diesel :D

My usual question.. How much? About $240?

With  your new wizz-bang Lithium battery will you ever need it?  :eek:

Dazz, that model is $269 from CTA Australia  :link: Products | Carlisle Tyres (http://www.ctaaustralia.com.au/products/category_list/RXYQWLCL) though I got a 15% discount through eBay.

Lithium batteries as with Lead Acid can go flat too, though they generally hold their charge longer, I'd rather be safe than sorry but :wink: and I can also use the battery on my travels to power laptops and phones :goodjob2:

If there was a way to get the Antigravity RS-30  :link: RS-30 LITHIUM-ION CAR BATTERY ? Antigravity Batteries (https://shop.antigravitybatteries.com/products/starter-batteries/automotive/rs-30/) here in Australia at a reasonable price I would probably have bought one of those as even if the battery goes flat it contains Re-Start technology, with a touch of a button on the battery it uses a backed up storage charge to jumpstart the vehicle, very expensive to get here though at about $1100 delivered from the US.

I would probably consider a trip to Bali if I lived in Perth.  :evil:
