Jump starters

I've been so pissed off with the engine spinning over easy enough but not firing on occasions of '' her '' choosing ----- so after lots of research bought a SEALEY RS102 Road Start , packing 600 cold cranking amps . So , if the fully charged 680 Oddysey gets lowered to less than 12 volts cranking my high compression engine , the ECU should still get it's minimum required volts if I always use the Sealey :roll:
Having said that , it's started every week or so since messing me around at Goodwood in December --- obviously doesn't like sitting on the trailer overnight. Hopefully it'll be delivered tomorrow for me to charge up the internal battery then I can use it at Abingdon this Friday.

Works a treat so now need to take the croc clips off and fit Anderson plugs to Stylus and jumper :roll:

Still got the andersen plgs I gave you years ago ??

I've got a jump battery for mine now too. :wink:

Yes , I've still got them Matt but wont have time to fit them before Goodwood's Regis Sprint . As long as I start it using the Sealey for the sound test and first practice , it'll probably be ok . It's way too much trouble getting your helmet/harness off , to undo all the bonnet pins and clips , jump it then get back into driving mode before either moving up the line or up the front of the pitlane :roll:
Once the Anderson plug is fitted along the passenger tunnel , the jumper can stay in the car right up to the greenlight then passed to '' someone '' :wink:
The female 5mm boltholes on my battery make it tricky to easily fit jump leads for the plug.
