Interesting Jumper Pack. No battery to die and works well. It is basically a string of capacitors that takes the minimun voltage that is in your battery , even though its not enough to start the machine, it is enough to fill the capacitors and boost the battery for starting. The only problem is if the battery is completely dead wont do any good, but you can charge it in 2 minutes with your car battery. Interesting idea if the capacitors hold up, time will tell.

Capacitors do not have infinite life, and as an EE, I question the claim of 10x the service life over a jumper pack. Maybe, but I think I'll just stick with a jumper pack. I've been happy with my NOCO Boost GB40, going on 6 years and still strong. That thing started my Vette with a DOA battery, so the ATV is a piece of cake when I've needed it.

      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.

      Hi all.  New to the forum & quads.  Seems like a great place full of info.
      I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700.  I need a battery.  I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types.  I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire.  RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140.  Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
      from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS.  How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
      And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?
