My OzCharge RescueMate was put to the test today. First up, the battery died in my Harley Davidson 103 twin cam (1690cc). All I got was a 'click' when I pressed the starter button. So I grabbed my RescueMate, connected it to the motorcycle battery, but the battery level was not sufficient to charge the RescueMate, so I connected the RescueMate to my car, waited for the RescueMate to charge up and to my surprise, the RescueMate actually started the Harley Davidson engine. I have 2 super-capacitor jump starters; the OzCharge RescueMate and also a KROAK S320 (higher capacity). The KROAK S320 defintely does a good job, but the alligator clamps on the KROAK are rather mediocre quality and I'm actually expected them to break one day. The OzCharge RescueMate's alligator clamps are definitely much better quality. The main thing to know with the RescueMate is to understand the sequence of steps when using it. The first time I tried it on a Harley Davidson, I wasn't able to get it working, however that was my fault. Once I applied the right procedure, the RescueMate did the job. It's a good feeling to be rescued by a mate.

I bought this set a long time ago with two batteries. the NiMH batteries died and I finally got around to doing something about it. Instead of taking the batteries apart and replacing the SubC batteries with new NiMH cells, I chopped the bottom off of the battery pack and attached a Dewalt battery adapter and now it runs off of removable Dewalt LiPo battery packs. I had to leave enough space in the handle for the electronics so the height isn't quite right. It's slightly too tall to fit into the battery bay on the cabinet part so I just cut out the bottom section of the cabinet where the battery goes and now it all works fine. The Dewalt battery 20V packs charge to 20.5 volts which is still well within the capabilities of the motors in the tools. The motors themselves can run as high as 36 volts. They're not proprietary. variation in the charging of the NiMH batteries can wander up as high as 20 volts or so, so there's a wide margin of error to play with. The electronics in the tools can handle it. Even the light. The batteries don't charge in the Power8 cabinet anymore so I don't plug it in. They charge in a standard Dewalt 20V battery charger. The Dewalt batteries are 5000 mAh which is WAAYY better than the original batteries 1500 mAh capacity.

Like cycling glow plugs 2 or 3 times on cold day to help a cold start, could ‘cycling’ that capacitor into the battery BEFORE trying to start help? Charge, run,repeat 2 or 3 more times THEN try to start.

@@DesignedinAustralia0 I have used that priming technique and it works if battery has at least 2 or more volts. On my semi truck, my 12 liter diesel has 4 12volt 1000 CCA batteries and I hook one, charge pack, hook 2nd, charge it, 3rd etc. once all 4 are charged I press all 4 at the same time, leave key in on position. After gauges sweep in middle of glow plug cycle I crank it and 95% works on first try. Or “ prime “ it 2 or 3 times with key off and on last cycle it has started.

Probably. Thermostat is one of the most important parts of the cooling system,if it does not open/release it can build up pressure and overheat or if it is stuck open your water pump can fail prematurely.

Ok so I had the two original PowerHandle batteries that came with the Power8 Workshop. Plugged in to charge after being outside in both too hot to cold temps, only the power symbol came on. No digital display or background light. So I simply plugged in the second battery to the secondary charger & now the one in the main dock is fully charged. Will swap them over & should have two fully charged back to life from the dead batteries.
