Micro Booster or Second Starting Batteries
Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2021 9:58 am
For the past few years I've been keeping a micro booster battery aboard rather than try to install a second starting battery on our Sport 13. I've never had to use it as the "big" battery has never failed to start the engine.
Three days ago the original battery on our 2014 Ram pickup failed even after charging. Yesterday I tried starting the 5.7 liter V8 engine using our new NOCO micro booster battery. It worked as advertised and allowed us to drive to a parts store where the original battery was replaced.
I was pleased with the NOCO and it is very easy to use. It includes a plug that allows the use of a 12 volt convenience outlet on a vehicle or boat to recharge via an included USB cable. It can also be used as a power source or battery charger for any USB powered device and has a strong built-in flashlight to facilitate jump starting in the dark.
I recommend the NOCO for use as an auxiliary battery on small weight sensitive boats although it is advertised as being capable of starting virtually any gasoline engine used on Boston Whaler boats.
