BFSC Kevin Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 for anyone looking, http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_...fromSearch=true that is a battery booster pack.. has navigational light, emergency light, air pump, and some other things.. 40% off, so $89.99 now.. not bad.. i bought one last year, sold it, but i might want to get one again.. kevin
ccmtcanada Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) These power/booster packs are a great idea! I decided against this and went for the nautilus deep cycle. The booster pack you mention only has 33AH compared to 103AH for the $119.99 deep cycle. I'd use it as an emergency backup for my main battery though!! Edited November 25, 2007 by ccmtcanada
Rich Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 Going to pick mine up this week. Great little item to have kicking around.
irishfield Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 This one keeps it's charge well..as well. I have one I leave at the lake all year. So it sits in it's spot at what ever the temp is outside, all winter, and when I arrive in the spring I plug it in to top it up and it's still pretty much fully charged. You'll find the nav lights are a novelty pretty much...but they will get you out of a bind if you have someone strong enough to hold that sucker up while you blast down the lake. The white light should have been put on the opposite side of the red/green..so you still need to hold a mag light up or something at the back of the boat to be (semi) legal.

HAHAHHA....yeah.. the nav lights are pretty much garbage.. unless your front deck is high enough the air compressor has only so much power... the compass seemed to work fine the 12v cigarette lighter is nice to have for anything.. the power meter is nice to have too.... it has a ac adapter to charge it with, so for people that don't have the battery charger, this is would be great... but its a tad bulky... overall still a good item!
nautifish Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 I have one use it all the time for the trolling motor on the tinny and i love it. Had mine allmost two yrs now and still works great. Never had any problems with it.
Spiel Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 ....Perhaps Santa will leave one under the Christmas tree for me?

Spiel Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 Catch a Big Bow and you mite win one ....Oh sure, I'd have to get out on the water to do that!
