Dead battery--check this out

Do any of you guys use this product or have seen it being used? It could be handy to have on your boat if it works like they claim.

I agree that they look like a great idea. Right now I carry one of these with me

which would work if I needed it as long as I remember to charge it lol. That is the biggest plus I see to the Tournament Saver, there is nothing to charge or to forget in the garage. I ran across their site the other night while I was looking at Alton Jones' website and I have been tempted ever since.

That's what I have also and alot cheaper

I don't know how much it costs, but it has to be a LOT more than a pair of jumper cables, which do not take much time to hook up.

Average life is two to three years if you charge it and store cool dry place. I built a crossover switch with four battery cables and two Perko Isolaters. I can flip the two Perko switches and one of my trolling battery assists the starter battery.

If you decide to this and have a 24 volt trolling motor unplug it and put a Perko switch between the two trolling batteries. I wonder if I can draw a picture.

The third switch would be between the two batteries on the red positive side.

two leads from the left battery to two switches to the starter battery.

1. disconnect troller plug
2. throw 3rd switch
3. throw two jumper switches
4. start engine and reverse the order after engine starts. Try not to leave connected to long.

Boogieman is right. Jumper cables are somewhere in one of the compartments on my boat. I'm sure I recall seeing them when I was looking for something else. Also they might come in handy to help someone else on the water.
