Solid Jumpstart Power

On that note, may I dar to say that this charger never fails. Every time the Jeep battery dies, the Schumacher Jumpstart box does the trick. Additionally, we rewired a section of the Jeep’s wiring system to run the car stereo, speakers, sub, amp, and new lights. As mentioned before, this charger provides a little extra kick when needed; the 100a engine start feature is a nice touch. For the price, on Amazon ~$110.99, you cant beat it. Of course, pricing may vary. This charger has saved enough in batteries alone.

Let’s Take A Closer Look

Battery Needs A Charge

Optima

Next, the Schumacher keeps extra batteries in storage charged. The charger maintains and prepares batteries for their next job. At some point, we will use these batteries for some lowfi, lowtech home ‘metal working’, or in the case of running a quick fix on a trail-locked Jeep or 4-wheeler…

Batteries, Charging and Backup Systems

Using batteries in series will maximize your ability to get the job done in any trail condition. For our test case, we will be using metal working to weld some items around the house. This will allow us to scratch that old welding itch and learn how to fabricate metal at home. The main goal is to practice welding. Novice welding is suitable using a DC welding electrode to patch metal, fix broken metal items at home, or simulate a trail repair. Alternatively, you can also try a little welding at home. For more information, check out ‘BleepinJeep’. I will be posting a quick video on the concept titled “Welding with Jumper Cables and Car Batteries” via BleepinJeep.

From backup satellite batteries to chargers, in a pinch get a charge. Have a look at the Schumacher Charger and the NOCO Jumpbox for automotive batteries. The Matrix Power Supply for electronics and even a 9v battery in a pinch. Various chargers with means to charge your technology in an emergency, storms or traveling abroad. Gone are the days of needing multiple batteries for your cell phone.
