dairyman Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) I made up about a 4ft section of jumper cable for my 4 wheeler in case it dies on the ice. I was able to start it using my flasher battery. I disconnected one side of my battery connections to simulate a dead battery.I will be carrying an extra battery in my 4 wheeler. Thought I would pass along this information Edited November 14, 2015 by dairyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneckdan Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Just be aware that a flasher battery is not design for cranking. In all likely hood you will destroy the battery. When the chips are down ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dairyman Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 I've got extra batteries so that's not a problem. I've got a few of those batteries that they use in the emergency lites in buildings that I plan on carrying on the 4 wheeler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I put a 7 amp hour battery, the same as what your using with a flasher in a ATV years ago.It would sit all winter long and start the ATV in the Spring. I thought for sure the rate of charge and draw would have fried the battery for sure, but it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
