What battery for starting a Honda GX390?

Recommended Posts

Just fitted an electric start to my processor due to a shoulder problems so I now need to sort a battery pack. There is not much space on the processor to fit a large battery and it needs to be tidy as this is a road tow processor. Wondering if one of those dinky lithium jump start packs would work. Probably only turn it on 10 times a day and I can recharge when I get back or in the truck or would it best just to lug a leisure battery about and just set it up on site?

Some people use a cordless drill on the crank shaft nut to start them ...

A decent 'dinky lithium jump pack' such as  Noco GB70 will start a 3 litre diesel from stone cold flat. Starting your processor ten times a day would barely move the needle. I'd really recommend that you go down that route, as the first time you wake to having left the lights on in your truck you will be so greatful that it's behind the seat!

 

I really rate mine.
