First you have to find out if the PJBQC kit (if that's what you're referring to) is compatible with your GB40. If so then you need an idea of how much current you Slime pump draws. Temporarily replace 7.5A fuse in the Scosche SAE adapter with a higher rated fuse.
I have a NOCO jump start, as well. 1000A. It comes with a cable that bolts to the battery with their style connector plug. The wire is 8 gauge.
There is no SAE battery tender connection used for boosting with this kit. A heavy gauge wire kit is permanently connected directly to the battery. This wire kit has a connector on the other end that plugs directly in to the jump starter to boost the battery.
Their ad states:
What do you mean by "other 8 gauge cables"? Are you going to extend them? If the cables aren't too long and the duration too great you'll probably be dandy. Just keep an eye out for smoke in the air.
You got it right in back in post #13. Your summation agrees with the video and Andrew's summation. It will work – no melt down. Not even a minor one. Well I won't mention anything about pilot error.
No! Such battery tender wires are way too thin to handle the load/current by the starter motor safely.
Scosche said on that link above (amazon's q and a section) that the conector is proprietary and it will not fit any other batteries. That was Scosche's answer to someone who asked your question. Clearly they want to sell the whole kit, or at least a battery costing well north of $100. Our choices seem to be to wait for @Larry Fine to report back if the connector does fit his battery, or to risk $25, get the adapter from amazon, see if it fits your particular jump battery and return it to Amazon if it does not. Please report back here if you try the latter. Scosche does sell a SAE adapter to go from their connector to most SAE plugs, so presumably that adapter will power up your compressor.
SAE conector should have and do have its own fuse... Don't use it for jump starting..
No, that's a good assumption.
Skip, consider it an honor to stir the nest as thoroughly as you did. Don't sweat the details, if you use Scosche's kit and their adapters you should be fine and have no problems. The discussions are pointing out issues that arise when folks try to mix and match other products with one brand's goods. If you use their adapter on your battery, and their SAE connector, you can use your SAE accessories with no worries - slime compressors, a Battery Tender with an SAE connector, etc. You cannot jump start the bike through the SAE connector - only Scosche's connector that plugs into their jump starter. Reread @Andrew Shadow's postr #45.
Interesting. Scosche's answer to the question re wire GA was it is 12 AWG on Amazon. Regardless, if you use their hardware it should work well. Mix and match other brands and you are in uncharted territory.
NO! You cannot jump through the battery tender pigtail. It is rated at a few (under 10) amps. You need heavier ga wire w/ a larger fuse.
Bingo! Exactly what I reiterated.
No, you can not boost through the battery tender pigtail with this kit even if you wanted to. The plugs are not compatible. The booster cables that are attached permanently to the battery plugs directly in to the booster pack. You can not plug their SAE adapter cable directly in to their booster pack, so you can not boost through the SAE adapter with their booster pack.
They look to be exactly the same to me.
Just an F.Y.I.. There are many of these booster packs that come with much smaller battery clamps designed for power sport battery use.
Just from a visual reference it appears that the smaller circle on the right pic looks like it is lower or closer to the center axis of the larger cicles.Okay, I cropped the two pics above. What do you guys think?
I did notice that, but as I'm 99% sure the third pin doesn't perform any electrical function, I imagine I can make it fit.
Absolutely. I'm expecting them Friday. I'll post a little unboxing and review.
