R1250GS Booster Power pack

[Santa-2512]

Anyone come up with novel ways to store these on the bike , even 3d printed. Don't want to take up space in the top box if can avoid it

Its a GS, you dont need to be rocket scientist

I have mine stored in a small tool box attached to the pannier frame, very handy and locked away.

Mine is Lidl. Also has a compressor built in. Every couple of months I give it a charge. Probably shouldn’t but that’s me. JJH

which bike? Do you have any other luggage space? I have a small bag that has the power pack, tyre pump and a few other bits and bobs. Takes up a small portion of the larger pannier on my V85TT Travel.
If you have limited capacity, maybe a small waterproof bag from someone like Lomo that clips to the handle bars, crash bars or on top of the topbox? Assuming you have an overnight bag in the topbox, sling this bag in the topbox at your hotel parking.

I think I might work on a printed design there's room for something here that can be hidden away securely maybe behind the reg or something a bit funky. Thinking cap on .

Noco sell a lead to permanently fit to the battery that plugs into the booster instead of the leads which is a handy addition. GB20 spins my tc over very well, but the GB40 that’s the same dimensions will start a 3 litre diesel if needed.

A GS With a battery voltage of less than 12volts will not start due to the ecu. It is not a case of the battery is not capable, the ecu stops it to protect itself. All you need is the voltage to be higher than than the ecu switches off and you are away. So a cheap device is more than adequate. Rules change if the original battery is heavily discharged.

I have a Noco GB20 that recently started a hybrid Hyundai Tucson battery that was as dead as a Dodo (less than 2v). It also started my Honda Civic 'Soviet tractor' diesel soon after buying it. I take it on tour.

Not shore a bout the ecu protecting itself with a voltage of less than 12volts ,
My 2021 1250 gs only shows 11.4 volts on the TFT and fires up first push of the button
