The BEST way to avoid a dead motorcycle battery...

- I have been asked a lot about the jump pack I carry and Mrs. Monkey suggested I do a "do over" on all of the charging stuff I use to keep the "fleet" ready to roll at any moment. I only use Noco stuff to charge up my bikes, maintain my batteries and hands down they make the best jump pack. I never leave home without it. Here is all the stuff of theirs I have bought, how I use it, and where to get it. (I got all of mine off their Amazon web store.) The links are below:
Noco: Jump Pack 1250 Amp ($125): amzn.to/3TdL9B7
Noco Jump Pack Case ($18): amzn.to/3rNHuOL
Noco Adapter Connector for Jump pack and charger to Battery ($33): amzn.to/3SVNNeZ
Noco 10 foot extension for Smart Charger ($30): amzn.to/3TiAxB3
Noco Smart Charger (Normally $125, on sale for $75): amzn.to/3yyCYra

I keep a jump pack in my truck and here a while back I was going to dump something out of my dump trailer and the battery was down so hook up my jump pack and I was able to unload my dump trailer with out having to do it by hand. They are great to have around.
I bought one after watching your last video on the noco jump pack. I had to use it to jump my GF car and she was impressed by how good it was that she ordered one for her to keep in her car and then she had to jump start someone’s car at the store and they were impressed by it she said they looked it up on amazon and ordered one as well
and they told two friends.. LOL...
@@patmanruls 😂probably
I jumped on the NOCO bandwagon after the last video you did.. Just ordered the GBX75 (2500A) boost box for my Ram Diesel. Got the GBX45 for the bike and my Jeep. Everything has the NOCO battery leads for easy connections, because when it's 30 BELOW up here in the Little Siberia, NY, AIN'T NOBODY got time for THAT SHIT!! Also got the Genius 10 Charger and have recovered THREE deep cycle batteries that I was going to TRASH!! Awesome products and I'm currently awaiting delivery of the battery for my scoot!!!
thanks for the links! was looking for a jump pack with the dongle
Jump box,tire plug kit and air compressor is always in my bags
When I saw your first video about NOCO I bought it right away I charged it in March took it off my bike today still 50%. Had it on me in September my 1500 mile trip around New England.
(Of Course)
Your spots are not only informative but fun to watch. Thank you
Glad you like them!
So happy to have found your channel. You're saving lives my friend 😎
Glad to help
@@ProfessionalMonkey Actually, follow up on this. I'm going to get everything you mentioned and replace my battery tender setup (that came with HD). Not sure what I'll come across for my 16 FXDL, but I'd imagine I could, simply put, route it and zip tie it like the previous tender was configured? (sorry if this sounds stupid, I just want it to look clean, fit inside the battery cover, and not flapping around or on hot components because those wires look a lot thicker)
Being a professional battery killer myself, I might have to shell out for a couple of dongles, a charger and jump pack. I can even see setting our snowplow ATV and the riding mower to use the Noco system. Thanks for putting this info out there.
Hope you two enjoyed Biketoberfest and looking forward to coverage videos.
I've used mine to jump start the Tundra. You will be pleased with it.
In the marketing material for the harness they even have a picture of an ATV, so you're definitely on the right track.
But again, nothing magical about it, it's just surprising that not more manufacturers make this harness, and that Harley doesn't sell it when it's compatible with their jumpbox (which is just a rebranded Noco).
OK, your wife is hilarious! Great info, think I'll buy some of the items you listed. Thanks
If you purchase the Noco gbx 45 make sure you also buy at least a 65w usb type c wall adapter and a usb c to usb c cable so you can charge the GBX 45. They also make the cigarette lighter adapter as well for it but not as quick to recharge. Anker makes a good quality that’s compact and not as expensive as the noco version.
I got ALL that stuff when you mentioned it years ago. They are AMAZING!! Then I got the Lexin tire inflation system. I'm set!!
What do you have to say about the Lexington pump? I have been pondering about getting.
@@haroldblanton1555 takes up less room and works great!
I'm glad you made this video. I was about to go searching for the previous video you did about the jump pack!!
I bought it last year for my Street Glide to be prepared if I would need it but till now I had only used this application two times for my wife her car!
Nevertheless, it' s great stuff and I don't wanna miss it! 👍
She hears music in her head 24/7... always ready to dance
I've got 3 battery tenders and they work great. One on the boat. One on the bike. One on the 2nd car. I do like that big-arsed pigtail though if i ever need to jump start a dead battery on the road.
Yup, I thought about having a battery pack in my tool kit about a yr ago and so I bought an HD pack and thought I really don't want to take my seat off and all the other shit covering the battery so I checked NOCO for a pigtail and they did have one and had it installed so no worries now I keep the pack charged every two months.
Great information PM! I have 4 of those same jump starters but didn’t have that “Dongle” the one that stays connected to your battree, ordering one today though, so thanks for sharing. 🤙🍻
NOCO makes the HD one. This has saved me a couple of times.
Ms. Monkey is a keeper !
Agreed!
My 2017 Road Glide Ultra turns 5 year old and I still have the OEM battery. When I’m not riding it’s on the tender. But I think it’s time for a dongle! Good info much appreciated! Keep the ugly side up!
Same story. 2017 RG Spl, original battery. But is plugged in when I’m not riding it.
Bought a the Jump pack after the earlier PM video and keep it in the saddle bag. I’m going to get a dongle now and hook that to the battery.
Hi da Monk
I have the same jump pack.
I have used it to start my 2. L diesel van.
With a very low battery.
Ok almost dead battery a few times.
Good thing to learn about since the MidWest season is coming to yet another end...
Great video Monkey! Of course it was Mrs Monkey's idea, smart lady :)
got it and it has saved me and others around from having to try and push start heavy ass bikes. lol
Good vid Sir. I’ll have to check into these.
Have a keyless ignition set up on the bike, so I put a toggle switch where the key went and just kill the power coming from the battery... Haven't had any issues until the stator went bad
Hopefully I can catch u at Daytona or else where next year start of summer. Was about 9 TH-cam people I watch all at Daytona I could have met. Get radioative zapping Thursday for 6 months. Then it will be spring and hope the frigging doctors give me my license back. Hope u had a wild time in Daytona.
I looked into these products as well, -- the only issue I had was the size of the plug/wiring-makes it hard to use with such devices as a "Air-tire pump" that utilizes the "standard version plug. I am sure an adapter can be made up as well. Thanks for the info.
You can also leave the other pigtail on there as well, that's what I did for that sort of stuff.
@@ProfessionalMonkey Great Idea--thanks again
My Noco has been a life saver a few times to some of my cheap friends not willing to shell a little extra for a battery and such. Lol 😁
I've been riding mine with a dead battery for a year.if it's not on the compression stroke it still has enough power to spin a half a revolution and fire up,if it's in the compression stroke it won't do anything but click so I turn off the key, put it in 3rd or 4th, roll it backwards and let off the clutch to spin it off the compression stroke then keep the clutch in, turn on the key,hit the button and it's spins enough to start and go.I figure I can get an extra couple years out of a battery using this technique, like I said, it's been a year like this and still going strong.gen 3 klr by the way.
I’ve got the smaller one and it’ll jump everything I have in my driveway. I used it to jump an F250. I will say that if you store it in a hot car too long, it will kill the charge. That was my bad though. I knew better than that.
Hey if you ever gotta change your battery consider the Renegade 600cca battery I love them and the 131 starts so much easier with it
great information to know , i'll be checking into getting everything.i'll be ridig out of Michigan next week heading to Florida for a week. great video 👍
Hey Monkey, love your channel man. I went out and purchased three of the chargers/maintainers you recommended and one of the jump packs. I tired purchasing the 18.5 inch connectors, the GBC007s, but they are currently out of stock everywhere I look. Once I got the chargers/maintainers, I noticed that you can disconnect the the clamps off the cable so you can use the rings to permanently install them for charging. My question, is do I really need the 18.5 connector or can I jump the batteries if necessary by just connecting the jump starter to those cables? I can’t seem to find that addressed anywhere in the instruction manuals. Thanks, Greg
Great info, sadly, amazon jumped the price to 99.99 after you posted this ( their algorithms are brutal ) 😂
Do you carry an air compressor if so which one?
Thanks for the Nocco discussion it helped me feel confident in my purchase
Had to be in Southern Maryland and missed Daytona. Maybe in the spring.
I bought a Tacklife 2000, capable of jump starting up to a 7L diesel engine.
El Buffalo said in his vid that you do your own installs but i knew that was a lie. we all know the Mrs does them. lol. he showed some of the pictures from Sturgis. a few was when you all was on that bus and the Mrs was singing Journey lol. it is a good song lol. is she always serenading you with songs? good vid man
Good video brother.
Much appreciated
Great subject information we all need Thanks
*sometimes * if your battery is too dead for Battery Tender to start charging, you can hook a good battery in parallel to trick the tender into starting, and disconnect it once it gets passed the "analyzing" step.
In a pinch.
You said that’s your life, then your pretty damn lucky!!!
A happy Wife a happy life !
Thanks for posting
If you need to replace a battery in a newer Harley what do you go with? The heat it here in Arizona just kills them in a couple years.
Check out antigravity battery they have a built in start mode when battery is dead
Storage time here in NH... Some may say (and the wife says it all the time) a bit premature... but work schedule right now .. (Its our busy season) dictated I put the bikes up.
Ya.. Bikes.. ( I now have 2) are in the Storage Shed (offsite) but the batteries are here in the warm confines of my abode. (no garage for this blue collar New Hampsherite... yet).. I bought a "Battery Tender" (2 bank--- 2 batteries) to maintain my still alive enclosed energy storage units but that jump starter set up might be something to consider once the (not yet... but to soon to come) snow .. (UGGGGG! I said it!) melts away and we can resume 2 wheel debauchery.. (in 2023)
Ride Safe!! Behav....... naaaa ENJOY Life!! GO FOR IT!
The HD branded version is 1000 amp…and is slightly more expensive the the NOCO but was in stock at my local dealer when Amazon and NOCO were out!
I have a schumacher 1000a from wally world , and a tender just in case , they work great ,
The dongle that you pulled off your wife’s bike, would you show us how you mounted it? Did you pull the seat to do so?
Yep, you have to pull the seat and the ECM tray underneath to get to the positive and negative terminals on the battery.
Thank you.
great channel and i am a murderer of batteries... I'm that friend
Love your content
Since you have multiple bikes to maintain over the winter, do you have multiple genius packs, or just rotate it around to bikes on a schedule while they being stored?
Thankfully not a problem. I live in Florida so no need.
Haha. The joys of living in the south. We are up in Vancouver, so get about 7 months of riding before having to park the bikes. Just installed the dongles on to our 2 bikes. Glad I did it now before hitting the road for a 9 day road trip. I would hate to have to do that with the seat off on the side of a hwy. The UL wasn't too bad to connect up, compared to the sportglide! I had to pull the battery out, just to be able to get my fingers on the screw down connectors. Anyways, thank you for recommending these products, and they are now on both our bikes, and I have the jump pack in the saddle bag! Plan to pick up one of the genesis chargers for winter storage, instead of using the tender.
Keep making these videos! Cheers from north of the border!
Not only a good idea on the bike but also for anyone whom you love cars. My wife will be be out in the grocery store parking lot looking for someone to jump start her car. She has a power pack. Same with the daughter. It’s just good insurance.
The 40 was on sale a few days ago
I am new to the Motocycle world and grew up listening to my MOM (Motocycle Owner's Manual). Any ways according to MOM the HD battery should only be charged and trickle charger 5 amps or less. Is there any harm using the recommend 10 amp (NOCO Genius 10).
I’ve never had a problem?
Hey Pro Monk, do you know if J&S Jacks is still in business. I finally broke down and purchased the jack set up that you have. Ordered it July 15th and still haven't received anything. Last message I received was August 16 that I should see it within 3 weeks. That puts it to me around September 6th or so. I didn't know if you may have a different number to reach them than the toll free number I've been calling or perhaps a different name to leave message for?
They are in business but incredibly slow. I would call them!
They also have an adapter to work with harleys existing charging plug
Yeah but the issue is the stock tender cable isn’t strong enough to jump a bike. It will melt that line.
@@ProfessionalMonkey didn't know that! Time to order a dongle! Thanks for the info
@@ProfessionalMonkey did you completely remove the stock battery tender lead to replace with the dongle?
Will that 1250 jumper really jump the diesel?? I’ve got a powerstroke and want a jump box to carry in it. I want to get enough juice but don’t want to pay for more than I need.
Supposedly, but they make even stronger ones.
I ride most every day but on off days like rain I'll put bikes on trickle charger. Is that really necessary ya think?
Can u show us how you have the cable connected and run on a bike please sir.
Got a question. Where do you mount the plug in end of the dongle for easy access? Recently picked them up and going to install.
I just tuck it behind the oil tank.
@@ProfessionalMonkey oops. I was referring to on a Road Glide.
@@jessejames3944 ohhh… I would just tuck it behind the side cover.
@@ProfessionalMonkey thank you sir.
Are you talking about TODD?
love it
Monk, I’m not a fan of the Noco brand. I bought one of those battery tenders of theirs that’s multi-function. Anyways, two years after my ownership the damn output electrical cord insulation started to crack at the stress points and exposed the conductor. They used extremely cheap pvc coated wires or something…not impressed. I rewired the damn thing and it still works, but I would feel like an idiot to buy more of their product. Just my opinion.
Sorry yours sucked. No issues here yet.
MR. MONKEY. I can't find the type of dongle you have can you help me. What brand and model is it, any info would be greatly appreciated.
There is a link to it in the video description.
Where would you recommend running the dongle to for ease of connection? Just leave it all under the seat or where?
Mine drops down and out the right side for easy access
Will the NOCO jumper ,… jump lithium ???
I don't see why not. The problem is putting the wrong kind of trickle/maintainer on them.
What was the wall charger u uses that wasn't in the links
Bought a noco genius 5 last year, not even a light when plugged in this year
As in it doesn't work anymore?
Do you have it hooked to a battery?
I am also like his friend 🙌
I bought the NOCO and replaced it twice… didn’t work. Wasn’t meant to be…just want to reach out and share.
Weird. I wonder what it was?
I need a link for the charger
Hi! It’s in the video description…
Can you get a 6 volt version of the genius charger or will it also charge 6 volt batteries?
That I don’t know… sorry.
Yup ,three years and the little buggers need replacing those trickle chargers are not durable .
I use a CTEK
If you have the charger / jump pack , then your friends don't need to buy it ha ha , what are friends for?
I had the dealer turn that useless strand your ass HD security system off. Battery life jumped from one year to five without a Tinder.
Is that a real truck in your driveway?
A ram!!!!!!!!!!!
Tow off mofo… 😂
@@ProfessionalMonkey only if I get to use my 04 quad cab lol
😂
Aren't you so lucky
👍🤙🍺
You are a nerd! LOL!
🤓
She's pretty hott congratulations
Aren't we all your idiots? I mean, I know my place.
Easy solution ride your bike regularly
Oh ok. Thanks, never thought of that. I bet the people in upper Michigan have never thought of that either through their arctic winter, or those whose battery is just old.
Or there are those of us who work away from home for extended periods of time and would really enjoy it if the bike starts when we do get home for a ride. I wish I had the problem of riding mine on the regular.
@@ProfessionalMonkey THIS. Close to a foot of that damn fluffy white stuff on the ground in northern MI per a buddy. And I had snowflakes hitting the windshield going over the mountains her in PA this morning.
Riding season may have a few nice days left but it's ending quickly up in snow & broad salt country. Nobody who cares for their bike is going to ride it with that crap on the road, so most are already on a tender until spring.
