A sense of security just by having it.

What was the deciding factor in your purchase?
Jump Starter is a safe and reliable tool! For reference … If you are a JAF member, you can do emergency starting work on public roads during the daytime. Free of charge If you are not a JAF member, the cost is 13,130 yen. If you are not a JAF member, you can get back the Jump Starter fee of Gold immediately. (*At night, the toll road will cost Gold even if you are a member.)

[How was the product?
BodySize is 140W×19H×77Dmm, weight 230g, and very compact. Diesel vehicles:1.5L or less. In addition to the Jump Starter, the Mobile Battery (USB output DC5V 2.1A) It can also be used as LED Light, SOS flashing, and Electronic flash flashing.

[Size, how was the weight?
Considering the time when I will be carrying it, the most important factors I considered were size and weight. The requirements were that it should fit in a compact Seat Bag, and that it should not be uncomfortable to carry in a Rick or Waist Bag. The soft case size of KD-237 is 120W×205H×60Dmm, and it fits perfectly in Henry beguineDH-708 and Alpinestars Canga V2. However, once the soft case is installed, there is no space left, so there is a limit to what can be put in the Others section.
The total weight of the JumpStart, including everything needed for the JumpStart, is 630g, which is a weight that will not tire you out even if you put it in your Rick Waist Bag and move it around. I tried it in the Alpinestars Canga V2 and found it to be not so heavy as to make me feel uncomfortable. I would say it is slightly heavier than a 500ml plastic bottle of water if you want to compare.

How was your experience with it?
The IndicatorLED for remaining battery capacity will be fully illuminated when the product has just been opened; as stated in the Instruction Manual, always fully charge and prepare the product before using it for the first time.
As a JumpStart test run, we will use a GROM with a 181cc NEO Bore Up Kit with a compression ratio of 11.5:1. My GROM is ported with KITACOReinforced Cell Motor and OEM Decompression to keep up with the high compression, but in the cold midwinter, the battery is weak and the engine is not able to keep up with the high compression. Ugh & hellip; ugh & hellip;" and Cell will not turn, and eventually Battery will sound off. (Failure to apply Engine will overload Battery, causing Battery voltage to drop all at once and preventing Engine from applying Engine.)
When we tried to connect the JumpStartCable to the battery terminal of the GROM, the battery terminal was too small and could not be clipped. When the JumpStart Indicator light came on, the cell was turned on and the GROMEngine with a compression ratio of 11.5:1 started up! Since the battery terminal of GROM is small, a little ingenuity was required. I thought so. (The Alligator Clip used in this case could be used for the Battery terminal of any car model!)
In addition, there are the order of terminal connections and starting conditions. The explanation here is too long, so if you are interested, please check the Instruction Manual available for download.
