When comparing the various pocket-sized 12000mAh lithium jump starters such as the Antigravity Micro Start XP-1, Weego JS12, Lil Lightening RP-2, PowerAny 12000, GooLoo GP01, the Energen EN-PJX6, istart, Dr. Auto, Jump Tiger and CarKu one might notice they tend to appear eerily similar. This is because, for all sakes and purposes, from the outside looking in, they are! The basic design

I just answered a question about a lead crystal battery at solarpaneltalk.com from Jon (aka Beanyboy57), and thought it was worth sharing.
Question: I have just recently heard about lead crystal batteries and read the 'data' presented on some websites which seems too good to be true. Claims of 7/800 cycles to 80% DOD. Does anyone have information on this type of battery or has used them for an extensive period?
Cheers
JonMy Thoughts: My first guess is that the battery is too expensive to manufacture and/or is not reliable. I remember a colleague of mine sharing a story about when they bought some battery technology from DuPont that would have revolutionized the industry. It was a fine hair like substance

ImpactBattery.com and several of our Goal Zero solar panel and battery products were featured on a segment of Living In Style called "I Gotta Have That". Hosted by Rhonda Castagna, the segment shows how cool and functional it is to use these Goal Zero products and underscored (not in a scary way) how easy it is to have them available in the case of unforeseen disasters like Hurricane Sandy, earthquakes and similar events.
We love these products because they are fun and easy to use for daily living, like when we go camping in our pop-top tent trailer (or even without) and do not have electrical hookups. Check this out:

We have noticed that the majority of Goal Zero customers seem to prefer purchasing through Amazon or via Goal Zero directly. Understandably, purchasing from the manufacturer direct or from a large multi-billion dollar company has its perks. However, purchasing from a company like Impact Battery that specializes in battery and chargers will enable customers to receive valuable tech support and unparalleled expertise (unlike Amazon) as well as money saving coupons that are not available from the manufacturer. Impactbattery.com also gives a portion of every sale to the charity of our customers choosing, at no cost to our customers. Spread the word and continue the cycle of giving!

This past weekend (July 22-24, 2011) I had the pleasure of taking my oldest son into the Siskiyou mountains of Southern Oregon and Northern California for some father/son time. We stayed in an old fire tower atop Bolan Peak nestled around 6200 ft amongst a handful of craggy peaks reaching around 7500 feet. The weather was perfect as we finally experienced summer like temperatures that had eluded
