A NOT so rediculous use of a B-7500

[Trvler]

I own a trucking company, and the trucks are for the most part 500HP road units. Recently I discovered the voltage on one had dropped below the amount required to start the engine. The truck was parked in a location that made it impossible to bring another truck close to. I knew the little B-7500 could get close the battery box on the road unit, but I was unsure if the alternator on the 7500 could bring the four big batteries in the road unit to the proper voltage within a reasonable amount of time. I hooked them up and figured I would be leaving the Kubota to run for at least an hour. NOPE! I checked the big trucks voltage immediately and discovered it was up enough to give it a try. The truck started right up. I will now use the Kubota as a mobile battery charger for the big trucks, along with it's standard duties.

i would use anything for anything ina jam but that little alt unit is around 400us maybe it would benefit you to get one of the better jumper batterys for around 100us and they work very well i jump every thing from t1460 lawn mowers to m9000 4wd cab tractors and they can get in even smaller places
