I pulled the trigger on the XP-10 version, should have it before the Big Bear trip. I'll post my opinion on it in a few weeks.

awesome, we can dead short Scotts truck and see if it will restart it
 
I got an xp10 at the overland expo, could have gotten it cheaper from amazon! I have not had the need to try it out yet on my Cummins Dodge.
 
I'll be purchasing the XP10 on Amazon next week.. hoping to have it in time for my upcoming trip.. Just so I can play with a new toy while we're camping..
 
Mine showed up at the house today, will have to see how it works this weekend...report to follow!
 
Quick rundown, I picked up the xp10 about a year ago, it's handy with kids with devices, dirt bikes with batteries, I have kicked over the land cruiser twice and it worked way better than diggin in the truck for jumper cables. amazon was my point of purchase.
 
I'm suitably impressed!

My Jeep and my Duramax have been sitting in the driveway unused for the last month, batteries were run down on both (deliberately) so I could test the XP-10. Took it out of the box, checked the charge, it was 4 bars out of 5, hooked it up to the Jeep (vehicle battery wouldn't even click the starter solenoid) and the XP-10 fired it up no problem! Went over to my Dmax, hooked it up to the starter battery, no luck, wouldn't crank the engine, hooked my conventional jumper box to the other battery (54% charge on jumper box, which has never impressed me much), and together they fired the truck with no issues.

Jury is still out on whether or not it will fire the truck up on it's own, but I'm a believer that the product is worth it's price whether it does or not.

The case is a little smaller than a 3 ring binder, battery jumper cable adapter, numerous adapters, USB cord, mini USB cord, and an iPhone 5/iPad adapter, 120v charger, and a 12v charger for the battery pack itself.

There is no 12v adapter socket, reading the instructions, it is not recommended for deep cycle use.

The web-site claim was it would jump diesel's up to 8 litres, the instructions say 6 litres.

Interesting report Bob. Your dmax is a 6.6 liter, right? Wonder how my 5.9 would do.. I guess I may find out soon. Although my batteries aren't dead at this point, and I fire up the truck and run it every weekend...
 
Dale, you are a master story teller, I'm looking forward to the tale!:cool: Depending on the camp sites/space, we may join you at #28 if you'll have us!

Keep in mind it wasn't fully charged for this test, and I used it to start the Jeep first. My conventional jumper box is a POS, it's Duralast 900A model, impulse purchase, I'm on #3 because the other two were junk. If I had a boat I'd use the damn thing for an anchor!

That's what git me looking at the xp10 in the first place. My jumper box has been sitting in my build up dead, and I plugged it in and it never charged up, and won't do anything, so I decided I needed something else. The xp10 seems to fit the bill nicely.
 
I put a junk Optima in my truck on the starter side battery (they parallel with ignition on), hooked the XP-10 up... it clicked the starter, but wouldn't crank it. I still think it's worth the price ...Amazon $125, not sure it's worth the website price of $209 for it. I say that based on the $90 I paid for the boat anchor it is replacing.

Of course it's value will increase every time it saves my butt.

I ordered my xp 10 today, along with another $400 in amazon goodies.. sounds like it'll do the job.
 
Dang that was lightning fast shipping....
