« on: February 03, 2009, 03:17:46 PM »
 The other day was asked if you can jump start a motorcycle battery from a car battery.I answered good question they are both 12 volt but have no idea if you can or not.In the past before I needed a new battery just put it on the charger.Anyone have the right answer lol

We have jumped a bike from a car battery several times.  Sometimes the car is off and then a couple weeks ago we did it with a running car.  So it is doable.

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.
