I use the micro start also. I just have the xp-1.

I think 1 & 3 have the same output, no? Just different accessory cables.

I also have the XP-10. Just looking big to flop into the sled. 1/3 are perfect. Probably strong enough to jump my truck as well.

I jumped a Ford F 450 at -22 F with the XP-3. When I walked up to the truck the owner thought I was nuts. It worked on the frozen diesel though.

Thats crazy! I have been looking into getting one and should have bought one at the sno show...

Every rider needs this, IMHO. If not for yourself, maybe to help others.

I just bought one from Canadian Tire on sale for 79$ 500a should boost my truck too! Really light too, throw it in my backpack or jacket. Made by energizer. (Won't let me post picture)

The xp-1 and 3 are almost the same. I went with the one cause that what was recommended to me. I don't carry all the extra stuff when sledding I put the jumper with jump cables in a smaller case and keep them in my tunnel bag.

Do not buy the cheap no name brand ones. You risk having them explode. Most of these packs use LiPo batteries. The same thing quad copters, the now retired Samsung note 7, those hover boards...and all other exploding devices. I would stick with anti gravity or earthX. I bought the earthX one because of it being advertised as using LiFePo cells that do not have the issues LiPo cells have. If I were to do it again I would contact anti gravity and see what they use and possibly go with them. The earthX does work but I find it lacking in power. I have seen videos of the anti gravity ones starting trucks over and over before needing to be charged. I have used my earthX several times to start a v6 and each and every time it only has 1 bar of charge after the jump. (one time it had 2 bars left). Also do not leave the LiPo ones in hot cars. Do not over charge them, and do not drop them. Google Lipo fire to see what happens when large mah cells ignite. Note when Lithium burns it could care less how much o² is present. So don't think you will be putting it out till it has burned off. There is a topic about these packs in the viper thread someplace.
