Personally I'd avoid that and just recharge it if you aren't in a rush.
I once got a great deal on an ATV because the seller fried the battery and starter trying to jump it with a car booster pack. He was pretty frustrated and ready to deal after that. |

It doesn't matter at all. I've started motorcycles and the like with jump packs.

Wouldn't the defining factor be 12 volts? Motor will pull whatever amperage it needs.

I don't know what's 6v these days as I've avoided them for decades now. But you can get some sizzles using a 12v jump on a 6v system. Possibly or probably kill it, but maybe not. Know what you're doing and don't break your shit. |

Do you have a normal charger? I would try that first. If that does not work buy a new battery.
You did try charging it. Get a new battery. It is toast (dead). |

Sigh And why would you believe someone like that, if they didn't know what they were doing in the first place? They might have had polarity wrong, could've grounded the wrong line, etc. I once saw 2 idiots try to strip apart a pair of jumper cables because they thought one color went to one car and the other color to the other car  |

Yup, and current is pulled - not pushed OP - I've jump started motorcycles and mowers from my dual-battery diesel truck many times .... your little jump starter is fine! (I've used those too!) |

I think the only real risk is that too many charging amps can shorten the life of the battery or maybe even kill it.

Quoted: I have the mid level jump back from harbor freight (Viking 1700, quick plug on it- thing is a beast has done well by me on numerous occasions about 1.5 years old), is there any measurable risk to using a jump pack on a little 12AH quad battery? (2013 Honda Rancher 420 if it matters). It's been sitting. Got a dead battery that charging isn't bringing back. Would hate to fry an electrical something because I'm too lazy to wait for the battery change. Should be good though amiright?? Why "wait for the battery change"? Did you order a battery online? |

Would hate to fry an electrical something because I'm too lazy to wait for the battery change. Should be good though amiright?? The EFI Hondas won't run worth a shit without a good battery on them, especially if it's an ES or a DCT. The fuel pump and EFI system require good steady voltage to work correctly. Too much electrical bullshit on them. Running without a battery attached at all will fry your CDI or rectifier more often than not. You can jump it with a booster pack if you need to move it, but I wouldn't take it on a cruise until you put a new battery on it. I use jumpers and an Optima Red Top to jump Honda ATV's all the time as I'm moving old projects around the yard. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yea ordered a cheapo online. Cheapest I could find local was almost double. FYI I jumped it with the battery pack and no problems Yuasa is the OEM battery for Hondas and most Japanese machines. They're about $100 at Rockymountain ATV. The good thing about them is they are shipped dry with the liquid separate, so you can store them on the shelves for years and the lifespan doesn't officially start until you add the acid to the dry battery. Tusk batteries come the same way, and are ok (not as good as Yuasa, but better than the Weize/Mighty Max/ Chrome junk). GYZ16H is the same size as your factory battery with more CCA and weight.

You will be fine jumping it with a jump pack.
I manufacture powersports batteries for a living, so I do know a little. |

I jump my 12v lawn tractor with mine (the battery drains down if it sits for a couple weeks).
