694765 2008-08-04 13:49:00 car battery jump start/chargers that you plug into the cigarette lighter socket and it jump starts the flat battery of a car?

that would just blow fuses and probably proceed to set fire to things

DO IT!



just get a big heavy duty battery left on a maintenance charger and jump from that, or hook up your car battery to the charger and wait an hour . do it all the time when working on my bike as the bike battery won't last long whereas the truck one does

or buy a new car battery:rolleyes:

BTW SJ, vehicles don't really have a 'B+' voltage . . . t .
When the battery is flat (especially if it is raining), cars have many B things, and a fair bit of the rest of the alphabet too . Also, some believe that many vehicles are sons of b's on their bad days .

These new-fangled horseless carriages are much more noisy than horses, and I have to keep remembering not to knock down the bloke walking in front of me with the red flag!!!

694770 2008-08-05 05:54:00 A: The SelfCharge Auto Jumper uses 5 amps. The unit should be charged 12-24 hours when you first receive it. It should be re-charged after it has been used or after 6 months of non-use.

an hour's wait isn't a jump start, it's a recharge

but does sound plausible

694771 2008-08-05 09:22:00 i had a look inside one of the jump start packs (the ones that come with their own jumper leads built into them). its just a SLA battery connected straight to your car battery, ie no different to having a spare battery. tweak'e (69)
