Of course it would not work - as you said the car's battery was stuffed internally. As indicated above the device will not start a car dorectly it recharges the car battery enough to start the car - if the car battery is stuffed (internally as you indicated) then they do not work.

No where do they claim they will start a car directly.

I am not sure where garrycol read that it is designed to "recharge the car battery enough to start the car". In the "spec" you posted I saw the following bits as you did:

"...... Jump Starter!!!"

" Help car start ... No Need To Connect the Original Car Battery'

".... Common Single function jump starer"

".... It can start car 20 times.The capacity of battery bigger than 1 new car Only can started about 10 times"
(man - what does that mean - that it is better than the original battery in the car ??)

" It can start the car in -40 So........"

The person that had purchased the item I saw sincerely believed from the packaging that it would jump start his car and he carried it in his boot for that reason. I still dispute it would even work to "top up" a slighty dscharged battery but there is no point turning this into a techical discussion - that is not the subject of this thread - this particular battery had gone high internal resistance (very high!!) so that would not have worked anyway. Plan B (normally plan A) was some jumper leads and another car.

There are many people that look at this forum that could unfortuately be caught the same way and for that reason this thread (except for that particular post) is informative and not derogatory as they should be. Many good knowlegable people with real experience have stopped posting because of such comments and that is a real loss to the forum.

Is your "quote" on operating instructions correct? The price seems wrong as well.

This aussie link indicates it is a charger. Also the video above shows it will not start an engine until it has a bit of time to put some charge back into the engine battery. There are versions that plug into the cigarette lighter.

The link function does not seem to be working - her is the URL http://www.batteriesdirect.com.au/shop/product/23914/mjs2046.html

Hi Garry
The "quote"is a direct copy & paste from the Chinese site
The $36 is US dollars

Now your link is only a charger
No mention of battery
A battery would be required separately , for IT to be a jump starter unit
Unless it is real clever,& can charge the low crank battery from the vehicle cig lighter socket!!!

Hi Garry

The "quote" is a direct copy & paste from the Chinese site
The $36 is US dollars

Your link one is only a charger

Unless it is very clever & can charge the low starter battey from the vehicle cig socket
Is THAT what you are suggesting??


PeterQ

You are obviously looking at a different link than I am - the one I put up has a battery in it.

I am not suggesting anything - there are other versions of this sort of thing that provide a charge to the cars battery via the cigarette lighter.

They have been around for quite a few years.

Peter

They still list the thing as a "jump starter" and in the list of items show "5. Car Jump Starter Leads". The notes at the bottom are clearly a translation, and specifically state "support 12V car jump start".

All with a 12Ah battery ???

Sort of takes away the credibility of the company sellling it - just the fact that they would. I would hate to be stuck out in the middle of the bush and relying on that to save me.

I find it unethical that Australian companies would sell this when the product is not what it is claiming to be - even stretching the truth I cannot see how it could "jump start" a car.

Ken

Hi Garry
Are you really suggesting that you can charge the car battery, from one of these thing by using IT to charge the car battery[ using the car's cig socket for the charger???

And I used YOUR link!!
WHERE does IT show a battery??[in that little wallet????}
IT is just a CHARGER.


THE one in the video does have a small battery
But is not claimed to start the car 20times

Yes, you are correct jump starter packs have been around for many years, but they do include a reasonable sized battery
This thread is not about those ,it is about the one Ken posted!!!

PeterQ

Hi
Edit to above
This thread is not about those ,it is about the one Andrew posted

PeterQ

Peter as I said - read the description and all the information in the link - it contains a 12a/hr battery.

And no, I am not talking about the large power packs which can jump start a car in their own right.

Devices similar to the one the subject of this thread have been around for a few years - when tested in product reviews they work BUT only if the car battery is in good condition but flattened but not dead.

If you don't want to use it - then don't.

Its quite impractical but for a demo I once started a car with a pack of AA cells.

This was using the charge up your car battery method.

A car start only requires 1 to 2ah for a car in good condition.

I used and used to carry a Nicad 12v AA battery pack ( holds 10 AA cells ) and used 1.5v alkaline batteries in it (2.5AH) .

This means it would dump charge into car fairly fast with approx 15v.

As I said , bit of a joke , but fun demo.

Today though I carry an 18AH gel cell which can be plugged in close to car battery with anderson plug.

This works seriously better and could even cope with a car battery with a part damaged cell.

Hi Robin
Yes, you are quite correct

The Actual Amphrs used to crank a car is quite low, but the POWER required is quite high

In the order of 1200 PLUS Watts,[12Vx 100A] over ONE horsepower

If the battery cannot supply that amount of POWER for a few seconds then it cannot start the engine

Seems the link you get to is different to the one I get to using the one that Garry posted - that is why I see what I put in the previous post about "They still list the thing as a "jump starter" and in the list of items show "5. Car Jump Starter Leads". The notes at the bottom are clearly a translation, and specifically state "support 12V car jump start."

You seem to be seeing something different ??

If you go to batteriesdirect.com.au and if you select the link Jump Starters in left hand column this item is listed top left (at least as I see it doing it that way). Also here on eBay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Portable-Jump-starter-/321137126648

Similarly the link Sidewinder put in the thread I just see as a big black square (using Internet Explorer) but if I use Google Chrome I see the video.
