Thought that I'd share this deal with everyone after the previous deal for a battery jump starter.

The benefit having this over a battery jump starter is:

• Can be placed in the car on a hot summer day ( up to 60C)
• No pre-charging required, charge off your dead battery or hook it up to a USB source or cigarette lighter.

Not sure how they would perform on diesel plugs as the glow plugs require a lot of energy…

I guess this eliminates the need for road side assistance if your car battery ever dies. NRMA charges about $80-100 per year for road side assistance, this would pay off in 2-3 years.

  Like the idea of these but will wait until they're cheaper.

  Snarking aside, the interesting part of this is the fact you can reportedly charge off a (nearly) dead battery, and use that to start the battery.

  Then it goes and says you can charge the capacitors in 45 seconds. Like 45 seconds of 5V USB is going to give enough grunt to turn over your starter motor.

  I have used a similar one - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300A-Jump-Starter-Maintenance-Fr…

  I have found it fiddly to use. (This model may be easier though).

  But it works! Have used it a few times on my car and others.

  It is quick to charge from another 12V (non-flat) battery. Slow (or very slow, ie > 5 minutes) to charge from USB or from the flat battery.

  The concept is easy enough: an engine start needs say 300A for say 3 seconds at 12V. That's 3Whr of energy. Even a flat car battery should have more than that available, but is not able to deliver the current needed to start the car. The flat battery (or any other source) can be used to charge up the capacitor. The capacitor can deliver the current needed.

  Looks like this particular model may have a built-in backup battery. Charging times shown here:

  I have a 300A cheepie. Had a flat battery, and it delivered enough to the battery to crank the motor (V8 petrol) - and being electronic ignition EFI etc it fired, even on a poor crank.
