I have one, they can be handy. If the battery has been drained very low and sat that way, the battery has likely suffered permanent damage and may have a significanly reduced service life.Hello all,
The pandemic has stuck me at home since March and of course my 2008 451 passion is doa.
Has anyone tried one of those lithium battery portable jump starters? Are they worth it and can they hurt my car?
Thank you for enlightening me.I have two. The lithium battery ones work well. I have a super capacitor one that works great. It can charge itself from a battery that’s too weak to start the car and discharge it all at once to start the car. It works really well!
Yeah, I bought a Lithium ion one a couple years ago and it really doesn’t hold its charge that long.Thank you for enlightening me.
I had no idea that they had Super Cap. Jump starters. Watched a few videos on them. Wow..
I did not like having to remember to charge my jump starter every few months.
So long lithium battery jump starters. Super Cap. For each car now.
Need Help on locating the Super capacitor one you are speaking ofI have two. The lithium battery ones work well. I have a super capacitor one that works great. It can charge itself from a battery that’s too weak to start the car and discharge it all at once to start the car. It works really well!
Is halo battery based or super capacitor?...look into the features of Halo...
jetfuel...always charged
So, I'm guessing the simple answer is All Battery Based....look into the features of Halo...
jetfuel...always charged
Well no it wasn't completely discharged still showed 80%. It had never been completely discharged in the year I owned it.My dad has one of those that’s from Schumacher and I’ve used it a few times and it’s yet to have let us down.
I have had to use it on the smart once and man it’s convenient to not have to get out to boost your car off.
Otherwise it’s been used on my scooter a few times.
It’s a lithium one and it packs a punch for it’s size.
Definitely been worth the money.
Btw the reason why jo’s unit swelled like that is due to completely discharging it.
I’ve seen that in r/c hobby vehicles(that can turn bad quick as lithium batteries don’t like that one bit)
