My post was about how a 12Ah battery, when connected to the main battery like a jump pack, has enough power to start a car—not that the MB auxiliary battery can do it.

It seems like you're not getting my post. You can generate a substantially higher current for a short period of time using 12 Amps for an hour. For example, 12Ah is equivalent to 24 amps for 30 minutes, 48 amps for 15 minutes, 96 amps for 7.5 minutes, and so on. How much juice can a little jump pack...

It's not true that a car couldn't be started with a 12–13 Ah battery. Electric vehicle power surge protectors accomplish this. A starter would only require a couple of seconds of current greater than what a 12-amp-hour battery could supply. Actually, it wouldn't be able to do this over many cycles, ...

Haha, I'm surprised and delighted by it at the same time.

I was sceptical about how much I would enjoy this, but I am completely smitten. It has the handling of a hot hatch and the interior space of an SUV, making it much easier to park in tight spaces without sacrificing either. It's a zippy little car that gets 49mpg when you're driving. Incorporating st...

For the past five years, my better half has driven a Mercedes ML350cdi, and I must say, it is a beautiful, roomy, practical, fast, and reasonably priced vehicle. Problems with the diesel included a dreadful tax, an average of 25mpg while driving locally, and a sharp decline in her mileage. Additiona...

Is the weather being considered? The voltage may be affected if the battery has gotten cold overnight.
