The ability to charge a smartphone or device battery is a valuable benefit, especially for those whose jobs require a laptop and long hours behind the wheel.
SUPER START POWER PACK 1000 IS DEAD... FULL
Stowed in a glove box or map pocket, rechargeable lithium batteries can (theoretically) retain a full capacity charge for up to three months for reserve engine starting power. It was 24 degrees when we hooked the coil wire back up to the distributor and had at it. Battery voltage read about 11 volts by the time turning the ignition key brought nothing but the dreaded click. The following day, we disconnected the ignition coil wire and killed the battery by cranking over the Starlet’s carbureted 1.3-liter 4-cylinder peanut grinder with the lights on. We topped off the battery with a charger and let it sit overnight. The 1982 Toyota Starlet had a 5-year-old battery that passed the load test and held 10 volts for 15 seconds. Battery voltage varied slightly through the jump start attempts, hovering in the 10-11 volt range. Electronic fuel injection means the Starion's engine usually starts on a single starter crank, so by the numbers the jump starters should be fit to do the job. The battery failed a load test and couldn’t budge the cold, thick oil in the Starion’s turbocharged 2.6-liter 4-cylinder. The 1987 Mitsubishi Starion had a nearly 10-year-old battery that barely held 12 volts after a month in the frigid cold.
