Yes it can I have this very battery running my car now and had the 800 in my trunk. But yes this battery is capable of running the car just fine.

Yes. I use it to charge/maintain a car battery everyday. It might recharge a battery but it would take a long time if it was discharged.

I would say no. A starter on a motorcycle would require more amps than this battery is capable of. I also woukd guess the charging system amperage would be more than the 2A trickle charge that is normally used for this type of battery.

Generally... NO! If the battery has some charge left in it, the fifty additional amps may be enough to start the car. If the battery is totally dead, you will need to charge the battery for a while. Don't forget that the "cranking" current is several times 50 amps, hence the availability of the chargers on wheels that can supply this kind of current. Dave

Yea you could but I could tell you this bro the battery has like good 1 in all around so it move around..best bet is to use the stock battery holder from a honda civic and just drill out the holes to where you want.. Like the trunk like I did

No. It's meant for charging and maintenance and only has the options of 2,4 and 8 amps. There is no mention in the manual of using this for jump starting. I don't think the wiring could deliver that amount of current. I have a 40 year old charger starter that I use for jump starting and a portable Schumaker mity-mite as well for that purpose.

If you have an AC outlet in your vehicle you should be able to do it. I would recommend having the vehicle running, so as not to drain your battery. It only operates on AC.

No sir, this is not that kind of a power supply. But, you Can buy battery chargers, (a type of power supply), that will start automobiles. Just search for 'Battery Chargers' in Automotive.

If I understand your question correctly, no. If your car battery is really old and totally bad and incapable of holding a charge, I don't think this will work. It works great for a still good battery that has run down due to leaving something on

Yes you can use a standard car battery but I would recommend using a marine battery because it will last a lot longer. Probably about 4 to 5 hours.

Yes you can; depending on what you plug in to it, the battery may drain quickly. E.g. a light bulb may be 60 watts; a microwave or toaster oven 1000 watts. Car batteries don't produce a lot of power; marine batteries are a little better. With the battery in the car, you can run the engine as a generator and re-charger.

That is what we purchased it for, however I'm not sure if it every car works that way, you should check your manual. We have a Prius and the ignition battery died so we used this and a jump start rechargable battery kit to start the car.

Yes, as long as it is electric start - otherwise there is another kit that includes a battery. Thanks. Ginger

Yes you can. No different than a stock OEM battery as far as the functionality is concerned.

No. You will need a battery that can take a charge. Starters need 400 + amps.

Yes, I bought this battery for precisely that purpose. It starts the generator just fine.
