would it jump start a car?

No. Starting a car requires 400-500 amps. The maximum output of the Yeti is 14 amps.

I used it to jump my Ford 5.0 V-8 and it worked. I forgot to plug it in to keep charging (you can leave the new ones plugged in all the time) and when i needed it again a month and a half later it didn't have enough power to jump the car. I plugged it in for 4 hours and not only jumped the car, but was able to use it as the battery while we did some repairs to the ignition system. It has plenty of power. There may be smaller amp jump starters that will work, but if they don't you may as well have nothing. This thing works.

Probably YES. It sounds like a defective item. Mine starts up whenever the power is turned on (the car is turned on) without any switch pushing or whatever.

The short answer is there's no way this battery would serve in an application for a car jump starter. It's designed to provide a very low current draw over many hours as a power failure backup. Any application for a car jump starter requires a massive current draw over a short time frame (seconds). I make no claim as an expert, but your application doesn't fit this battery.

Chances are it should work but you will most likely have to purchase another device so you can wire it into the ignition.

Not if you must have momentary power. The buttons on the fob are "click on, click off", and if your rear shocks are like mine, you could get to much air, to fast.

I don't know. I read the instructions and the porta jump wont help if the battery, starter or the generator is bad. it will only work if you left the lights on and the battery drained

If you set it on the ground next to your tire (I have an SUV), the air hose will reach half way up the tire.The cables are not very long, as you can set the jump start close to your battery, they are long enough to reach from the front of hood to the battery that is in the front.Hope that helps

I don't think anything that would have a plug on it would be heavy enough wire to jump a dead battery. If you meant to charge the battery so it will start (not have to hook it up and jump immediately without allowing other dead battery to charge) you might find one with two male ends or you could easily make one by cutting two inexpensive ones wires and making sure you align the positive wire (the one going to the middle pin on the male plug) to be positive. Keep in mind if you accidentally brush anything grounded in the care with that protruding point it could spart or short the fuse that often is in the male end or your fuse panel that is connected to your access point in either vehicle. Plugging it in like that would also require both power points in both vehicles to be on-so if it is not live when the key is not switched on it won't charge. The wires in these alligator clips is unusually heavy and would support higher voltage draw you might get with a totally dead battery on the other end. But if your wires in the vehicle are not sized that heavy you could risk fire or blow the fuse. A dead battery will draw heavily when first attached, especially if you activate the starter to try to start it, it could melt your wires or blow the fuse then. Good luck-

Yes it has the setting to jump start. Of course that comes with the caveat that you haven't drained the battery too far.

Yes. It will start mid song where it left off. It does take a minute or so for the unit to "boot" once the car is turned on.

This isNOT a jump starter. It's a maintainer and a darn good one. It puts out a max of 4.3 amps. You need 30 amps to jump start. If you put this unit on your TV all the time you won't need a jumper, and your battery will last a lot longer.

Yes, this is a 12VDC battery. It won't jump start your car, but will charge the car battery enough so your car will start. You leave it connected to the car battery for about 20 minutes then disconnect the Power Tank before starting your car, or it could damage the Power Tank. It doesn't have enough starting amps to jump start a car. It is great to use to charge your phones when the power goes out. It will run 2 telescopes for many hours when your out in the middle of nowhere. The led flashlight is awesome, but never use at a star party, or you won't be invited back, it is so bright.

No. This is a skinny little trickle charge cable and won't handle the big surge you need when you jump start. This cable is maybe 22 gage. Jumper cables are not llike 4 gage, much thicker.

it is a viper system, so if your starter is a viper model it should work, it is ready to be programed to your car.

I also have one on my bike. I have the alligator clip attachment for it. I don't see why it can't be used to jump start.

Not to run contrary to the folks providing all the technical expertise, but I have personally jumped my own car (4 cyl engine) from a rechargeable unit much less sophisticated than this AND plugged into the cigarette lighter/aux socket. Again, it was not this particular unit and, per the instructions, you had to wait several minutes. But it worked perfectly.
