Re: The new lithium-ion jumpstarters
Yes the heat of high current flow through the Lithium pack allowed the second test to provide much higher current in the Car Rover pack. The NOCO never recovered from the first test. Just went dead completely.
Also a pack in parallel with a wide enough voltage differential will flow current to the main battery. Never the less it likely not get it above 10.5VDC even if left connected for a while. But the source voltage need to be high enough to actually power the motor to turn otherwise being too low its just heat generated with the very low voltage of 4.5V which would not even engage the solenoid or chatter anyway (a good thing since this could burn out a starter motor). Keeping the voltage drop at a minimum is critical in any battery since the power is Voltage x Amps and of course the amount will vary widely which each vehicle. Having a big enough source ensures that it can boost even in adverse condition and even if not fully charged as they claim (X number of starts).
It might work in Florida or California where winter sub zero is never a concern. But both Canada and many parts of the USA temp as in this DEC were very cold. You pay your money for a booster that meets the real marketed spec's and must turn the specified vehicle engine over. Plain and simple, if not a waste of money and the presumed backup tool does not live up to its claim. A for the reviewer who bought them himself and provided the test info images help us weed out the chaff crappy OEM's and products. I know for fact that many sellers forums are limited in what and if a negative review can be added. Hence looking at even Canadian Tire. A Stanley Booster Pack (1000 Peak rated & 500 cranking Amps) pasted on the front is all wrong. I own one and never was able to boost any engine and had to use a different unit/source when needed. Read the small stick on the back and it says 500 for 3 sec and 300 cranking amps. Which may also be less when sub zero which was when the problem always occurred. Turns out Stanley doesn't even make the unit. Some company licensed the use of the name and put it on the unit. They are available under different names. A waste of money for sure on that unit which has a SLA 19AH battery in it.
Its important for us all to weed out the crappy unit and know when we part our hard earned money, that we are getting value and what we expect for it. Otherwise we just blown it on a expensive paper weight. Companies like Noco which are not up front and fail to disclose real spec's are hiding the facts and truth of inferiority and never meet their claim in the real world.
