A FIVE POUND Odyssey AGM battery has one hundred CCA. (100).
Pray tell, what miracle chemistry are they using in the handy-dandy five pounds total including compressor, lights, siren, boombox, telephone wire size jumper cables, and art deco case?
Dilithium Crystals?
Motor vehicles with GEAR REDUCTION starter motors require about forty percent of the amperage of conventional straight drive starters. A 1700 CC four cylinder toad engine with gear reduction starter makes for a poor reference.
The specs for my Zeta Pocket Battery Jump Starter:
Dimensions: 5-1/8" x 3" x 1"
Weight: .66 lbs.
Output: 5 Volts, 2 Amps; 12 Volt Jump Starter
Full Charging Time: 3 hours
Starting Current: 200 Amps
Peak Current: 400 Amps
Operating Temperature: -4F to 140F
And it easily started my previous coach's Ford 460 when the chassis battery would only illicit that "click" that makes you say, "Oh, oh". My model does not have a compressor, but it does have an LED flashlight and will power or charge multiple USB devices for quite a few days before needing a recharge.
Love the concept of the Jacko but check out the recall.
