Do you have any examples of that, and what the set up with wiring etc was?
Usually those will be portable chargers with a start/boost setting for getting a car started with a low battery.
Aha, never thought of that as what he meant. Of course there are many with the high rating for starting but a much lower one for battery charging.
That does not count, since the buyer is not being misled as implied, but is expected to read the label. Bogus claim!
Actually all the converters I have played with do a few more amps than their rated amps when connected with proper wiring.
