jump-start...

#1 Unread post by spinner »

Do you think a motorcycle can jump start a cage? I just noticed my cabin light has been on for god knows how long and now my car won't start. I was thinking of hooking it up to my bike, but I'm afraid it may zap the life out of its battery. I don't want to wake the neighbors...

Compare the size of the two batteries. Don't be mean to the little fella.

I kinda doubt your bike battery has enough amps to crank over a car engine... Compare ratings, but i'm w/ Minty on this one.

Can a AA power my dewalt cordless drill?

I guess it depends on the size of your car. If it's not legal for US roads... maybe?

It was just a thought. I ended up getting a jump today from one of my neighbors.
