I just returned from Costco with two 6V, 200+Ah batteries for a whopping $140 each. Ten dollars for the core but I have two to take back to them so I'll get that back. Not bad at all - especially if they do what I hope they do for our little Mac.
And then I saw this USB power pack gizmo touted as an Emergency Car Starter/Jumper Pack for $70. I grabbed it brought it home so I could get some help with the math from you all. It says the capacity is "Up to 8000mA (3.7V)". It has two USB output charge ports, one 2.4A & one 2.1A and a 12V Jump Start circuit with a start current of 200-350A. Would this serve as emergency peace of mind for me deciding to forego a dedicated starter battery? Well, not peace of mind....but it'd save me the removal of the four screws covering the emergency pull start on the engine.
Or should I take it back?
