6 V Lithium Jump Start?
I really wish some company made a 6 volt power pack for easy jump starts...like the nifty 12 volt portable ones I see advertised.
I know, I know, use 12 V between starter side to ground, key on, no lights. (I don't want to think that hard).

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
Why not use the hand crank?

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
Yes a crank is always ready to start your car, better than a push!

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
Why not use the 12 volts? Don't put your foot on the brake and keep the lights off and you are good to go.

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
Why not write the company and let them know, it's all in the circuit board /relays that controls it, whether the packs put output power in series or not. And why your at it let them know to make 24volts an option for the old diesels lol

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
Would a 12 volt jump PAC damage a 6 volt alternator?

Can't use a hand crank...have a front-mounted toolbox.

If WISHES were DOLLARS, we'd all be RICH.
With a good battery & a 6 Volt alternator, they ALWAYS start. Bill W.

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
They make them, but they are very hard to find in the USA. Here is one example:
Ceteor SOS 6V-850CA Maybe we need to convince Bratton's or Snyder's into importing and stocking them. However, in the short term, aren't these things essentially a gel type battery with a built in trickle charger and some meters and other accessories? Couldn't you get the same functionality out of having a spare (albeit expensive) 6 volt gel battery and just making sure you keep it charged?

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
I have used a 12V Lith battery pack to start a 6 V vehicle.
Your points do not care nor does your coil. 1. Attach to starter Lug. 2.Ground 3.Turn off any lights, or 6 volts acc. 4.Do not activate brake lights 5 Start and immediately remove and off ya go. Now if it does not turn over immediately and start do not push it find out what the problem is! Now cranking works and so does pushing but..... If battery is completely dead.... guess what .. no power to ignition so no spark so no go! Not like old magneto ignitions. |

Better yet, just keep the car in good tune, and replace the battery when it needs to be replaced, instead of waiting for it to die away from home. My 6 volt in my 1950 Studebaker is getting weak, and it's just over 13 years old, so I'll buy a new battery before driving it this summer. |

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
That CETEOR 6v/12v battery booster is available in Europe for around $500. Plus VAT of course. Don't thing anyone will be importing them soon.

Re: 6 V Lithium Jump Start?
I bought a Stark Power Li-ion pack, which is very small, about 7 inches by 4 by 1 1/2.
So small can now be carried under seat for emergency start. It is 12 volts only, but works a treat on our standard 6v Model A. BUT, I made the mistake of cranking for too long and it melted one of the leads, not the fault of the manufacturer, it has specific instructions on limit of cranking. Car had ignition fault, as previously it started instantly with the mini power pack. Not a cure for bad electrics/mechanicals, but a very worthwhile addition to tool box if away from home etc Now called Jump Box? |
