Funny thing is. Last night when I posted that I remember saying superconductor instead of super capacitor
That I don't remember saying.I thought you were going to act your age.
You remembered correctly. They are supercapacitor jump starters, not superconductor as you posted last night.Funny thing is. Last night when I posted that I remember saying superconductor instead of super capacitor
If you have a super capacitor everything will appear to be a superconductor!!!!If you're using a lithium jump pack, my best guess is that the BMS software wasn't designed with that use case in mind, so it errored out when it detected something outside of its programmed range. This is when a lithium jump pack with a force-start/boost or other mode that disables all the safety features is helpful.
Yes, you nailed it.
Some are programmed to check for 6, 8, 12 volt batteries. So if you have a 12v below 7 volts you will need to select 6 volts on charger (if it doesn't have force mode) and charge long enough to get enough to use 12v setting. The battery will still need 1.5-2v to recognize a 6v battery to charge. OR hook an additional 12v battery (+to+/-to-) to the dead battery and put charger on that battery charging both batteries at same time. (Old timers force mode
).Which one do you have? I wish more companies would list force-start/boost as a feature instead of having to read the owner's manual. I currently have the YaberAuto "8000A", which has a force-start mode, a semi-decent air inflator, and a screen big enough to easily read through the gap in the hood while sitting in the driver's seat. It's just a little on the bulky side. Frequently goes on sale for $80-90.
