In this video we explore the newest car jumper on the block. The SUPERCAPACITOR. Overall I'm very impressed with the technology but we will also talk about the limitations of this type of jumper pack versus the traditional LEAD ACID & LITHIUM ION variants.

For those of you that are wondering if it was a fluke for how briefly the engine turned over with the SuperCap 2 please check out Project Farm's video at 11:06 and 17:12 where he tested the same unit: ruclips.net/video/ixWPx79g3yk/видео.html
Dude, I love his videos too. Been subbed to his channel for a few years. And I have used his testing to make a proper purchase of a few items.
Supercap jump packs are definitely just for properly operating vehicles that just have low battery issues.
If you need to crank for extended periods, find another car to jump yours so it can crank long enough for you to figure out what's wrong with your car. Just cranking futilely when it isn't showing any signs of starting will just burn out your starter for no good reason.
At minus twenty to thirty degrees Celsius, provided the boosters were at a similar temperature, the test result changed dramatically.
U r raising her well---God bless you!!
Always good to have a helper
Hey bud that’s a great video. Those tools will definitely help me out on my farm. Thanks a bunch keep them coming
I have many of those devices and appreciate having the differences explained
1:00 Fun fact. There is a recycling company out there that feezes lithium ion batteries then chucks them into a grinder to ground them up.
Why freeze them? Because they won’t have thermal runaway issues as the chemicals are frozen and don’t react.
Good video!! Havilah is so sweet...
I think it's funny that at 0:40 is when you mention 40 below zero... and you specify Fahrenheit, though 40 below zero in Celsius is the exact same temperature (that happens to be the crossover point of the two scales). 40 40 40! :)
Thanx for a more honest tastings, opinions, & conclusion, versus a Toyota Guy & Scotty's just going & going at it, claiming Autowitz as best, yet not disclosing its limitations.
At minus twenty to thirty degrees Celsius, provided the boosters were at a similar temperature, the test result changed dramatically.
So the Autowit didn’t start the truck, but you give it a good rating?
Thanks , it seemed to good to be true,I stick to the good old regular battery booster or cables
Good video. Also enjoyed your Cohost.
I truck camp on Federal lands out west for several weeks at a time. Countless door open and closings. Ford powers up all kinds of crap (lights, modules, infotainment etc) every time the door opens. I carry a spare new AGM drop replacement battery, and yes I've needed it. AGM's have decent shelf life.
Several times I've experienced a cell short in flooded cell type battery.....12.6 becomes 10.5vdc and battery is worthless at this point.
Very well done video
Nice video just wish you put a voltmeter from start to end and then show the truck actually starts. Anyway thanks for the vid's.
Nice sharing
You need a little starter spray fluid.
Havilah ?, Cute termite learning electricity early on. Haa
Ben, another Great video, always appreciate your lessons. one question, do you have any advice for storing these devices in my vehicle? Any issues at low temps as well as high temps.?
The supercap is almost impervious to cold and heat. -40 F to 145F.
Do you think the auto wit can be charged by 4 cr123?
Fun fact. -40F = -40C
Did you know Jupiter is so large you can fit an entire football field on it?
Limited use cases for me. As many of my use cases are 0v in the middle of no where
Hey Benji, just givin you a heads up, your links are not opening up
most of the other tests crank for over ten seconds...you got gas in the truck?
Now I am totally confused.
There were a lot of moves there for a dead battery. Dead batteries steal whatever available current in the jump box. Stealing your cold cranking amps. Why would you try to jump a dead battery? Especially if it’s an abandoned truck? Your better off calling Triple A to have them jump it or just buy a new battery for it. Personally I have used lead acid jump boxes by the same company (JNC). They work great as long as they are relatively new. Overtime they lose their ability to work. I also have new lithium-ion jump boxes. I only used the lithium-ion once to jump a dying battery. It started it without any trouble. The lithium-ion are soo much lighter & easier to maneuver. I haven’t tested it in cold weather yet.
The other issue at play here is there must be an unresolved issue why it was abandoned? Like a bad fuel pump. Or some other mechanical issue? We’ll never know? I have a similar aged truck that I still drive everyday. I’m on my third fuel pump. Those are costly to replace as they are inside the fuel tank. The fuel tank must be dropped to install. Most likely the gas tank has a rust hole in it. Then the cost of the pump & fuel filter as long as everything comes apart ok? Your looking at a pricey sum of money & it still might not start?
For 400$, the Autowit really disappoints !
Puede que no arrancó tu camioneta porque el supercap tiene problemas para arrancar los 8 cilindros
ElectroBoom: *y e s*
Thats terrible as most modern cars take a while to turn over after a dead batt, because they run self diagnostics before they'll allow it to fire. Some of it is emissions related too.
TY.

Super capacitor charging through USB??? And why it's charging so slowly from lead-acid battery? Probably it works like flashlight in old cameras, where capacitor after charging switches from batteries to inverter and inverter discharged capacitor to gas discharge lamp. If it's true, I can understand why super capacitor is discharging so fast: the inverter is also consumpting energy, SMPS has coil on it's circuit which discharges capacitor during transient current. Try super capacitor without inverter, it might improve result.
Actually, you're "better off" going to Sams Club and getting a deep cycle battery. Every one of these toys costs as much, or more, than a complete, capable-of-starting-the-car-solo battery. I have a number of these sorts of things, but they aren't used to start cars. (some have air pumps, others are flashlights that will run for weeks, or can charge a cell phone 48 times...)
60 pounds of "better off". Apples and oranges.
Yeah, try keeping one in your glove compartment. 🙄
Mine work just fine
Видите американца, перематывайте в конец, болтает языком бесконечно.
Autowit has low amps.
I think he had a bad connection here. The autowit is terrific. I liked mine so much after a few uses i got my son 1.
