Bro. Finally an honest reality test of these. So many BS unboxing videos out there. Thank you for actually stress testing these. Wish you would have stress tested the AC port on the Cat. Very helpful tho.
maybe not related, but whenever I had a dead battery in my van, it wouldn't start or turn over until it was charged to at least 12.5V. It's also likely I had the wrong size battery at the time 🤷♂️
I got the winplus a few years ago as a gift, and I've jump-started my tundra a few times since then and its always worked fine for me. But maybe my battery wasnt as dead as yours.
Imagine making a video like this and not knowing how to boost a car. Positive to positive, negative to bare metal chassis or engine block. Connecting to the negative dead battery terminal puts most of the current into the dead battery, not the starter motor. You wan to make a ground circuit, not a circuit across the dead battery...
I was actually curious about this when researching for this video and I saw mixed recommendations from the experts. The Vtoman jumpstarters instructions say to attach the negative clamp to the negative battery terminal so I went with the recommendation from the product engineers. Also, the negative battery cable goes right to the chassis so wouldn't the negative battery cable provide a similar contact with the chassis? Assuming your negative battery cable connections are good. Most of these jumpstarters have very short cables so they can't reach much further than across the battery.
Many LI starters are designed to connect directly to the battery, and that's why their leads are so short. Many are also designed to be compatible with hi-tech start stop batteries and, therefore, need direct connection to battery. The Cat battery looks like old tech and was probably first trying to charge the dead battery, whereas the VT has a boost button to dump all amps regardless of a totally dead battery.

Jump-N-Carry has a new line of lithium jump starters. Hit me up if you want to try them out!

Is that why the CAT battery didn’t work?
@@inandoutofreal1ty likely. The cat is nothing more than a standard SLA car battery in a plastic box. Can car batteries start cars? Yes they can.

The CAT 1750A jumpstarter is actually a lithium battery, not sealed lead acid
