- In today's video, we take a look at the Autowit SuperCap 2 jumstarter for your car or truck. This unit is special because it has no internal battery, so it never requires a maintenance charge. The unit uses the residual voltage left over in your dead car battery to charge it's super capacitors. It then releases that built up charge quickly, so that it can be used to crank the engine. This product is a must have! Check out the link below to find where you can purchase this product for your car!

As a fellow mechanic I love how great you are at explaining the advanced things for the layman
Thank you!
Thanks for the honest and real world review. I'll definitely be purchasing two of these for each of my vehicles.
The link is back up and running! I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you all for the support!
Thank you Eric. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.
Eric, YOU saved me once again with this recommendation. My sitting Jeep's battery was dead (from a constant-power Dashcam hookup for a week) showing around 6 volts and I'm glad I bought this. I hooked it up and it took a while to charge up. I was racing against the clock on a Sunday with NAPA closing within a little over an hour. I hit the discharge button at 98% with 5.3V showing on the device. It still worked and I made it in time to swap out the 3 year old battery.
Thank you Eric for the 20% discount, I just ordered mine. Great video as always!
Very cool tool. Thank you for showing us.
Bought one, based on your recommendations. You hope you never need it but chances are you do, at some point. Appreciate the tip.
The interesting thing about jumping hybrids is how you don't need big current, you just need enough to run the security checks allowing the car to power up. Then the big battery recharges the accessory battery in the background while running. These capacitive chargers are taking over. I have a NOCO capacitive charger and it works great, even with big old engines. Strangely it has more trouble charging a phone than it does cranking a starter motor on a regular engine. Yours is different in the sense it doesn't need to hold a charge at all! I like the way you can recharge the charger with the dead battery.
I really do think these supercapacitors are a great alternative to Lithium ion battery jump starters, because they have a much longer lifespan and you don't have to worry about the battery puffing up and exploding. Thanks for watching!
Love it!
Eric, thanks for the discount man. I placed an order for 4 of these. You sold me into it.
Love your videos
Thank you very much. I truly appreciate the support!
I have this exact jump starter. One negative aspect of this jump starter is that; it doesn't have an override mode. Meaning if your battery is stone-cold dead as in zero volts, you'd charge the capacitor elsewhere and then bring it back to your zero voltage battery, you are then unable to commence the jump because this jump starter needs at least a few volts to "turn on" the jump pack. As a work-around, I carry a spare 12volt drill battery and place in parallel. Other than this aspect, it's a great tool, with nicely made cables.
You can just carry a 9V battery for that purpose, it just needs to sense a voltage, not draw power from it.
@@wingerrrrrrrrr that’s my point I should not have to if I have this jumper starter and especially when other super cap starters have an override
@@joeluang8695 The first gen unit is more my style, I was able to measure the energy output to determine the actual capacity, while the new unit with all the added fool proofing safeguards made it difficult.
To me the first gen is a cooler unit even if more unwieldy with the separate control unit.
I also have a Schumacher DSR108 capacitor jump pack, which has also worked for me each time, but I just prefer the Gen 1 Autowit.
I bought this one, works great!!!
Another great instructional vid!!
Thanks again!
If using this on a diesel, cycle the ignition on and leave it in ON. Then it will cycle the glow plugs when going from hood to cab then use key like a gas car and start cranking. If key is off on a diesel the plugs will take that power first then leftover goes to the battery.
For my semi truck I use the 1,000 amp OZ rescue mate and have 4 of them. One for each battery as all are connected. It combines as 48 volt and 4,000 amp when all 4 are activated at once.
Great technology. As calling fora semi truck jump start can cost $700 or more. Having jumped several trucks like this, yeah super capacitors do work.
Though note if battery is below 1 or 2 volts a full capacitor may not be strong enough to turn it over.
A cheat would be to prime the car battery with the capacitor.
To do this charge device. Send charge to battery for the full count down without trying to start it.
Note voltage when connected. Should be a little higher. So, charge and send,”prime”, the battery again. Dis connect for a couple seconds. Reconnect and charge again, prime again.
After 3 or for primings, on the last run, charge again and then when ready try to crank again. The dead battery needs to be able to hold a charge or priming won’t work.
The priming is to get battery above 2 volts or better.
If no jumper cables are available, like personal vehicle dead but work vehicle running, hook to running battery for few second nds and “prime” dead car a couple times before cranking.
Hope that helps increase its usefulness as it did for me.
Cool tool Eric. Will check it out. Thanks for sharing 😊 Artie
Thanks for watching!
Thanks bro. Got one from your recommendation and your amazing intro video of this product. Great product idea. Can’t wait to try when arrive for my dad car sitting around more often during pandemic 👊 your code is also amazing and helpful. Price already discount and with your hooked up code only $103... along with free ship. Awesome company generosity and offers👍
Thank you for your support!
Good to see a real world test of the unit. The Project farm channel just did a big test that included this unit along with several battery type jump packs. I had an old cell phone battery “inflate” itself after the phone had been sitting in a desk unused for a couple of years. This is much safer than leaving charged lithium ion batteries sitting in your trunk going through heat cycles for a year or more.
I've had problems with the Li-ion batteries in jump packs puffing up. They also don't seem to have a very long lifespan. That is why I feel this may be a great alternative. Supercapacitors can last a very long time. Thanks for watching!
It would have been interesting to see the comparison of the jump packs under extreme cold. The capacitor units should be less affected than the lithium batteries.
It was tested with the cold temps in the video, and apparently the lithium packs wouldn't work at the low temperatures, and had to be warmed up first to work properly.
Verry coool😎
That thing is actually cool
Thanks Eric just ordered one! Can’t beat for $105 Awesome!
I really think these supercapacitors are a great alternative to Lithium ion battery jump starters, because they have a much longer lifespan and you don't have to worry about the battery puffing up and exploding. Thanks for your support!
I agree and I have to laugh at the comment about it last in the review by farm project it was the only tested as a capacitor starter pack and he failed to mention is in 5 years it should perform the same as it did today...yes capacitors do go bad but with minimal use should last decades.
Cut him the check! Bravo
Pretty cool product. Only down side you can’t drive with this unit hooked up still after you start the car like a normal jump pack. Say you have a bad alternator and the battery is dead and wanna move the vehicle in the shop. The vehicle will use the jump pack battery to keep vehicle running long enough to move it to where u want to. Good video man! Always love your vids.
You can just use an old jump pack that isn't good enough to use for starting, but still can act as a buffer to maintain a stable voltage while running. Or even get some small lead acid gel cell, just for that purpose, without needing one big enough to start.
amigo donde la conseguiste y como se llama
Thats a cool little gadget eric

Autowit 2 is awesome. I have one.
amazing, can it start big diesel trucks as well ?
I have the first generation of that jump pack. I have the small one and used it to jump start a 5.3 v8 that had only 9.8 volts on the battery.
Awesome! I think these super capacitors may be a great alternative to Lithium Ion battery jump starters, because they a have longer lifespan.
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO
Hopefully they'll last at least 10 years or more, too soon to tell since they've not been around that long yet.
This is cool, cutting technology
Can it be use to a disel engine 24v?

Please help this car has been to lexus 5 times they cannot find a problem it has 3 fuel pump 2 high pressure mechanical pumps on each side of the engine an 1 low pressure pump in the gas tank an 16 fuel injectors I had a valley plate leak resealed down under the intake after everything was put back together this problem came the same day an I dont know what it is it doesn't do it every time only when I drive it an let it sit until the temperature needle gets to the exact spot in the video it always does right there if its a cold start it start up fine if its already warmed up it start fine
I've heard that you shouldn't use these for starting a hybrid (Lexus RX400H) for fear of frying the electrics. Anyone know if that's true?
Eric, sorry to hear about the transmission in your truck. Any plans to do a video on a trans swap? There are a lot of GMT800 trucks out there...I suspect a video by you with step by step instructions would get a lot of views.
Interesting... This might be a Candidate to install it (with an external Switch under the Dash) permanently into my owen Car. ...just in Case.
I will stick to my NOCO Lithium jump starter. Down side is waiting for it the charge up it took long with the battery at 7% dead battery with a interior light left on could run the battery way lower than 7%.

Whats up with the sabotaged viper?
Videos coming soon!
The project farm guy on youtube featured this in one of his recent videos. Unfortunately, it didn't do too well.
@kerryithm2 absolutely.
I've watched it. Great video! I'm just sharing my experience. I've been able to jump start multiple vehicles without a problem using the Supercap2. All of the lithium ion jump starters that I own, don't seem to last very long before I have to buy a new ones. So, I think this may be a great alternative. These super capacitors can last a very long time. Thanks for watching!
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO yeah, I've heard the lithium jump starters like to stop working after a year or so. This definitely seems like a good product. Way better than the Harbor Freight viking lol
@@andybub45 Yeah that one didn't do so well during testing lol
I think the battery he was using was totally dead.
I ordered one of these with the link and discount code back on the day this video came out. I've received no shipping update and the item still hasn't arrived. Not impressed so far with GadgetPlus. Hoping I don't have to dispute the charge to get my money back or get the item. Also, I noticed the link doesn't work anymore.
Today is 6/22/2021...and the link to the "super cap" is broken.
I apologize that link expired. You can buy it here! amzn.to/3j5Ctha
This sounds cool but I'm not sure I'd want to do that to an old battery!! I remember boosting a 2-3 year old battery and it exploded when I moved the cables 🗯 😠🗯 98% of the battery blow right over my head and didn't hurt me or anyone else. The shop was covered in acid but otherwise fine. It seriously sounded like a shotgun going off in the shop!!! My hubby had the same thing happen to him at a different time.
I've worked in the automotive industry most of my life but still cringe when I hook up cables to anything, even though I've charged thousands of vehicles since.
Great video.
I was always taught to use a rag to cover the top of battery because of explosive games and sparks when connecting jumpers
Thanks

Got it more than a year ago. Don't like it. When vehicle's battery is too low, u will not be able to start instead of acid battery jump box.
Do you have the first or second version?
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO
I have both, and prefer the first gen because it doesn't have the fool proofing features added to the second gen, which requires detection of the battery connection before delivering the output.
Second gen is a tidier package with the nice case though.

Never knew is zuzu made trucks in America is that just a Honda or GM I know there's someone them were just rebadged Honda passport

There a fantastic design but if you leave your headlight's on or a door open your battery will be as flat as a pancake
That's why it's great that they give you options. I've used my phone charger at home to charge it. It charges pretty quick when it's plugged into the wall. Thanks for watching!

@@neilmurphy845 You didn't watch the video.
@@bentnickel7487 well yes when I committed but I'm whatching now
@@neilmurphy845 Yes it holds its charge for quite some time. I've once waited a half hour after disconnecting it from the wall, before hooking it up to the truck. Worked great!
This jump starter is very expensive at over $300.00
Sounds like a sponsored video to me but it does seem like an interesting product.
Unfortunately it did not perform very good in the latest Project Farm testing...Before you need to buy a Jump Starter, watch the latest PF testing and pick the unit within your budget.

@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO I will pass it on to Project Farm. Longevity of an item is very important. But as you know there's new cars that "WIN" initial quality awards only to become money pits a few years later. Also I have found out manufacturers claims on performance of their products are mostly exaggerated. Seldom is the case that the product out performs the specifications. Let the Buyer Beware.
@@stealthg35infiniti94 I feel you. It's difficult to trust most any products claims nowadays. Especially newer technology. Which is why I insisted they give us a 20% off coupon code. To make the purchase worthy of a try.
The longevity aspect is why I have three supercap jumpstarter units, each in different cars. So far I've had occasion to use them about 6 or 7 times over the years, and they've worked every time. Most frequent one has been a Camaro V6, which sometimes inexplicably draws a very large amount of current on a warm start, after been driven but just parked for a short time of 40 minutes. Usually no problem when cold or sitting for a month parked, go figure.
I've measured the peak starting current in the thing at 520A with the regular battery, and so far the capacitor jump packs have done it every time, even so.
If your car is in poor condition and won't start without extended cranking, then you'll be best served with the lithium packs, which can crank for longer periods for each try.
You will have to expect to replace them much more frequently because they'll deteriorate over time, especially when kept at full charge for long periods. If you can, keep it at somewhere below 70% charge instead of keeping it topped off all the time, because they'll last longer that way. It should still be sufficient to start with that charge level.
Better still, another vehicle to provide the jump power, which is probably better as the voltage will remain in safer territory than the jump packs, which all deliver much higher voltages than the normal operating range.
something basic like a spare tire......oh wait, they re doing away with that
Yeah I just remembered lol
Too much trouble just to jumpstart the truck. I know some jump pack is better than this one . What happen you in the situation in a heavy rain cold weather and you have to wait for the 100% to start the truck? That is too much !
I really do think these supercapacitors are a great alternative to Lithium ion battery jump starters, because they have a much longer lifespan and you don't have to worry about the battery puffing up and exploding. Thanks for watching!
I have a better option, how about having one built into the car? My car does and it's nice having that option, a couple of years back I arrived to work and turned on a reading lamp and forgot to turn it off. The high for the day was around 5°F. 10 hours later the car failed to remote start. I had to walk to the car and activate the jump start function and was able to go home without having to open the hood in that kind of temperature.
Wow! That's awesome. What kind of car do you have?
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO It's a 2013 Chevy Malibu Eco, pretty much all 2013 Eco's have this function. It's a nice feature to have since is my DD and I no longer have to carry jumper cables.
Like the channel, keep up the great work.
@@JT-lq4yd I had no idea. That's awesome!
Project Farm did some testing of of about 5 jump starters, one of which was the Autowit, and it pretty much sucked across the board. Glad it works for your use.

Hand cranks and magnetos worked better a hundred years ago
Too slow, ok if its not raining or -40 degrees outside, you'd be frozen alive waiting.
You being a mechanic I am surprised you continued to drive with a dead battery that you jump started 15 times. This puts tremendous stress on the charging system not to mention all of the various computer modules that can be damaged or at the very least not operate correctly if they don't have enough operating voltage . Gone are the days of the 80amp alternator. Today you are looking at 100 plus and its there to give ample power to all the electronics . In the technology of 30 years ago it was acceptable to test an alternator on a vehicle by disconnecting a battery. Today if you do that you run the risk of damaging electronic components not to mention also most manufacturers use AGM batteries which are charged differently and in point of fact many of these batteries have a feed back to the ECM to indicate charge level and so when the battery is replaced the ECM has to be "recalibrated" or learn the vehicle has a new battery as to not over charge the new battery
I just bought a house and my transmission went out so money was a little tight lol
@@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO Understood . I forgot to say I do enjoy your videos very much and did not mean to sound ungrateful.

Very good point.
Before jump-starting a battery, open circuit voltage should be checked.
If have about 10.5 volts, have a SHORTED CELL. It will not be possible to jump start it.
If have essentially zero volts , 0.5 volts, have an OPEN CELL. THe car will jump start just fine, but the alternator will not operate correctly and may produce as much as 30 volts or so -- death to the electronics.
I carry a jump pack in an ammo can with a voltmeter and these notes written on a card.
Check the training series RUclipss from Vince Fischelli and Motor Age.
Sorry man.

I don't want to have to question your abilities or decisions.
Ah yes. Another youtuber trying to make money on cheap Chinese electronics. You are not getting pay for the advertisement, but you did get it for free and probably make a few dollars if using your link.
Vouching marvels for a product you didn’t design, make or have enough experience (years) with.
This would work ok, like most of the other jump starters for lightly discharged batteries but not for really low or old batteries.
Btw, any battery would go down after 2 months.
While an excellent idea, this unit still isn't up to par with cheaper Lithium ion packs. Good thing you got yours free. At $150 the improved unit is still over priced and under performs. I believe they added 100 amps. I'll stick with my rechageable unit until something better comes out.
And seriously, 15-20 jumps before getting a new battery, how lazy can you get? Your video was going strong until you went on about the excessive amount of times it was used.
