    I had my sprinter battery die the other day and only had a portable jump starter with me that didn't have quite enough power to do the job with the under the hood method (it required that I start the van within about a second of connecting it). After running around the door as fast as I could a few times with no luck, I had to remove the floor and hook it straight to the battery so I could hit the start button immediately. This wasn't a problem with two other portable jump starters that I used with lower specs.
    Lessons learned:
    1. Don't trust the specs of jump starters from China/amazon. Read the reviews.
    2. Floor board removal takes two different sized torx bits, t20 and t30 (less common to have around). I'd recommend buying these bits and keeping them on board just in case.
    3. If you buy a portable jump starter, make sure the leads are long enough to use it under the hood before you need it. Not all of them are.
    PS I have a 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500.

      Great info! Thanks for sharing. I bought as 8 piece folding torx tool from Home Depot to keep in the van for things like this: www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Torx-Folding-Key-Set-8-Piece-HFTK8PC/202934902?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25T-025_001_HAND_TOOLS-NA-Multi-NA-SMART-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-Hand_Tools_TopSell&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25T-025_001_HAND_TOOLS-NA-Multi-NA-SMART-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-Hand_Tools_TopSell-71700000086053656-58700007291967538-92700072581141384&gbraid=0AAAAADq61UeOSXcAGWO1jNOEZUyag9usi&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsbnOpq-V_QIV5wOtBh0wugG-EAQYAiABEgJh1PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Great video. How long exactly did it take before the van was able to start? 15? 30 minutes? An hour?

      Depends how depleted the battery was, but typically 5 min max. You need to rev the engine of the other car to speed up the process. It may also help to rev engine of other car while trying to start the van.
