    Without starting, the current is about 12A . I think after turning of key the amp should be within 100 milli ampere range

    I have got 43amps on startup on a 2.0L Impreza but car managed to start, i guess thats a little low 😅

      Yep, sounds a bit low to me! Hope you got it sorted.

      Hi, you would want the battery to be outputting at least 70% of the amperage that is stated on the battery label.

      Hello, 385.2 A is the number of ampere that remains or is it the number of ampere that was used on the total capacity of the battery??

      Hi @@oussmi21 , that is the battery amperage used, it is not total possible amps output. If the weather was colder, or the starting system had a poor connection for instance, the amperage would be a little higher.

      Good stuff, let me know how you get on! It’s worth checking the battery clamps too, make sure they are all tight between the clamps and cables too.

      They can be, bought this one for about £45. Pretty handy to have over time.
