Okays, so I had a car with a flat battery. My jump starter died some time back, and all my friends who could have jump started the car were out. Now on paper I knew that the little batteries I use to fly the model <b>planes</b> should be able to have a good go at jump starting a car..but the ultimate test is always does it work in practice. 10 minutes later I had soldered up some junk I had and was ready to give it a go. Win Blog! ;-)

    slipping is the power steering or alternator belt, best get it seen to or it could leave you stranded, I had a power steering belt snap once and it took out the timing belt, new engine required after that...

  • I should also ...

    I should also mention, starting a car with a model airplane battery obviously doesn't work because the electronics involved is "only a theory"!

  • It's not ...

    It's not recommended to connect to the negative terminal of the dead battery. Sequence to connect leads:

    1. + (dead)
    2. + (live)
    3. - (live)
    4. - (shiny, clean metal on engine block of dead battery)

    This is to prevent the dead battery from exploding if it is damaged.

    And yes, his serpentine belt needs some tightening - a simple fix.
