Hey scotty I'm looking at buying a 2005 jaguar f type sedan for 5000 dollars it has 183 000km what Is your opinion
Morning Scotty 👍 would that jump starter be not too expensive for you to ship to Canada 🤔😁
Glad you did this video. I always wondered if those small chargers are worth getting compared to the huge ones.
Thanks for all the info.
Had a quick question
I need to get a large SVU, have a large family, do you recommend 2018 Expedition or the 2015 Lexus LX570
Hey Scotty need one of those plz..
I got stuck with no phone, a dead battery, and no wallet one time in the country while working a job. I used gas tools only but had a few battery operated drills in my trailer. I proceeded to break a radio apart for wire, connect my car battery to a 20v dewalt battery, and start my car after waiting 10 mins to charge. It was a truly great moment hearing that engine just barely turn fast enough to fire. Oh boy.
Very creative. I have heard of jumping cars years ago by touching the bumpers, and using a coat hanger for the positive connection. Gloves recommended.
Tool batteries will definitely do it but I think they get wrecked but better than being stranded! I dont think they need to sit to charge though pretty sure you can get it going right away.
That must have been some radio.
@@PapaDikpill only needed like 3 or 4 inches of wire on each terminal and yes I remember having to splice them. Typical battery powered construction type radio.
You’re crafty af buddy
I can attest these work! My car battery drained down, and luckily a person nearby had one of these little units. It started my car!
Has anyone tried the little blue 750 peak amps Centec Starter / power station ?? ....and did anyone notice an odor ?? I'm new to all these.... I use my van as a camper van and hope its safe to keep in the van, I'm freaked out by all the WARNINGS ....works good though ....any input ??
Thanks for all of the advice you've given to us all and it's been a life and money saving event, I appreciate your work as a mechanic that's outright honest, keep up the great work Scotty Kilmer, would love to talk with you one day in person!!!
Awesome videos and channel, Scotty! I've just purchased this unit and started my Audi A4 with a totally dead battery and with an 80% charge out of the box. With all the features and starting amps, I love it. I had no idea they made them this small and light. I tried some Walmart ones and they did not work on the same car. Then I found this video. Amazing! Thank you for a great review!
As a roadside assistance tech for the last 13yrs , Scotty has me LOOKING & PERFORMING like a genius day in and day out! 😬👌🏼
So you use JNC jumpers like me then? Cause they're proven in the towing industry?
@@kirwankars8597 I'm a roadside tech and yes that's what I use
@@benjystackz1907 I actually work for JNC. Keep using the best, boys! Scotty doesn't have the best understanding of how jump starters work.
Thank you for keeping us neighborhood mechanics from blowing everything up.
Thanks for putting all these video's up Scotty. Your experience and advice make me want to learn more about repairing my vehicles on my own. Keep it up.
Fun watching all your shows for years. Great info and light humor from a genius. Fix me many times, thanks Scotty.
I really enjoy your episodes. I was a mechanic for 30 years and I have to say, you really know your stuff. When I first started there was a senior mechanic much like you and I learned a lot from him and made my work so much easier. He really put pressure on me to figure our the problem and drove me nuts until I found it. He would say, you would not learn if I was to point to the problem, would you? I sure missed him when he retired.
So happy you did this topic!! Its life saving information.
People don't think of essentials like this until they're stranded on a highway in sub zero temperature.
Thank you
I have one of the big jumper kits and it died from it heating up because i left it in my car on a hot day, I have been looking into the little power packs but was always unsure of which to go for ,so many to choose from. i have been watching your channel for few years now to learn about fixing the basics of my last 3 cars, you have been very helpful, thank you.
Thank you! I just spent 3hrs not being able to understand what I would need when trying to look through the amp info but you explained it clearly in few minutes!
Thank you Scotty for being the coolest cat that I know on the internet. I always carry jumper cables everywhere I go since I drive an automatic. Helped lots of people who have needed a jump through the years. Would love to win a powerpack so I don't have to worry about damage to my car. Thanks for doing what you do. :)
Love your videos. I really enjoy when you answer viewers questions, because often times they’re important questions that I haven’t thought to ask myself. Keep up the good work Scotty! 🔥
Scotty you're my favorite online mechanic teacher and advisor! You're practical , honest , intelligent smart and has a unique style . Keep up the great work and God bless always !!!
Great info. I've been watching your videos for the past six months. As a 69 yr old that purchased his first car in 1969, good to know you are keeping up with new tech.
The Stanley saved me. I am glad I had it. It also ran my sump pump when I lost power in a storm. Well worth the 100 bucks.
So true mine was 80... never had a problem had it for 2yrs now...never let me down
Love those little jumpers! I no longer have to worry about asking strangers for a jump. People usually act funny like if they give you a jump their car will be destroyed so they come up with all kinds of excuses not to help you. I got in such a situation in a remote town when I had sat in my car with the engine off listening to music, distracted by a girl I had gone to meet.
When I turned off the radio and we went into the restaurant, it wouldn’t start when we came out and none of those folks was willing to give us a jump till a Good Samaritan drove by. I went straight to Walmart and bought one of these so I’ll never need to ask for help. I’ve helped people jump their cars with my jumper starter and it feels good to not pop my hood. I’m like a super hero when I use it to help. Haha!
Same experience. I was at a gas station and after pumping gas I got in the car and turned the ignition and all I got was clicking sounds. People would not help acting like they didn't have cables and other excuses. Luckily, when I popped the hood, it seemed my battery cable was just a little loose and some wiggling of the cable got it to start. I immediately went and bought me a jumper so I would never have to ask someone for a jump again. I too have helped a couple of people with my jumper.
People don't want to help random strangers these days. The time have changed to where no one is willing to help or trust anyone they don't know.
Wow that's very sad. We all should be willing to help. Not only because you may need help one day but because it's the right thing to do.
Really? I always try to help people get a jump if they need it and haven't had that experience myself when asking. But that was back in my college days, so around 12-15 years ago. I haven't been asked for a jump since then.
Thank you Scotty for sharing your expertise in cars! I have a lot of confidence in what you teach us and I'm very grateful for your channel.
Scotty is number one on my list out of those I trust when it comes to the ins and outs of vehicles. Real recognize real!
lead acid battery jumper got my gf and i home when alternator went bad late one winter nite when it was zero degrees. hooked it up n drove with hood partially up. killed the jumper but kept the lil lady from freezing and got us home.🍻
Nice
There's a new reason to keep one in my trunk good work. Got to think outside the box sometimes. Where to use to getting someone else to come help us and save us
Scotty won't tell ya about that, cause he makes money selling the little kind. I've had my "Stanley" for 3 years, it's doin' fine with 1000 amps. Scotty is full of propaganda.
@@bentnickel7487 If it ain't broke, sure. But if you're in the market for one, then these modern options are much better for basically the same price.
Scotty had no idea there was such a powerful compact jumpstart, thanks again for the great info!
Thanks Scotty for all of your great and entertaining videos! I Really Enjoy watching them, and I learn something new each time. Thanks!!
Love the new intro Scotty!! Keep up the great work sir. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you!!
I'm glad you showed the one that works best. I'll tell my friends. I only knew of the old one. Thank you Scotty for your great advice. 🔔
I'm glad I watched this I was about to buy a jump pack and didn't know the real difference until I watched this thanks Scotty!
Scotty your videos are some of the best, useful and most informative on you tube! I really enjoy your presentation and energy too! Keep rocking the channel, great job!
I love your videos, Scotty! I'm subscribed and watch your videos daily! Thanks to you, I've learned so much about cars over the years. Keep up the great work!
Scotty,
You have cultivated in me a desire to be a more responsible and informed car owner...thanks!
I appreciate knowing which one of those jump-starting devices REALLY works. So many brag about working but are flops. Because of your video I've got one coming. Thanks for the down and dirty facts, keep up the great videos.

My 30 yr. old Schumacher charger just died, so I was hoping you had info on new charger/starters, and you did. So you've helped a lot buddy ! Thanks...
Thanks for the post. I have been interested in purchasing one of these and this video was very helpful.
Great stuff!!! This channel has saved me a lot of time and headaches...Thanx Scotty!
Thank you, mr mechanic... You are very influential and I am grateful for your advice and instructions
Thank you Scotty for sharing your expertise and knowledge, I could sit and watch your videos all day, just purchased the Top vision battery starter!!!
Scotty is so knowledgeable. Awesome video great information about jumpstart packs.
Thanks for the info Scotty. Always appreciated.
Been looking for one of these quality packs for awhile now and your testimonial is good enough for me.
Thanks again.
Thanks again Scotty, I was looking for a comparison of jump starter to find out wich one is the best. Thanks to you now I know better. As usual thanks again for teach and your assistant.
Thanks a big bunch for always giving intelligent and useful information Scotty. The world is INDEED a much better place because of your kindness and desire to share what you know. And you know a LOT. God Bless ! Happy New Year.
Yup, I'll take one of those jump starters too Scotty! THANKS!
Tried to jump start my 2003 Chevrolet Suburban with the old school jump pack but it would not crank even though the pack was fully charged. Wish I had seen this video sooner and learned it is safe to connect to the negative post when the unit is switched off. Thanks for yet another informative video!
I still have the original jump start device I bought back in 1996 and it still works fine. It's only 250 Amps but I've used it to jump start small compact car batteries and run small air compressors for tire maintenance and to blow up our Zodiac RIB for 11 years. It has sat for over a year before and still recovered after charging. The directions on the back say to recharge it after use and/or every 3 months. So apparently, even the cheap ones can provide decent service.
This is very valuable information. Thank you for sharing with us!
Love the show, keep fixing cars and thanks for demystifying it to us.
So glad I saw this. Thank you Scotty. I REALLY NEED this jump starter. I am a 70 yr old widow. My car battery went out just last week & I had to wait 2 hours for road side assistance. Car battery is cranking my car ok so far, so I haven't replaced it yet but this should would help me out just in case of another emergency 👍👍
As usual Scotty nails it! The man's videos should be required learning!!
Hey Scotty, your know how and experience are invaluable to us. Keep up the great work. Please.
I Always love watching your video's, always informative.
I have been watching this man for a year now. Much knowledge. Then as soon as I turn on CZcams. He was my first video. And I am in the market for a jump starter. Till I seen this video, now it made me relook at what I am really looking for a jump starter. Shakraan Lak شكرا لك (!Thank You)
Awesome product demo . I’ve been looking for something like this I didn’t know which one to buy.Thank You
What's cool about the bigger LA jumpers is that a lot of them are coming with air compressors built into them now, which is pretty neat. But Pro-Tip, maybe get your own tire press gauge to verify the built-in one is calibrated correctly.
This show has saved me so many headaches, thanks Scotty!
Thanks Scotty, I always enjoy your facts about cars and repair tips.
I love all of your car advice. I like all of the DIY stuff that saves money too. Thanks for all your advice Scotty.
Always watching your videos and to learn something new . 👍👍👍 and recommend the guys at work to watch ur videos as well.. Viva el compa scotty kilmer
This is one of those videos that I simply can't resist subscribing to and hitting the like button.
Thanks Scotty, I waz just thinking of buying a battery pack when I got a notification of your video. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. God bless...
I gotta say Scotty you're a most enigmatic presenter. They should get you on Top Gear - the old one, the fun one, the crazy one. Greetings from the UK (a bit late) but thank you for your educated advice and enthusiasm.
There are negatives to some li ion jump packs. Some won’t start if they sense no voltage at the car battery. My son’s cobra charger would not start up due to his mistake in leaving the dome light in overnight! It’s actually in the instructions on that charger, from Costco. And there are some real advantages to the lead acid chargers. They can provide 12 v continuous for long periods. Handy when working on vehicles. Many li ion packs time out after a short while
This was really helpful, thank you Scotty
Love your videos. I started a job as a tow truck driver about a year ago. Now this is the kind of work NO BODY, including myself o ever thought I’d be doin. But after 20 years in sales here I am and I love it! I’ve had many questions over the last year and you have been such a huge help, thank you. Here’s my question, which jump pack would be best for semi trucks and not break my back or bank?
Great as always Scotty. This thing would be an absolute lifesaver in my off road Jeep. Imagine you hit the top of the trail, middle of nowhere, you get out if your tent in the morning and, bam, you left the dome lights on! Nobody coming to the top of the mountain to give you a jumpstart!
Thanks for the videos, Scotty! You're saving me money!
Love your channel, and the new intro is awesome
Keep up the good work
Scotty you sure know your stuff.
Thank you for your knowledge.
I greatly appreciate your time.
Love tbe tips. So useful. You are a lifesaver. I am so glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work
What a great battery jumper. I’ve gone through several dry cell jumpers and stopped buying them. Thanks Scotty!!!
Clean & Non Offensive.
Thank you, Scotty!
Thanks, Scotty. You seem to give very good advice about vehicles and what we are able to do to avoid any complications or problems and also how to repair what needs to be repaired. Thanks for your good advice.
Thanks for the great videos Scotty! I used a jump box on my sister- in - laws car yesterday. Crappy new battery went dead!
I've seen one of those in action and they really work. Thanks for sharing this though! God Bless you Scotty! :)
Scotty,
Thanks for the info.
Man, I would have thought that the 2,200 peak amp unit would light off a diesel just fine!
Scotty I find your you tube information very positive. I could really use jumb starter. You have taught me alot. Thank you.
I've used Clore JNC 660s for many years since using one multiple times a day wrenching at a used car lot. They sell parts if needed and their service is outstanding. Their worklights are excellent too. Buying low end jump starters, jumper cables etc is like buying a cheap parachute. When you need one to work, you NEED one to work (price a towing bill!).
I used the Topvision Jump Starter for the first time today, and I was a little surprised it worked! Jump Starter battery went from *100% -> 96%* after jump start. Thank you Scotty! 😃
"If you have to use the charger to start your car a 1000 times, there is something wrong with your car"
Don't give up your day job to become a comedian.
@@busterbruce2116 dude he's quoting the video
Thanks for the great info on Jump Starter's. Now i have a better idea of what to look for and what to watch out for. Thanks
Thanks for all the Auto help...The Best Channel on CZcams...
Scotty your the best. I hang on your every word.
I must rebuild my carb for my 84 toyota pick up
I think the float fuel valve is leting way to much in so flooding is a big problem.
Thanks. Patrick.
I always learn something from your videos, There is no telling how many people you have helped with your videos, keep up the good work. You have become the good Samaritan.
Just had a battery issue this past week... This would have been a life saver... Great videos S.Kilmer... Thanks arturo jaime
Another good technical advisory-- I made a decision, based on Scotty's (1) experience with lead-acid starters and (2) his clear explanation of why lithium-ion is superior as a first-resort starter. BTW-- those with laptop computers should remember to remove their lithium-ion battery when placing the laptop in storage. Battery removal preserves most of its charge for months, but left in the laptop, system maintenance drains the battery flat over the same period.
2019: Your intro is dope
10+ years: I like your new intro. The other one was not so modern.
I just recently discovered your video channel and as a long time amateur mechanic as I am a cheap car nut I really apprieciate your great advice videos and humor too.Very welcome is your info on Li ion starter packs as well as the super capacitor and lead acid packs. I notice a lot of the cheaper lead acid packs at thrift stores and yard sales and because they usually sit too long uncharged and have high internal resistance like a car battery they are usually not worth buying but after taking one apart I believe they can be recycled by changing out the battery and either putting a new one from internet or maybe a computer back up power supply, etc. but only the more expensive ones with tire inflator extra 12v.outlet or light would be worth it now that the Li ion ones have come down in price, but the ones you can recharge from a cig. Lighter outlet while car running and then use to run 12v.coolers or sound systems and such while camping with no 120 v.outlets available are still cool especially for houseless people. I use mine to run a 12v.little guitar amp for playing out in the forest.Anyway I am a cheapskate and got mine practically unused from a friend who bought one too low in CCA to start his F 250 but starts my 2.2 Subaru motor just fine and got me out of trouble when winter weather caused car battery to go down in CCA. Also I believe a lot more of the lead acid starter packs have the recharge by car DC or AC option as well as tire inflator option which should make up somewhat for their bulkiness. Thanks again for the excellent video instruction especially the info on reading scanner data maybe you would like to do a comparison on some of the cell phone OBD 2 dongles. Thanks again
Excellent video Scotty!! I needed this a couple of days ago. Thanks!!!
I love your New intro!! Nice video take care!
Best channel on CZcams about everything car related!
Thanks Scotty. I want one of these and with your advice I now know which one to buy. Have a Great day.
I’m on the road a lot a battery jump kit would be handy. Love video Scotty. Keep up the good work.
Love your videos, that power pack beats jumper cables anytime.
Thank you for this useful information! My lead battery starter I think is starting to go bad.
Keep up the good work Scotty in educating us all, it’s good to know that you’re on our side , the consumer
I love how much of a kick Scotty got out of thinking about using the jumper 1000 times. I had to buy one today because I was car camping in the Walmart parkinglot and like a dummy left my lights on overnight. Best purchase ever.
I'd probably go with something like the Autowit Supercap 2. It is a supercapacitor charger. You don't have to worry about it losing charge. It used the "dead" battery's power to jump start itself. A really cool guy named Scotty did a video on it a while back and strongly recommended it. :)
surprised he didn't mention all 3 types!
HOW TO FIND SCOTTY ON THIS JUMP STARTER ... WE WOULD LIKE TO LOCATE THE INGO.. ( YES SCOTTY IS THE BEST FOR AUTO USE & ADVICE ) LOVE THAT GUYS INFO. A WORTHWILE VISIT ANY TIME FROM HIM IS USEFULL. RANOFBOSTON1AUG2023
I got one of those old lead acid starters. Scotty, you had me worried there for a moment.
I loved this video. Good humor in there as well. The insides up on the top right corner we’re very funny. Thank you.😂
You are the best!! Really enjoy watching your videos. Learn a lot from you. Can't wait to get one of those jumpers. Keep up the good work. Also love seeing your old Toyota. It's amazing it's still running. 🤓😁😆
Lithium ion battery charge box? Scotty just taught me something! Thanks.
I didn't know about these either!
