[@wcsairinc]

I bought one almost a year ago on Scotty's recommendation. Finally needed it to start my Chevy service van with a 4.8 liter gas engine. Saved me a lot of time even though I have AAA. Mine has a battery and caps you are supposed to keep charged. It had 25% and cranked it over till it started, and that's why I'm a sub.. paid for itself with one use. Thanks, Scotty...

[@AbdulRashid-uq8ek]

Use the old battery to recharge itself??? Sounds like some-next level witchcraft

[@waynejh]

Abdul Rashid , it takes some of what's left in the battery and quick stores it. Then it quick charges back plus the other part of what's left in the battery and that's what starts the car! No magic.

[@jkneathery]

The dead battery can't supply the "volume" of current to crank the starter. The capacitor is "trickle" charged from the weak current of the battery to provide a large jolt of current needed for starting. No witchcraft.

Thank you Scotty! I purchased the supercapacitor to jump my Miata's old battery. The Miata battery was completely dead, would not hold a charge and would not charge the supercapacitor. So, I charged the supercapacitor through my other car’s cigarette lighter. The supercapacitor was charged and jumped the dead Miata battery on the first try and in time to go and buy a new battery.

[@scottykilmer]

Glad to hear it, the company that makes it is a new start up, so if you wouldn’t mind putting a good review to help them out on Amazon, since they just started and don’t have many yet.

I just got home after having my battery jumped with a battery capable jump starter....It worked and now I realize that your Capacitor unit has the capability to be charged with residual power in the so-called dead battery! Now I understand Capacitors from my Father's knowledge of electricity, and his tricks he played on us with gynormous Capacitors with three leads...50...150...300 volts...He would charge up two leads and dare us to touch them....Zap! 300 volts and a stinging left or right hand! And once discharged, the capacitor was dead, but within a fraction of a second, can be recharged to 300 volts. YOU SOLD ME DOOD!! Thanks! USCG Disabled Veteran! 1969-1978

[@BobStoneBoi]

Hi Scotty, ProjectFarm did a video recently of portable jump starters, and he tested this super capacitor. While it did spin the engine fast, it only lasted for 2-3 seconds. Not a long time if you are working on an older vehicle that might need to crank longer. There was other portable chargers that performed great for a similar price.

[@tmedocianis]

Just say it! This thing did TERRIBLE! This lets you know that Scotty is really a salesman and should be considered that when he recommends a product.

[@Jay-pv3ql]

I bought one of these off his recommendation. I like the idea of it, but out of 5 times I needed to use it for other people it only started the engine 3 out of the 5.

[@bigcbradio]

@@Jay-pv3ql something people need to remember is that these jump packs and boosters are designed for use as a simple jump start when someone has left something on and drained the battery. They are not for trying to start a vehicle that has an issue starting normally. If someone drains their battery trying to start their vehicle, a jump pack isn't going to fix the problem and magically start it for them.

[@nc90awd]

This is not even in the same universe as the best portable jump starter. I bought a JNC 660 jump box and I could literally go a month without charging it, and jumpstart 100 cars including diesel trucks. And most of these car’s batteries are completely dead even after letting them run for a while and turning off the engine the dome light wouldn’t even come on. Even cars with no battery at all. And only $140. If you look at a tow truck driver, car lot, auto auction it’s the jump box you see 99.9% people carrying.

[@TUBEYOUTHETUBE]

I'd love to have one of these. Especially because you dont have to worry for it to go bad. I've had a lot of booster packs sitting around for too long that became damaged by self discharging.

[@6dna]

I bought one. Then my diesel tractor battery wouldn't start the tractor. Worked perfectly and easily out of the box. In fact, my tractor never turned over so quickly. Thanks Scotty!

[@6dna]

Follow up: My daughter left her Honda Civic's headlights on. The battery was dead and the interior lights wouldn't even go on. Hooked up the SuperCap and within 3 minutes it charged and started the car. So much easier than jumpers.

[@chrisn9600]

[@GWOSAPAT]

[@DoorZnr1]

I recommend the Audew 20000a jump starter, it’s cheaper more powerfull (get about 30 jumpstarts on fully dead battery). I went through multiple jump starters and settled on the Audew.

[@n9oqu]

I carry both the Audew and a newer dewit super cap. Because I can still tape on the audew in case I have a bad alternator and get my car to the shop. The dewit is worry free about it being “fully charged”

[@losmoore3358]

In the video I think u said if u have a dead battery and don't want to be charged from another car then use his cigarette lighter plug. Do u mean using the other cars cigarette lighter plug to charge unit ? Then use unit to jump start your own dead battery ?

[@LambdaWave84]

It's basically a boost converter that charges a big capacitor bank using the residual energy of the battery. When the battery is weak, the internal resistance of the battery is very high and when you try to crank it up, the current draw of the starter is enormous, so the voltage of the battery drops too much, and the starter won't spin. That thing provides the kick needed for the starter.

[@KriegKadaver]

My daughters car battery was dead in our driveway. Bad alternator....but i pulled out the unit had to find this video to see how to use it again...lol then hoped for the best. With the autowit hooked to my daughters dead battery it charged right up!!!! Then armed unit to start car!!!!! The i cranked over the motor and she cranked overfast and started👍👍👍👍👍.

[@dang2390]

Can the super capacitor be charged from a small solar panel?

[@aussieguy1012]

a small solar panel is not likely to produce enough voltage.

[@dang2390]

Aussie Guy I have a small solar panel from Harbor Freight that puts out between 12-18v 1.5watt. It's supposed to maintain car batteries or equipment that is left sitting for long periods but I can't say how well it works

[@olliehopnoodle4628]

That's a good idea! It would probably take a while but should work if you can get 4v or more out of the panel

[@aussieguy1012]

Yes I have one too. Like you said these are ideal for treacle charging. That produces 8 amps at 12 volts. It all depends on what the super cap demands not enough voltage it will dissipate at a rate faster than it can charge. Its rated at 700/600 amps so you are not going to be able to charge it quickly enough.

[@dang2390]

Aussie Guy 8 amps seems pretty decent.

Very helpful info. Thanks. This would make a perfect gift for my wife. She is prone to leaving her dome light on. She is Queen Battery-killer. Sooner or later, she will stand herself. I have been following supercapacitor development and companies will soon be using them to charge EVs. Contrary to popular belief, a supercapacitor CAN hold a charge, PROVIDED it is built with a near-perfect vacuum seal. In fact, with a perfect seal, it can hold a charge forever. Graphene is a meterial that can be used in such capacitors. It is incredibly strong, conductive and light. And with the new manufacturing methods being developed, graphene is going to be very affordable. A device like this? It lists for $185. But with graphene, $29.95 some day? So watch for graphene supercapacitors for EVs within the next 10 years. Samsung already uses them in their newest smartphones.

Bought the SuperCap 1 a couple years ago and it was fantastic. Gave it to one of my sons for his birthday and he said it was a "LIFE SAVER." Only negative thing about the Cap 1 was that it didn't have a case; whereas, the Cap 2 does and a nice one at that.

They should have put a solar panel on the back in case you are totally SOL

Send it to me and I will review it and see if it will start a hybrid

[@schembo2000]

12voltvids a hybrid is way easier to start than any traditional ICE.

[@12voltvids]

Only if the HV battery has a charge. The 12v battery only needs enough power in it start the computer which will close the contactor in the HV battery, which will start the inverter for the 12v system. If the HV battery is down from say sitting unused for a month that is a different ball of wax. There is a secondary inverter to charge the HV pack on non plug in hybrids. This however takes a big load from the 12v battery, and it takes about 10 minutes to do. If the 12v battery is also low, one of these super cap boosters will probably not have enough kick to do the job. Just like lighting up the glow plugs in a diesel. A conventional gel cell, or lithium ion booser will do it, because it can sustain enough current for the 10 minutes or so it needs to precharge the HV pack enough to start the HV system and thus the engine, but I would love to test one of these super cap boosters out to prove this theory. Incidentally, i am NOT a mechanic, and know little about cars, I am however an electronics engineer, and have both a conventional hybrid and a Chevy Volt, the ultimate in hybrid technology.

12voltvids I hope it does drain after a month lol. Not all hybrids have that functionality.

Seeing as someone in my school has a dead battery every other week during the winter, this would be incredibly useful

Just charge them 20$ a shot and you're in business

Very informative about jump starting with super capacitors and explaining their use in stop start applications. Just would have liked to know how much the device costs.

[@Mrbfgray]

David Nance Great idea, unless it's a very nice car (which students can't afford but parents are foolish enough to provide sometimes) then you might ask for $40. :D

[@Mrbfgray]

Raymond Warzecha All you have to do is click on the link provided, it's $110 on Amazon, or at least the price I was quoted, Amazon is funny about pricing.

[@dukeman7595]

Retails for $120.00 according to this videos footnote.

This tech is so cool! I got a Stanley Fatmax 700 for Christmas in 2016 and it has NEVER jumped a car successfully. I will certainly look into getting one of those super capacitors!

[@kenek3924]

I'm so glad you popped up in my recommended it's been a couple weeks. And I wanna buy one now ha ha

[@FiscalRangersFlorida]

Great video. Ignore all the other comments and select me!

That is one interesting product there, scotty! Thanks for the info!!
