not sure on durability pero mga 2 months ko na gamit pang testing ng sounds and electrical. ok pa naman. A full charge last around 2 days with moderate to heavy use. worth it na kung tumagal ng 1 year.![]()
Done with my custom booster cable. 15ft, 25mm2 AWG3, largest Panther clamp at Deeco.
More than thrice the weight of the commercial booster.

Challenging part is the crimping and soldering.
Cold solder
Can't complain, im using cheap soldering station limited to 480C
Solution.. Torch it
Nice and neatly cooked solder

when you solder electrical components, use rosin core flux, do not use acid core or solder and acid cleaner like what you see them use on radiators

Just ordinary 60/40 Rosin core 1.2mm,
*madduck - from spare wires of my inverter welder. 25mm2, around AWG3 based from the conversion chart.
Those clamps are made from steel with copper plating because pure copper can't be that strong. I couldnt find seamless lug-type clamps so I crimped it using ordinary punch. Seamless eye terminal lugs are good when crimped by hydraulic press, no soldering needed..
Im planiing to make 3 more for the other cars. Im giving away the old jumper wires.![]()
you can still use soldering wire with rosin core, but you will have to feed it fast! mebbe if you can source the thicker size..
or you can use the lead bar they use in radiator shops. but you need to get some rosin to add to the parts you are gonna solder, to make the metals stick well.. kahit sa ace, meron nyan.
and you can use a small blowtorch, to heat it faster and evener..
i know this system works, because we have used it before, to solder battery cables to battery clamps.
good luck.

If you are referring to the seamless lugs, like this one laying around my box.
You may solder it
But the proper tool is this hydraulic crimper. No soldering needed.
the one in ace is fine.
the metal pieces you are going to solder together, have to be shiny. sandpaper them. the rosin helps the solder to stick to the metals. and the metal pieces have to be good and hot, for the solder to work well. that is why you need a big heat source, like a small blowtorch or an industrial soldering iron.
and there are some metal types you can not solder, because solder won't adhere to them.. aluminum, stainless steel,
to the guys who prefer crimped ends, the stores selling these cables may have such crimping tool to assist customers with..
Ito na yung pinagawa ko. Nagamit ko sa battery nang rav4. Nadischarge kc. Hehe

Fasten your seatbelt! Or else...Driven To Thrill!
The other night at almost 11pm, my brother called me up saying his car wouldn't start because of dead battery (he left the car with headlights on). Given his car doesn't pack jumper cables, he called me to drive over where he was to use mine. When I got there, I found out he was with his friends with a total of two other cars whom he could have used to jump start his car if any of them had jumper cables with them... unfortunately no one did, hence the call to me to help him out.
Anyway, just me ranting...
People who drive AT cars should make it a point to have jumper cables as standard part of their car's "tool-kit".

I saw a jumper cable battery booster in HMR and I believe this is also available in CD-R king. Just how reliable it is? Baka pagdating ng oras ng pangangailangan hindi ito gumana.![]()
