Lithium-ion Batteries?

Stumbled upon this while looking at battery tenders. No idea about the cost.

For engines bigger than 2000cc, especially for a diesel, there is a technique for using it. Same as in using a jumper, it will only work IF your car battery still has some charge and can still receive a charge. So like when you use a jumper that you connect to the battery of another vehicle, you are NOT using the other vehicle's battery SOLELY to start your car, you first use it to charge your discharged battery. After revving the other car for a minute or two the "dead" battery would have taken enough charge and that plus the other car's charging system is enough to crank your engine. So when you use the Li-Ion battery you connect it, wait 1 minute for the charge to transfer to the dead battery then crank the car.

I've used mine 2x, once with success and the other failed. It was able to start a kia sorento 2.2 using the above technique. With a dead battery on a 3.2 ford everest di kinaya. Nag crank siya pero sobra mabagal.

is it safe to use the cigarette lighter as entry point?
or is clamping to the battery the safer way?

No idea, though i have seen those being sold. But di ba to use the cigarette lighter you need to turn the ignition ON. Di kaya mapunta lang yung charge sa iba (e.g., ecu, bcm, instrument panel, and anything you forget to turn off).

oo nga naman.
sayang yung kakaunting kuryenteng ibang pinuntahan.
it might just spell the difference between a successful expedition and a failed failure.

Cigarette lighter can be used maybe to charge the dead battery.. but not for cranking as the system turns off all accesories for full starting power.

Also cig lighter is rated only around 10A.. fuse might get busted
