Expand Jumper cables or kits? I bought a jumper cable from wow for around 1400 (i think). It's nothing complecated really, just get the thickest wires you can afford. As long as your battery is 12v35 or 12v45 most cables will be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand so the jumper cables should be fixed into a meter board or some kind of a gajet to get the power right? does it come with the jumper cables? whats the difference between the jumper cables and the jumper kit?

Rumesh88 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 @PreseaLover Jumper cables are just two passive copper wires thick enough to carry the cranking amperage (which is in the order of 300A) with two crocodile clips on either end to attach to battery terminals. You need to connect it to a battery of another car to jump start. Jumper kits on the other hand come with a battery bank to give your batter quick boost. Also included with them are other options like air compressor, torch etc. Both these have their own pros and cons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCat Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Most cigarette lighters sockets are rated at around 120 watts. This means the socket should be able to pull 10A, possibly fused (maxed) at 15 or 20 AMPs. How that little jumper could start a car (even a small 4 cylinder) is beyond me.! You might be better off getting a set made using some good quality copper cable. I recently tried to start a 2.3 litre petrol GDI engine with a 400 AMP cable, the cable just couldn’t pull enough juice to start the car.!
