Re: Popular mechanic's on jump starting your or anothers car.
Not that I don't believe them, but these are the same folks who printed that the Saturn SL (base model) had only 89hp but remarkably, possessed 225 ft-lbs of torque. I knew it wasn't a misprint either when they then went on to state that these torque figures were in the Mustang GT range. That's when I stopped reading .<p>Warren

But unless you're getting a jump from a Kenworth....
Your voltage should never exceed 14 volts, or whatever it is the other car's charging system puts out. Now I have heard a looooong time ago about people getting jumps from tow trucks with a 24volt elec. system, it is rare these days.<p>Personally I HATE getting jumped.. I'd rather put it on a charger.. but if you must jump, just ensure that the jumpER has a 12v system, and you shoudl be fine.<p>Rich Quinlan<ul><li><a href="http://home.att.net/~richquinlan">Quinland</a></li></ul>
