can this be used on a starter battery

In regards to the question one side hooks up to the starter battery and the other (aux) battery

yes thats usually the battery one would have separated to eliminate the possibility of it draining

I really doubt that. The description of the fuse block states it is for 30 amp fuses. You should look for the amps rating of each device to see if it is less than 30 amps. Any starter I have seen normally draws well in excess of 30 amps. I don't have any documentation with me on that fuse block to verify, but you must also total up the running load of all devices and make sure it is below the rating of the entire fuse block.

Devices with electric motors require a deep cycle battery that can be regularly drained of it's charge and then recharged. Starter batteries by contrast are designed to deliver short high current bursts to get an internal combustion engine running. Starter batteries are designed to use very little of their capacity at a time and need to be kept above 75% charge. These batteries while better and lighter than lead acid starter batteries are not deep cycle and should not be used for electric golf carts, trolling motors, electric skateboards, or electric bicycles. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_cycle_battery.

Yes will work as a jump starter. Have to plug it in its nice if you need to slow charge a battery as well. Very well made.

No, I don't think this battery is really suited for that purpose. It has plenty of cranking amps available for starting engines, but not long time deep discharge capabilities that a trolling motor would demand of it.

Not sure, if the solenoid is in the starting circuit, I would say no, as it is only rated for 80 A and starting currents typically exceed that. If is for charging the second battery I would think it would work, unless you have a 100 A or higher alternator.

No. It is not designed to be a starting battery. I would do fine on a trolling motor though.if your looking for a really prime starting battery check out the Optima blue top marine battery.

Yes, with a 3000mah battery or greater and in 5-7 second intervals! If starter is held for to long 550 motor will turn inside and twist wiring due to over heating! Hope this helps and have a blast!

I received your question but it was a battery solenoid that I purchased and not a starter solenoid. sorry I can't help.

This could "jump start" any car, but beware that the battery in this is very small (like rated at 5 amp/hour). I have another brands "jump-start" that has a 18 amp/hour battery and just to experiment, I disconnected my car battery and hooked mine up. It started the car (a ford festiva 4 cyl), but the starter was barely turning the engine. If that's what happens on a small car with a much bigger battery than this, I'd be very surprised if this would be able to start a V6 or bigger engine with a fully drained battery (like from leaving the lights on all night). If you left on some lights while in a movie for 2 hours it may have a chance, but that's all I'd expect. Feel free to look at reviews of this and similar priced ones (that have a similar battery) to see if there are a fair number of others saying the same thing I am.

yes u can but only the starter solenoid. u could probe the control wire on the solenoid directly (this would be the small wire). and apply power,or u could pull the starter relay and probe the load terminal (the wire going to the control terminal on starter solenoid) apply power & starter should spin over.

Yes, however it did not work for my application. I was going to use it as a battery cut off for my truck. Unfortunately it could not carry enough amps to start my truck when in the on position.

Generally... NO! If the battery has some charge left in it, the fifty additional amps may be enough to start the car. If the battery is totally dead, you will need to charge the battery for a while. Don't forget that the "cranking" current is several times 50 amps, hence the availability of the chargers on wheels that can supply this kind of current. Dave

This is a deep cycle wheel chair battery. It is not meant as a starting battery for a car.

No, that is a misprint or something of the sort, it is not at all suited to jump start a dead battery. However, if you were to leave it hooked up to a (nearly but not entirely) dead battery for 10 minutes, that would usually be enough to get the car started unless the battery itself is not just drained but also worn out or damaged/defective/etc, or unless it is very cold outside.

It should work, its draw is 5 amps with a slight spike when it starts according to my power meter during its run, so for a car battery a constant but relatively low level 5 Amp/60 watt drain, you would need to look at your car starting battery to see if this type of drain is supported, many car starting batteries are designed to provide one powerful burst of current to get your car started, not a long term drain.

In order to recharge the car's battery, the Simple Start unit puts out a higher than normal voltage that could damage other products. I wouldn't risk it, even if you find a way to wire up other things. If you need a portable cigar lighter socket, try a portable starter pack or similar product that has a 12V socket.
