I geared up this morning to catch the rush hour to go and pic up Swizzbee #2, loaded up car and off we go except 
. Put the key in the ignition and nothing battery flat as a pan cake.
After faffing wth a charger and about to call Electrifly to say can't make it today, I remembered about peeps having used a small lipo to get the instant high amps needed to start a car.
For my Boss mini spot welder I now use a Graphene 65/135c 3s 12.6v lipo this thing is small but mighty and only measures 150mm x 51mm x 21mm. A couple of croc clips and a bit of wire and I temporarily bodged up a connection to start the car, quite unbelievable that this can and does work. Not only works but does not have to be charged up much as my one was at storage voltage of 3.83v.
Jump leads no longer required.
I now have 4 uses for which they weren't originally designed for.
1. Starting a car.
2. Spot welder to make batteries.
3. For a bike.
4. Vapourising acid crystals to treat my bees.
Another job for tomorrow to solder longer wires to my croc clips and a proper connector to connect up to my 3s lipo.
