How many amps is this thing supposed to deliver? Volts are fine but the horsepower is in the amperage.

If your battery is just weak, it might add enough juice to get you going.

Looking on Amazon they are1200 to 1600 ma

Saw this in my email - I've used one to get airplane (67 182) to get cranked when Alternator belt went south. Used to start pickups that were left in hunting camps for months of non use . Belive it's a great product -Li pro Batteries -light weight but needs A/C power to charge .

Looks like something that would be great to have in the plane for whenever you might need it or to charge your cell phone or whatever

Looks like a nice option, compact yet powerful. I might have to get one.

Any suggestions for a 24 Volt Airplane? I found this but it's about 5 times the price at $550 and weighs 45lbs.

Just found this version for 1/2 the price. Would 350 amps at 24volts (700 amps at 12volts)be enough to reliably jump start an IO520?

Did you see the weight of that thing? Instead of a 44 pound battery, you could haul a spare 24v battery along--or a 2000 watt Honda generator and a smallish 24v battery charger, which would be more useful. Really.

This looks like a rebranded version of the Antigravity Battery Microstart. I both the Microstart and it works great charging up my handheld devices. I haven't used it to jump start my car or airplane yet. It's going to stay in my airplane.

Agreed. Both units I linked to were 44 lbs, which is ridiculously heavy when compared to the 3 lb PocketPower unit. I'd rather not carry around another large 24v battery or generator in my bird all the time. I wasn't able to find anything like the PocketPower in a 24v version, but emailed them to see if two could be wired in series. I'll give an update when I hear back.

I may just shop around for a 24v Li Polymer battery, get the proper charger for it. Does anyone know what Peak Current rating would be adequate for jumpstarting an engine?
