Given the accounts of dead 12v batteries AND the Winter temperatures, I have been thinking of getting a portable jump starter. The world seems to be divided into two approaches;
1)The traditional models that have a lead-acid or Lithium-ion battery that needs to be kept charged or;
2) The models without batteries but high capacity capacitors that work by charging themselves (for about 3 minutes) from your dead battery (sounds counter-intuitive), but can also be filled by plugging into home current. An example of this is here.
These latter units are light weight, do not need to be kept charged, and have a 10,000 cycle life expectation. There are some issues with them if your 12v is completely dead, but not sure how that would apply to the Ioniq5. Any experiences one way or another or suggestion for a lightweight easy to use traditional unit?
