In an effort to get as light as possible I used to run a Lithium ion battery in one of my previous cars. It was technically a summer only car but I drove it as long as there was no snow or salt on the road. It got pretty dicey in late November/early December after a 12hr night shift. It always started, but since they regain voltage as they heat up, I often had to short crank it 3-4 times to let the battery heat before it would actually turn it fast enough to start.

Anyone had a look at the "Rescue Mate" jump starter? http://www.rescue-mate.com
This uses capacitors instead of lithium batteries, and charges from the residual power still in the car battery.

Hmm, interesting, never thought about warming it up that way

I've seen videos online about it. Seems like a brilliant idea for those in cold climates. Realistically I can bring my jumper inside with me during the winter when I'm at work or over night, but it is a hassle and the capacitor solution would allow you to leave it in your car all winter until you need it

Let's see if this works. EDIT: Photobucket's back I guess

Perspective

It was starting a 12.5-1 G13 with about 250 psi craking pressure
