Car Projects
No car projects or works in progress were report this month. Dino Perez noted that he has on a couple of occasions used a device to assist stranded motorists with a dead battery. The device is small and takes less space than a set of jumper cables
and easier to use. The device is the PowerAll Jump Starter. This small unit packs 12,000 mAh of Lithium ion battery power capable of jump-starting a vehicle twenty times on a full charge. It also functions as a portable power bank with two 5V/2.1A USB ports. The unit that Dino has, came with a carrying case for easy storage. The unit is available via Amazon or Wal-Mart for around $65.
