Its got a bluetooth function that i managed to not fuck up and it shows base battery capacity, capacitor storage state of charge, voltages, and some other stuff. Its a crank battery back up and preserver I guess, not dissimilar to the portable jump start packs I think. Time will tell if it delivers the marketing blurb.

Something I see over here more often now are cars with start/stop systems. Once on a stoplight, the car shuts down the engine to save fuel and once the driver takes the foot of the brake pedal, it restarts, but quite quick it seems. I've been told that these systems don't crank from the battery otherwise it would reduce drastically the battery life span.

That said, did it crank you engine faster?
