Can Jackery Jump Start a Car?

No, Jackery Portable Power Stations cannot jump-start a car, but you can use them to charge most vehicle batteries (except electric cars) via a Jackery 12V Automobile Battery Charging Cable. This is because a large current is required to jump-start a dead car battery, and the power stations are not designed for this particular purpose.
