It would be better to put a separate battery/power system that is to the glow plug and ignition circuits so that those can run at full voltage. This secondary system can be charged by the vehicle when it is running. | |

Improved readability, corrected grammar.

| Jan 8, 2018 at 22:37 | comment | added | Vince Patron | That's a very confusing explanation. Can you just simply say if you are trying to charge the lithium battery starter pack or are you trying to help out your car's starter by running DC into your cigarette lighter port? If it is trying to start, why don't you just clamp it onto your battery directly? | |
