This is a casual use consumer product so I pulled the cables out of the pack, reinserted and then reattached the cable to the car. The battery clips on this booster pack do no have hardcore springs on them. No problem stopped by his car after work check his battery for polarity and found at 9volts applied the Type S and got a Red & Green flashing light and the LCD had a message it wanted me to start over. One of my coworkers approached me prior to end of shift and asked if I could jump his car a Toyota 4 Runner with a weak battery. Especially with a white label product called “Type S”. After watching Project Farm’s youtube video on jump batteries I’m a little dubious about packaging claims. I haven’t tested any of the claims about battery capacity or starting amperage / cold cranking amps.

Something appears to be amiss either in your cables (connections must be clean - including both end of the ground connection and any auxiliary ground straps). I never had a battery "failure" when out on the road. No battery tender and I often went out in January or February when the roads were clear and it started right up - even with the air temperature around 0 degrees.
