Can you use compact/small car jumper cables on large cars/trucks?
Oct 07, 2009 by Chris H | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
i went to go buy jumper cables and i found really cheap ones for small or compact cars and it went up from there to mid size and heavy duty for suvs and trucks. i always thought i could use any jumper cables but am i wrong? i got a durango so would i
You cannot, the amperage that the small cables will allow is not enough for a larger sized car that requires more power. I deal with batteries daily. I have learned for myself.

The driving fun sewn into the fabric of every MINI never fails to bring a smile to the face. And now it can also be enjoyed - with the roof up or down - in the first model from the brand designed strictly for two people. The MINI Roadster, the sixth model in the British premium carmaker's current line-up, gives the small car segment another innovative shot in the arm. The typically MINI interpretation of a compact roadster embodies unadulterated sportiness and spontaneous urban driving fun under the open sky. Powerful engines and sophisticated chassis technology with model-specific tuning see to it that the characteristic MINI go-kart feeling is always on tap. And the MINI Roadster's classical soft-top roof, which can be easily opened and closed manually, ensures open-top driving pleasure can be lapped up at every opportunity.
The faithful reproduction of the hallmark MINI design language within the proportions of a roadster gives the first open-top two-seater in the history of MINI an unmistakable and irresistible charisma. Even with the roof closed the MINI Roadster displays an elegant, sweeping silhouette, with the transition from soft-top to rear end highlighting its characteristic three-box design particularly clearly. This layout encompasses a clear visual separation of the car's boot (capacity: 240 litres) from the passenger compartment, while a wide through-loading system behind the seats enhances practicality.
