Jumping a car with Power Pack that has no battery
Is it possible or safe to start a car with a power pack type jump starter in place of a car battery? Has any one done this? A truck I'm working on has been sitting for a long time and don't want to buy a battery if it doesn't run.

Yes! I have used my "Jump Box" in place of a battery several times to move cars around the shop. As long as it is a powerful enough version, it is basically just a battery anyway.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
