can the JNC 300 be used as a jump starter with a male to male cord through the cigarette lighter

This battery pack could be used as the "source" for some "jump-start" devices that use the lighter outlet for connecting the cars together. However I'll add a few comments about using those lighter connected "jump-start" devices. First, several such devices like the Wagan Jumper item 9796 will draw more power than they deliver to "pump" the power, thus they waste some of the energy being transfered. Also they only work if you have a good battery in the car that accidentally got drained, so if the car battery won't hold enough of a charge to start the car, you'll never get going from the "trickle charge" they provide. Those also can take 15-30 minutes to give you enough charge to start, so don't be expecting to plug it in and 30 seconds later to be turning the key to start. Speaking of the key, you also need to have the key in the "accessories" position while charging the car so the lighter is connected to the battery in the car, but you're not draining power with the cars engine computer running like while in the "on" position. So with all of those issues, most don't like those lighter "jump-start" devices (look at the reviews of such), but that doesn't mean they don't work for some.

now why in the heck would you want to attempt that? I doubt it. Just do it the right way.

Yes, definitely! You will not lose functionality of the outlet. With this converter, you don't have to "tap in" necessarily in the traditional way. All you have to do is remove the fuse for the cigarette lighter, insert the converter, then insert the 20 amp fuse into the converter. Just make sure you install the appropriate fuse for the other device into the second fuse slot on the coverter.

I also have one on my bike. I have the alligator clip attachment for it. I don't see why it can't be used to jump start.

No, the solenoid is separate and mounted beneath the battery on the firewall. Do not buy a starter with the solenoid attached.

Maybe you could using a 110V converter that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. I would check with the manufacture!

Consider purchasing a $20 power source (e.g. Walmart). This is escentially a battery with its own clamps to hook on to a 12 volt battery to jump start it, but it also has a cigarette lighter plug in. Use your 12 volt car pump plugged into this and you'll have the speed without being tied to the car. The unit is also great for a jump start if ever you need it.

Most likely but I wouldn't recommend it. This may over power the starter. But I'm no expert FYI.

so this solar male to male can jump start me car from inside without having to go under the hood?

Yes if you want them both on the same switch. I used it to wire up to the battery on my four wheeler. My only suggestion is you run it to a power source that doesn't constantly have power to it. I used the 12 volt cigarette lighter for mine. Reason being the small light on the switch doesn't stay on unless the key is in and on therefore not draining my battery.

Yes. This is what I used it for. Remember the cord is short unless your lighter unit is dash mounted

no i wouldnt thing so i hooked mine to a cigarette lighter plug you could possibly wire them both to the same plug if that helps?

I don't think anything that would have a plug on it would be heavy enough wire to jump a dead battery. If you meant to charge the battery so it will start (not have to hook it up and jump immediately without allowing other dead battery to charge) you might find one with two male ends or you could easily make one by cutting two inexpensive ones wires and making sure you align the positive wire (the one going to the middle pin on the male plug) to be positive. Keep in mind if you accidentally brush anything grounded in the care with that protruding point it could spart or short the fuse that often is in the male end or your fuse panel that is connected to your access point in either vehicle. Plugging it in like that would also require both power points in both vehicles to be on-so if it is not live when the key is not switched on it won't charge. The wires in these alligator clips is unusually heavy and would support higher voltage draw you might get with a totally dead battery on the other end. But if your wires in the vehicle are not sized that heavy you could risk fire or blow the fuse. A dead battery will draw heavily when first attached, especially if you activate the starter to try to start it, it could melt your wires or blow the fuse then. Good luck-

Get a jump starter that had the cigarette lighter outlet on the side. My grill came with the plug for that power source.

That is the exact purpose of this cord (for charging the "jump-start" batteries in a car). It's not a long cord since it should reach a lighter plug with the battery on the floor or seat of the car (very close). For more info on using it (and some cautions), see my review of this.

Hi, J. I am sorry, but this may be a question the manufacturer could answer. I don't know about your jump starter. It did not work for my potable air compressor even though the ad said it would. Thanks and best wishes!

Yes it is....and then some. You will be able to run to charger from the cigarette lighter to up one of the sides by a door and back upto the center of the windshield tuning along the top. That is how I have mine. It is hard to see my Cord unless you look for it.

Yes Robert - but you will need a special adapter for the cigarette lighter in the car to connect a household DC adapter to the adapter in the cigarette lighter - your best bet is to go to an electronics store with the player to make sure you get one that will fit and work for you
