I know this is kind of car related, but I think an ok topic. I was at thrift store the other day, I saw a pretty heavy power cord for a car. Has 2 identical ends though. Both the type that would fit in a socket. I thought this like a jumper cable of some sort, or what.
I figured nothing else it's heavy enough I could cut in 2 and use as a cord to make an inverter out of an old UPS unit some time.
I have seen things advertised to jump cars through lighters, but I'm not sure how that would even work. I would think even just charging battery without trying start would pop a fuse or something. I'm just curious if anybody ever used a cable like that, or knows if they would actually safely do what they claim.
