I read that and though it was just not edited out. Rev up the charging vehicle and leave connected for 3 minutes? Sounds like jump starting an ICE vehicle not charging a 12V battery. I think it would be best to use a charger and the port connections?
Great thanks
Yup a charger makes sense but trying to understand all options in an emergency
Ford shop manual says 100 foot pounds or 135 newton metersNot unless 204 Nm is also a misprint.
And it’s ftLb
lb/ft is doubly wrong (there is no division, and the order matters mathematically).
Understand and it sure does not read clear. CC makes sense you can jump start an ICE with a bev but the same can not be returned.
You won't need an audio cue anymore.
I knew I’d get a taker
Moments are vector math. It’s not T = r *times* f, it’s τ⃗ =r⃗ ×F (except I can’t figure out how to get the arrow over the F).
Cross products are non-commutative. r cross f doesn’t equal f cross r. If it were a dot product, it could go either way.
meter Newtons is mathematically correct, while the convention (Nm) is not.
You're both absolutely correct. Unfortunately I believe you are both also incorrect given the context. We aren't calculating torque when we torque a bolt. We are measuring torque. The unit we are measuring is the "Pound-foot" which in this context is defined as the torque equal to that created by X pounds of force applied perpendicular to a one foot moment arm. The notation is correct because that is the definition of the torque we are measuring. In other fields certainly notation is different, but in the field of a mechanic measuring torque, this is the notation currently in use. That said, "Foot-Pounds" is also in common use and as such is also correct. Although given the definition it doesn't make much sense technically. But mechanics have no problem interpreting either notation so the point is "Moo." It's like a cow's opinion; it really doesn't matter.
That caught my attention, too. There are two likely reasons for that lower temperature limit:
If the 12v battery is too low on charge to function then it needs to be boosted to turn on the car. Connect a jumper battery or another vehicle to the 12v battery with jumper cables. If the helper (charging) vehicle is an ICE, then rev it up for a few minutes. This will allow the ECM to sense the voltage loss of the flat battery and turn up the alternator for max current to the charging circuit.
I had to spend time in Edmonton and got to experience -40 and below. (For those of you lucky enough to never have experienced -40, it doesn't matter if its fahrenheit or celsius, it's the same temp either way.) So I know you're wrong. Because as soon as you stretch out that cord you're going to get on an airplane and get the hell to somewhere warmer.
Thanks; I will check out Grizzle. I have snapped extension cords in half and know not all coatings are equal when it comes to block heater extensions cords. Especially when you want to wind them up before leaving.

This is why i bought a juicebox pro. Operating temperatures: -30 to +50 C
Sorry to say, but what we get in America is a small step above a tea candle in a jelly jar compared to what the modern world (read ANYWHERE else) gets for headlights. Our European friends are going to be getting active matrix headlamps, if I’m not mistaken. All because of the incredibly powerful tea candle and jelly jar lobbyists in this country ?I don't know about you, but automatic high beam lights are worth the $54K price-tag alone! Very Nice!
