I see, so whether a battery or other energy source is capable of delivering 600 amps for 1 sec or 1 hour doesn't matter?
Battery ability is
I see, so it's more than just the amps delivered for an instant.
Rule of thumb is the battery needs to be able
None of which has anything to do with using watts to measure a starter.
Can't be, R stays that starters can't be spec'd in watts.
Which fits into what I've been saying, that the code reader doesn't use power in a few minutes that's significant compared to the starting power needed.
Not sure of your point. The jump starting was done, I think, with the code reader no longer attached. But even if it was, so what? The additional battery supplies a lot more power to overcome whatever is going on.
You really do have a reading comprehension problem, don't you?! Reread what I actually said instead of playing "twist and shout".
Now we could either talk about the amps drawn
Actually Watts x time would be Energy with units of Joules.
One Joule of energy is 1 Watt of power for 1 second.

In other words, you're a pedant, deliberately creating an argument over a difference that you

WooHoo! Another "Plonker"... how original. Dig out your watt meter and tell me all about it.
Neither am I now that I've reread of what I wrote. Dummy attack on my part.
If Stormy was still around he'd chastise you for apologizing on the internet. You're supposed to argue your point even if you don't know what you meant. How dare you acknowledge your own shortcomings in public? Shame on you!
