This is great information to remember and maybe even try out before an emergency happens. People toss away these batteries all the time.
Maybe it’s time to start stockpiling these bad boys for that just-in-case moment and take advantage of the stupidity of others.
In a SHTF situation, getting power may be hard or pretty non-existent if you have no solar or wind generators.
Car batteries are not always as dead or flat as we think. Yes, to start a car, you need hundreds of amps.
Normal sealed lead batteries like the one above are not ideal to keep as a solar or wind bank but they do work better. If SHTF there will be millions of cars abandoned and millions of batteries. (Not that stealing is legal, just saying.)
