Why aren’t car batteries smaller?

111 viewsEngineeringOther

I’ve been shopping around for an emergency jump starter to carry around in the car. I’ve found jump packs that are roughly a little larger than a cell phone, and produce 1000 amps or more. What is keeping them from being a main car battery?

Its the amount of energy stored, not the amount of energy produced.

A car battery holds 10 to 20 times more electricity inside of it then even a good cellphone battery.
