Description
Forgot your car lights on and now your battery is dead? Worry no more! The brand new Stanly Portable Jumpstarter will bring your battery back up to 15% and save the day!
How it works
- How do I use the battery jumpstarter?
- Open your vehicle's mechanics window, right click the battery, and click "Jumpstart". The jumpstarter can be in your main inventory or in any bag you're carrying.
- When does it work?
- Only on car batteries at 10% charge or lower. Each attempt uses one charge and has a 75% chance of bringing the battery up to 15%.
- How do I recharge it?
- The jumpstarter holds 5 charges and doesn't need a generator nearby to be used. Once it runs out, go to a generator that's turned on, right click it, and click "Recharge Jumpstarter". Each charge costs 0.1 L of generator fuel, so a full recharge uses 0.5 L (Build 41: 1 fuel unit per charge).
- Where can I find it?
- It can spawn in mechanic shops, car supply stores, garages, Gigamarts, and vehicle trunks.
- Can I change the numbers?
- On Build 42, yes. The Battery Jumpstarter page in Sandbox Options lets you change the success chance, the battery charge after a jumpstart, the maximum battery charge that can be jumpstarted, and the fuel cost per charge.
