I know you plug it into the cigarette lighter and the DEAD BATTERY powers it, but if the batteries dead then how the hell does it power anything. Does that thing convert small amounts of energy in large amounts or what? I cant figure it out.

This device basically works as another battery but it needs to stay and get its power from the car lighter which provides 12 V at the peak. Incase the car battery is dead then the jump starter would have been previously charged as recommended by the manufacturer, then the stored charge is enough to jump start the car.
I hope this helps..

I think you would charge it up, and then keep it in your car. If the charger was dead and the battery was dead you would need another car.
I would guess you keep the thing in your trunk and every month or two you have to pull it out, plug it into the cig lighter and top off the charge.

You charge it before the battery goes dead.
