All right. See a little latch right there. Stand right there. Get that up. Zoom down in there. You can see 1223. All right. It's 2 years old. two years old and we've already got our battery going out. It's awesome. Just in case my wife was going to get trapped somewhere else, I've been carrying this bad boy around. Got her hooked up. Takes any M18 battery. This is the only style of jumper box I know that has an external battery. And I mean, man, if you're already running the Milwaukee platform, no-brainer in my mind. Nice bright light, so you could actually see down in here as well. It's got a little USBC charger. You could emergency charge your phone on it as well. As quick as turning it on. I haven't had to use it yet, but I'm glad that I have it. Tells you how many volts it has on it. 12.2. Should be around 14 or something. Let's push that button. This is juicing up. All right, we're at 100. The light started beeping. Now we're able to fire up the car. Okay. See, now we're running 14.1 14.0. It's nice when you need this. I mean, I'm a fan. I'll put this back in the car. And these teeth, man, they're going to connect onto anything. They are They are rocking. There we go. And we'll do one more thing right here real quick is we'll come over to this side. Our alternator is right here. I think everybody's got one of these. You know, I keep one out in my shop. I keep one in the garage. This is a little multimeter from Harbor Freight. The rocking 20 volts there. So, if you see right down here, the wire going to the alternator. We'll get our positive on that. And then we'll put our negative anywhere on the alternator. And it's going to tell us we've got 14 volts on that alternator. Okay, that's good. That means our alternator's good. Our alternator is actually getting the juice that we want. It's good. It's our battery is the issue. The car was dead when we were on our way to church today. So, bummer. I'm going out of town tomorrow and I don't want to leave my wife with a jacked up battery. Yeah.
