i've seen stuff like this pop up before..... and i just ran a calculation to be sure:

6000mAH(let's just call it 6 amp-hours)

12 amps for 1/2 hour
24 amps for 1/4 hour
48 amps for 1/8 hour
96 amps for 1/16 hour
192 amps for 1/32 hour
(and to get it in the 300 range)
288 amps for 1/48 hour

1/48 hour is 1 minute, 15 seconds.

that MIGHT be enough current to start your average car in most conditions, but from what i'm told of these units, you don't just hook them up and attempt to start, you let them sit connected for a few minutes before doing anything else.
