For a smaller vehicle or a half-dead battery, 200 amps might be sufficient. You should check your vehicle's manual and see what the 'cold start' amperage requirement is. Larger vehicles might require 300 or even 400 cold start amps.
If you are looking for a portable recharger, make sure it provides enough amps for your vehicles. Also, try not to expose the recharger to below-freezing or above 100-degree temperatures, keeping in mind that the inside of your vehicle may get much hotter in the summer time than the outside air temperature!

∙ 13y agoThis depends entirely on the battery capacity of your vehicle. Typically, if you do not want to flat your battery, you should run as little as possible.
Most batteries contain between 100 to 500 amp-hours, but discharge a bit faster due to the electrochemical nature of lead-acid batteries in vehicles.
For example, drawing 1 amp off a battery usually flats it in under 8 hours.

Will the magnetic pull disappear when alternator is bad?
The way to test an alternator is to take it out and take it to a parts store, most will test it for free. If you want to test your alternator yourself you will need a volt meter. Start the car and have someone rev the motor to 2000 rpms and put your volt meter across the battery terminals ( pos to pos, neg to neg ). You should read 13.5 to 14 volts. If the reading is higher the voltage regulator is bad. If the reading is lower your alternator is not charging the battery sufficiently.

It is possible that your battery and\or alternator has failed. You have to have so much juice to get the safety switch to kick on so that you can move the gear shifter. Put in a new battery or charge the battery and I bet it will solve this. You should be able to take the key out any way. Good luck.
