Default Battery Booster

Can anyone tell me if the Black and Decker Simple Start Battery Booster has enough "juice" to start a C6 assuming that it is fully charged. Product literature says it will start most cars. I know their are other Battery Boosters on the market, but I was given this one. Below is a link to product specs.

Thanks !!!!!

Couldn't make your link work but if its this one

It puts out 7A at 12V for 15 minutes. That 'might' get your battery up to the needed voltage to let the computer attempt a start. It would depend on how 'low' your battery is. Is this a "jump" type start, NO. It just puts a top charge on a battery. The vette doesn't take a huge amount of current to crank, its just that computers monitor everything. It would probably get your OnStar on line so you could call a service truck.

It may work if you battery has not been deep cycled. It your battery is flat, I do not believe it will help.
