1. Not to quibble, but....

...it didn't sound like the "battery was dead" when he started his 'project'. Nor did it look like "the battery was dead" when he almost set himself on fire.

I didn't get all that physics mumbo-jumbo about why it should work, but that is because right off the bat, it sounded like A Solution in Search of a Problem. The template of free market science.

2. There are times when your battery is...

just missing the juice to start the car. This could solve that problem.

I wouldn't carry a case of AA's around, though, because that isn't that common.

Maybe park facing down hill, have a friend or stranger push start your car with their car bumper-to-bumper, or gather together a group of friends, acquaintances, or strangers.

Kids my age were still mobile even when their car batteries or starter motors wore out.

Or, there's the Russian way:
