Can an ICE vehicle be jump started by a Rivian?

[orionexp]

If you have an ICE vehicle that needs jumping from your Rivian, how would this be accomplished?

Is there a device you can plug into the 110v system, the 12v jack, or some other method?

Thanks!

isn't it simply easier to have one of these?

I literally thought your title meant jumped as in jumped over, and I clicked for the video. I am disappointed OP ?

I had the same thought but was rather relieved to find it was nothing so crazy.

The Rivian 12V primary batteries (there are two of them) are too small to safely jump start a ICE vehicle. Pulling that much load can permanently damage them.

I purchased a NOCO Boost Pro GB150 which is 3000 amps and can pretty much jump any vehicle on the road today. Also has USB for charging devices.

accessories.chevrolet.com has a few different NOCO Boosts for sale and if you use the coupon code LEGENDS at checkout you'll get 20% off which makes it the cheapest place I found to buy one.

This is the way. Carry the jump start battery around and - if you need it but find it's not charged - then *charge it using the 120v in the truck bed*

That was fast and easy

In my Silverado I tapped into the cigarette lighter and ran a wire to the back under the carpet under the rear seats and it was always charged (I stored it in the storage under the seats). The fuse was only on when the vehicle was on so it didn't charge all day long and drain the vehicle battery. It always had a full charge if I ever needed it. I'd like to do the same with the Rivian one day.

Or you could just connect it to a battery maintainer and plug that into one of the 120V outlets. Then it's always ready to go.

I guess I could do that temporarily but the perfect spot (in my opinion) to store this beast would be under the seats along with tire plug kit, and other roadside assistance tools.

OP as well as any of us would want one of those in R1 anyway. 12V battery dying in R1 is much worse than it is in an ICE.

Anyone knows which one is sufficient for R1? I assume, it does not need as much juice to bring back the electronics to life. So 1000 amp is enough?
