Considering that the cells in these batteries allow 20A discharge each, is it safe to use them to jump start a car when needed?

I saw a video on youtube where a guy that said he jump-started a truck with a Makita battery!

I was thinking to make one out of a Makita USB adapter case. Basically drill 2 holes in it and attach 2 clips to the connectors.

I’ve seen it down with a Milwaukee m12 too

I know a guy who always starts his ute with a Makita battery. Doesn’t even have a car battery in it.

Likely Story. Must cost him a fortune in alternators. Or does he just not use his lights?
