Has anyone tested the speed that a mini-starter will spin the engine?
They all advertise "more torque" and "less current draw", but I figure there's got to be a trade-off somewhere, and NONE of the mini-starter ads talk about cranking speed.
As long as the engine starts, you'd think that wouldn't be too critical...but slow cranking is gonna really screw up your compression test results! A worn engine might not start if the cranking speed is too low.
