... 'cause it is not strong enough.

If you have a dead battery, the Motomaster Eliminator 600A PowerBox will not boost/start your Delica.
Thanks to TardisDeli's Jay we know now, that you need 257 Amps to start the car, but even a fully charged PowerBox won't have enough juice.

Not surprising...

I cringe when I read posts of people wanting to cheap out on their batteries. These are diesel engines. They require serious power to crank them.

My own estimate was 300 amps, 200 for the starter and 100 for the glow plugs. I'm glad to see this confirmed.
