"Auto Starter"

  Texaco has sent me an advert for a device called "Auto Starter".  It is
described as being a sealed 14.5v alkaline battery with 5 amps "of
recharge power to start your vehicle". The thing plugs into the cigar
lighter
  MGs, of course, being the trusty steeds that they are, would never need
such a device,(besides, they  can be push started), but this could be
useful for some vehicle equipped with automatic trans, one supposes.
  Questions--how can this little thing (2.5 x 7.5 x 1.875 inches) 
provide the power to crank over an engine, and how can cigar lighter
wires carry enough current for the starter motor?
Bob
