Buying a jump starter could be a confusing affair. When buying a jump starter: do you look for peak amps or cold cranking amps? What’s the difference? Which one should be your basis in buying a jump starter?
Peak Amps or Cold Cranking Amps?
Some jump starters will put 900 peak amps like the JNC300XL, 2200 Peak Amps for the Schumacher PSJ-2212 and everything in between. Most buyers will be attracted to the products with the highest peak amps, but you should avoid that temptation. That is a bad criteria to assess your options.
What you should look for, instead is the jump starter’s Cranking Amps and Cold Cranking Amps. This is the actual power that the jump starter will supply to your car’s battery.
What if you have several vehicles with different engines? Say you have a 4-, 6-, or 8-cylinder car, will you need separate jump starters?
The good news is NO. You just need to choose the jump starter with the highest Cold Cranking Amps that you can afford. This way, if the battery of your car is totally dead, your jumpstarter has enough juice to bring it back from the dead. Just make sure to keep the jump starter, either at home, or in the trunk of the vehicle with the weakest or deadest battery.
What is Cold Cranking Amps
If you’re wondering, a battery’s Cranking Amps (CA) refers to the amount of power that a battery can discharge for 30 seconds at 32° F (0° C). It really is the amount of power you need to start your engine on any weather except winter.
On the other hand, Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) refers to the number of amps that a battery can push out for 30 seconds at 0° F without dropping under 7.2 Volts. Remember that a jump starter is really another battery supplying power to your car’s battery. It’s more difficult to start an engine during cold weather, that’s why batteries tend to have both the CA and CCA ratings.
If your battery reads 660 CCA, that doesn’t automatically mean that you need a jumpstarter with the same CCA rating. A product with a lower rating can power it up. A jump starter with at least 500 CCA can power up a car equipped with a 660-CCA battery.
But remember: if your battery is dead, a jump starter with high Cold Cranking Amps has better chances of reviving it and starting your engine.
This also does not mean that a battery with a lower CCA rating will be damaged by a jump starter with a higher CCA rating. Keep in mind that whenever you use a jump starter, it will only provide the power needed to start a battery. So even if your jumpstarter has 2200 Peak Amps, and you power up a 660 CCA rating battery, you won’t overload the car’s electrical system.
So here’s the bottom line…
Be more discerning in buying a jump starter. While peak amps may be a good measure of the maximum power output of a product, you should be considering Cranking Amps (CA) and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) primarily.

In the world of portable jump starters, confusion abounds.
Today in this post, I thought I’d put together a few helpful tips to get you pointed in the right direction.
I’ll look at sources for reviews, sources for procuring, and how to safely use a jump starter.
First, let’s go over the main reasons why you should own a portable jump starter.
- A jump starter is portable. Just keep the starter in the trunk.
- A starter pack gives you peace of mind when your car battery is weak or dead.
- You can boost your battery yourself without the need of another vehicle.
- A starter pack also provides portable 12 volt power to charge or run other devices like a laptop or cell phone.
- No need to worry about damaging the other vehicle, or your own if you are helping someone.
As with any device intended for emergency use, proper care and maintenance is needed to ensure your jumper is ready for use when you need it.
Keeping the portable jumper’s battery fully charged is key. It is generally recommended to recharge your portable jumper pack every three months.
There are few thing to keep in mind when considering which portable booster you should buy.
- Proper strength (amps)
- Weight
- Accessories
To properly size your starter pack consider the amp ratings. Here is a page that outlines the significance of amp ratings and how to size the right jumper for your application.
Most portable jumpers range from 8 pounds to 40 pounds. Weight generally goes up with the strength (amps) of the unit because a bigger battery is required.
Pick one that is the strongest in amps for your application, that you can still comfortably lift to about shoulder height.
Also, consider the need you might have for emergency lighting, tire inflation, and recharging cell phones and laptops.
Imagine the worst case scenario. Your car battery is completely dead, it is dark and your cell phone is also dead. Well, good thing you have a portable power pack in the trunk right?
Portable Jump Starter Reviews
When you have narrowed down the basic type of portable jumper you want by strength, weight, and accessories, a good thing to do is check out a few portable jump starter reviews.
Peak 900 Amp Jump Starter Manual Pdf
A good review will give you technical information, features, as well as customer ratings.
Most review sites endeavor to be honest and factual, even though they have affiliation with the particular product. Which means, when you make a purchase through the review site, the site owner will receive a commission.
Some folks will see this as a conflict of interest, and others will not.
The way I see it is like this. If the review site is serving up good, useful, quality information, the site owner should be compensated for his efforts.
That said, there are plenty of “thin” sites that are not really useful. You may want to stay way from those sites.
Here is an article by ConsumerReports.org that has merit, although “thin” and limited in it’s scope. I still believe it is useful because it is from a trusted source.
We Put Them To The Test
By ConsumerReports.org
Larger portable jump-starting devices that clamp to a car’s battery have become common in the past few years. But even smaller devices, which plug into a car’s power outlet, are now on the market.
These devices, which cost between $20 and $50, do not instantly start your car. They take 5 to 10 minutes to charge your battery when it’s low. But our testing in four vehicles of various sizes with drained batteries showed that only two of four portable jumpers, the Black & Decker Simple Start, $40, and the Schumacher e-Charge EC-4000, $50, worked on all the vehicles. All models were fully charged before each test.
These models have lead-acid batteries that can be recharged and used again. But they must be periodically recharged even if they’re not used because they lose their charge over time.
They’re also larger and weigh more than 4 pounds, so you’d probably want to store them in the trunk. Five of nine Schumacher batteries started our test vehicles, but two of them required additional charging beyond the manufacturer’s instructions. Four appeared to come with dead internal batteries and weren’t able to start our test cars even with additional charging.
We also tested the StartMeUp2, $20, and the Porta-Jump PJR-STH, $30, which are lighter in weight and small enough to fit in most glove compartments.
The StartMeUp2 needs no maintenance. But it contains a nonrechargeable battery that is good for just one use. Both models started only one of our vehicles.
Bottom line. If you want a portable model, the Black & Decker is the only one worth a try. But be sure to keep it charged. Your best bet is to buy a set of booster cables at least 12 feet long and between 4 and 6 gauge. They don’t need maintenance, and as long as you have access to a second vehicle, they can be used to jump-start any car.
Here are a few review sites that are worth checking out. Of course I will list CarBatteryHelp. I’m a little bias. ?
Sources For Procuring
Amazon
Amazon is one of my favorite online shopping places.
You can always be sure to find the lowest discounted prices and free shipping deals.
Here are two top selling lines of jump starters.
The JNC660 is well suited for most vehicles, while the MicroStart PPS is great for sports vehicles.
Clore Automotive JNC660 and
Autozone
Autozone carries Duramax as their main brand. They are local so you can go home today with one, but they don’t always have stock of a particular item you may want.
Here’s the top customer rated battery jumper you can find at Autozone.
Walmart
Walmart carries a full line of car battery jump starters. All top name brands with customer reviews and ratings.
What I like about Walmart is that you can order online and have the item shipped to the store for free.

You can also be assured of the low prices.
They seem to be price locked with Amazon, but I have seen prices higher at Walmart than at Amazon.
Here is the current best seller at Walmart
Access All Walmart Jump Starters Here
Harbor Freight
Harbor Freight has been a favorite place to go for many years.
They feature low cost tools and equipment.
Which is great for bargain hunters an those on a tight budget.
A word to the wise though, non-brand name items are usually of low to inferior quality.
Here’s the best rated car battery jump starter from Harbor Freight, but it’s only available at the store.
Home Depot
Alas we come to Home Depot.
Definitely a favorite for most people.
The products available at Home Depot are always good to top quality.
Home Depot also has a fair selection of car related tools and equipment, including portable jump starters.
Currently, Home Depot has 28 jump starters to choose from, 7 of which are available in the store.
Here are two of the top customer rated jump starters at Home Depot
How To Use A Portable Jump Starter
Although using a portable booster pack is straight forward and easy, here is how to use a portable jump starter properly on your car.
To use as a jump booster for a weak or dead car battery do the following:
- Connect the positive(red) clamp of the starter to the positive(red) cable of the battery.
- Connect the negative(black) clamp of the starter to a sturdy metal part of the engine or frame of the car, as far away from the battery as possible and keeping clear of moving parts.
- Start the engine.
- After the engine starts immediately disconnect the negative(black) clamp first, then the positive(red) clamp.
Here’s a video from Clore Automotive demonstrating the [easyazon_link asin=”B000JFJLP6″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”carbattery0e-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]Clore JNC660[/easyazon_link], which is a jumper I have reviewed here.
As you can see, it’s pretty easy to use one of these.
To use as a 12 volt portable power source is easy too.
Usually, these packs will come with a 12 volt power socket similar to the cigarette light in your car.
Just purchase a 12 volt inverter and plug in your 120 volt AC device. This is a great feature with tons of uses from camping to power outages.

I read of one man who used his power pack to power up his CPAC machine during a power outage. He wrote that it lasted for several days without a recharge.
When I’m outdoors and away from my car or truck, I love the fact that I can still use my laptop or small TV.
Conclusion
Procuring a portable starter for your car’s battery failures is a wise choice. It is better to use a car battery starter instead of regular jumper cables because of safety issues for the car and operators.
Consider these three factors:Best launcher for ios.
- Amps
- Weight
- Accessories
