HULKMAN
Twice the power of most compact jumpers. If you drive a truck, SUV, or anything with a bigger engine, the extra amps provide that critical starting power in cold weather.
2000A
20000mAh
Up to 8.5L gas/6L diesel

AVAPOW
The kitchen-sink approach: jump starter plus tire inflator plus flashlight plus power bank. If you want one device that does everything, this is it—but it's bulkier than single-purpose tools.
4000A (claimed)
All gas/7L diesel
Air compressor, light
USB-C PD
BEATIT
The budget option that actually works. 800A is enough for most 4-cylinder and V6 cars. Not fancy, but starts your car when you're stuck—which is the whole point.

NOCO
The professional-grade jump starter. Works reliably down to -4°F—critical if you live somewhere that actually gets cold. Waterproof, USB-C charging, built to last.

Quality lithium jump starters hold charge for 6-12 months. Check and top off every few months. Store in moderate temperatures—extreme heat or cold reduces battery life. Most will beep when charge is low.
Technically yes, but it may not have enough power. Diesel engines and V8s in cold weather need more cranking amps. Using an undersized unit repeatedly without success can damage it. Match the jump starter to your engine.
Usually means the dead battery is too discharged (below 2V). Some jump starters have a "boost" or "override" mode for extremely dead batteries. Check your manual—it's usually holding a button for 3 seconds.
Jump starter: works alone, no second car needed, safer (no spark risk if properly designed), compact. Jumper cables: simpler technology, no batteries to maintain, requires another vehicle. Both have value—a jump starter in your car, cables in your garage.
