Ranked #3 in Best Portable Jump Starters

NOCO Boost HD GB70

4.3

1 source$159.96as of Oct 12

Big-engine and diesel owners want the Boost HD GB70. Its 2000A reliably cranks 8.0L gas and 6.0L diesel motors, the 40-jump reserve means you can go months without thinking about it, and the rugged cables shrug off shop and trail abuse. Weight, bulk and a dated micro-USB charging port are the costs.

Strengths

— Up to 40 jumps per charge so it rarely needs a top-up in the trunk
— Over-engineered 8AWG clamp cables built for repeated heavy-duty outdoor use
— Smart sensing delivers only the current the connected battery needs, protecting electronics

Watch-outs

— Overkill for someone who only jumps a four-cylinder commuter car

Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Portable Jump Starters

WOLFBOX MegaVolt24

4.6

1 source$178as of Oct 19

The MegaVolt24 is the high-capacity value play: 4000A and a 24000mAh pack, enough to jump almost anything and still keep your devices charged for days. TechGearLab made it an Editors' Choice and Pro Tool Reviews found it worked as advertised. Size counts against it, as does a younger brand reputation, though the lifetime warranty takes the edge off the latter.

Strengths

— USB-C 65W PD for laptops and devices
— Built-in LED flashlight with SOS mode
— Multiple safety protections included

Watch-outs

— Price higher than entry-level options
