Jump Starters

[David]

I saw an ad in Hemmings for a very small jump starter and then found more on the internet

PowerUp 700 | 700A Portable Car Jump Starter/Power Bank (scosche.com) (https://www.scosche.com/catalog/product/view/id/9629)
Portable Car Jump Starter | Multi-Function (WX852L) | WORX (https://www.worx.com/en_CA/multi-function-portable-car-jump-starter-with-usb-charging-wx852l.html)

It turns out that I am quite capable of knocking a light switch with my knee and returning to a dead battery. One of these would be helpful. How many amps should I get for a 200XS ROS? I know it takes a lot more current to turn that over than our 150 HO Etec.

I've read 1,000 cold cranking amps for an optimax.

Bud of mine has one of these for his airboat. Aircraft engines take a lot of power to turn over. This thing does it with ease. Seems fairly waterproof too.

I have a couple of the AntiGravity ones... big one and a couple of the "sport" ones. Most of the time the battery isn't "stone dead" and the "sport" model will start my V-10 if it's too dead to start but the lights & stuff still work.

IMO Best on market and we have jump-started over 100 cars/trucks in last 2 weeks. I have owned many and way better than anything snap-on has. I'm not antigravity fan but thats just from my personal experience. I know a bunch of people on here run there batteries. This pack will start a diesel truck in dead of winter.

Wonder why yours says 4000amp and the same model for sale now is 3000amp... wondering if they actually changed the battery or just the "rating"? Either way that's a lot of "boost" for $300. :cheers:

That's the one I have and it's been bullet proof.

I don’t think I need the full 1000. Usually my batteries are not stone dead when I accidentally leave something on

I have punished my GB 70 many times. It started my SuperDuty Diesel effortlessly. I had my doubts but they sure do seem to work great.

I put one in my wife's & sons cars. Saves them if the need it. As a result we don't carry Jumper cables any more, Works on my boats also.

Our shop used the same GB 150 model Twister 97 has at at the Marina. I agree, that unit is an animal.

I have a few antigravity XP-10 and they work real well. Also small enough to carry in the boat when in doubt.
