How many Cold Cranking Amps for a jump starter?

02 Feb.,2024

 

Several years ago (still in a company truck) I was here at the house and the truck wouldn't start. Company policy is that if you're parked at the house and need a service call, it's on you...so I was bound & determined to get that thing fired up. I had my pickup sitting there idled up with jumper cables for over an hour trying to charge the batteries. I added a 1500 amp marine battery with another set of cables, but still no luck. I drove up the road to a scrap yard and borrowed 3 huge industrial batteries, brought them home and hooked them up with the pickup and the marine battery. FINALLY there was enough extra juice to get the truck fired up.

When I got it to the yard, they checked each battery...only 1 was dead.

If the truck's batteries aren't strong enough to fire it up, I highly doubt one of those jump packs will do anything to help. Not only that, but you'll have to remember to keep the jump pack charged up so that it is ready to go if/when you need it. You'd be better off just carrying a good quality set of jumper cables & trying to find another truck to give you a jump if you need it.
