Compared on paper

These numbers are the tool makers’ rated figures, as their listings print them on 28 October 2026. “Not stated” means the listing does not give the figure.

How the points were given

Each jump starter is scored out of 10 on performance, build, value, safety and warranty, with the weights published on the How We Pick page. Safety scores follow stated protections such as reverse polarity and spark-proof design, and warranty scores follow stated terms only.

We map each tool’s weighted total onto a 9.2 minimum and 9.8 maximum in a straight line, so the point order and score order match.

What the listings tell you

Five listings were compared here. Four state a warranty term and three state a cold-weather range from -4°F to 140°F, while the fifth listing gives a title only. Peak current runs from 1000A to 6000A across the five, and one listing adds a built-in air compressor while another adds a bigger LCD display.

Buying guide: the best jump starter for cold weather under 100

Peak current and engine size

Peak current is the headline figure, and engine size is the check against it. The listings here run from 1000A for up to 6.0L gas and 3.0L diesel, through 2000A for 8L gas and 6L diesel or 8.5L gas and 6.5L diesel, to 5000A for 10.0L gas and 7.0L diesel, and 6000A for all gas and 12L diesel in the title. Match the stated engine figures to the vehicle in the garage, and do not guess past them.

Cold-weather range and standby

Three listings state a range from -4°F to 140°F, while the other two state no temperature range. Standby time is stated from up to 1 year to 24 months: the GOOLOO listing states 24 months, the SATA listing states up to 12 months, and the ZEVZO listing states standby up to 1 year after a full charge. One listing note suggests recharging every 2-3 months to keep the pack active, so a pack left in the trunk still needs a routine.

Safety protections

Protection counts are stated as 10 protections on three listings and 13 protections on the TONTONJIA listing, with reverse polarity, spark-proof design, short circuit, overcurrent, overheat and low-temperature protection named across them. The NOCO title names spark-proof and reverse polarity protection, and nothing more. Protection counts are maker claims, so read them as listed features, not as measured results.

Extras: lights, USB and inflator

Lights are stated as a 400-lumen LED on the GOOLOO pack, 800 lumens on the TONTONJIA pack and a 500-lumen LED on the ZEVZO pack, while the SATA listing states an LED light without a lumen figure. USB charging appears on every full-data listing, with two USB outputs on the GOOLOO and ZEVZO packs and 18W fast charging on the SATA pack. Only the TONTONJIA pack states a built-in inflator, rated to 160 PSI.

Garage Fit Check

• Space: the GOOLOO pack measures 7.4 × 3.9 × 1.5 inches in its bullets, while the SATA pack measures 1.73 × 3.54 × 10.13 inches, so check trunk or glove box space first.
• Weight: the GOOLOO pack weighs 1.2 pounds and the ZEVZO pack weighs 1.6 pounds; the TONTONJIA and NOCO listings state no weight.
• Power: each full-data listing includes a USB charging cable, so a USB cable in the garage covers recharging.
• Storage: GOOLOO includes a storage case, ZEVZO includes a portable carrying case, SATA includes a protective storage bag, and TONTONJIA includes a practical storage bag.

FAQ: garage tools

What peak current suits a cold morning?

It depends on the engine. The listings here run from 1000A for up to 6.0L gas and 3.0L diesel to 6000A for all gas and 12L diesel in the title. Match the stated engine figures to the vehicle, and favor a larger stated current where winters are harsh and the engine is large.

Do these packs work below freezing?

Three listings state a range from -4°F to 140°F, so those three name cold use directly. The ZEVZO and NOCO listings state no temperature range, even though low-temperature protection appears in protection lists. Where no range is stated, treat cold use as unconfirmed by the listing.

How long does a jump starter hold its charge?

Stated standby runs from up to 1 year to 24 months. The GOOLOO listing states 24 months, the SATA listing states up to 12 months, and the ZEVZO listing states up to 1 year after a full charge. The TONTONJIA listing states about 24 months in one place and about 12 months in another, and its note suggests recharging every 2-3 months.

Can a jump starter also inflate tires?

Only the TONTONJIA pack here states a built-in inflator, rated to 160 PSI with 45L/Min flow, filling a tire to 25 PSI in 2 minutes per its bullets. The other listings state no inflator. The same listing note warns against continuous pump use and asks for cool-down breaks when the pump gets hot.

What warranty terms are stated?

Four listings state a term: GOOLOO states 18 Months, ZEVZO states 24 Months Manufacturer Warranty, TONTONJIA states a 2-YEAR Warranty, and SATA states 1 Year. The NOCO listing, which gives a title only, states no warranty term.
