Compared on paper

Specs such as CFM, PSI and torque are the manufacturer’s ratings as listed, collected 22 October 2026. Where a listing contradicts itself, both figures are shown.

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. All five state a warranty term, and three state reverse polarity protection.

Shop Scores range from a low of 9.2 to a high of 9.8, with each tool positioned by its weighted points proportionally, and more points always yields a higher score.

What the listings tell you

This guide covers 5 jump starter listings. All 5 state a peak amp figure, a battery capacity and a warranty term. Three state reverse polarity protection, 2 state 12V/24V operation, 1 has a built-in tire inflator and 1 has a built-in AC outlet.

Buying guide: best jump starter heavy duty

Peak amps and engine size

Peak amps are the headline figure on every listing here, from 6000A to 30,000A, and each listing states the engines it covers: the ODUKAKO states up to 50L diesel, the COSSIFTW up to 15L diesel and the JFEGWO up to 12L diesel. The MyAnts states large diesel engines and the YESPER states all gas and diesel engines, with no liter size on either, so the comparison leaves their diesel size unclear.

Capacity and recharging

Capacity runs from 32,000mAh to 64,000mAh across the five listings. The JFEGWO recharges from 0 to 100% in 2 hours, the YESPER in 1h with its 145W adapter, the ODUKAKO in 4 hours with a 57W adapter and the COSSIFTW in 4 to 5 hours. The MyAnts listing states no recharge time.

12V or 12V/24V

Three of the five are 12V only, and 2 are 12V/24V: the MyAnts and the YESPER. The YESPER states it automatically identifies 12V and 24V cars and switches the starting voltage, while the MyAnts states a forced start mode with a 12V or 24V button. Check the truck’s system voltage before ordering.

Cables, clamps and safety features

Clamp cables run from 4AWG on the ODUKAKO to 7AWG on the JFEGWO, with the COSSIFTW stating 6AWG. The JFEGWO, COSSIFTW and ODUKAKO state reverse polarity protection, and the ODUKAKO adds over-current, over-voltage and short-circuit protection in a 12-layer BMS. The YESPER states a 27.5 inch jumper cable.

Extras that earn their space

Only the JFEGWO has a built-in tire inflator, at 150 PSI and 45L/min, and only the COSSIFTW has a 110V/200W AC outlet. Every listing here states an LED light: the ODUKAKO states 2,000 lumens, the JFEGWO 600 lumens, and the YESPER states 160 hours of continuous lighting. Pick the extra that matches the job, not the longest list.

Garage Fit Check

• The ODUKAKO weighs 14.3 pounds and measures 8.35 by 11.34 by 12.72 inches, so check shelf space before ordering.
• Two of the five are 12V/24V units, so check whether the truck needs 12V or 24V before the first job.
• The JFEGWO and ODUKAKO include EVA cases, so both store as a kit on the shelf.
• The COSSIFTW recharges in 4 to 5 hours and the ODUKAKO in 4 hours, so plan charging time before the first job.
• The ODUKAKO listing states to recharge within 4 hours after a jump start, so do not leave it flat in the truck.

FAQ: garage tools

What size jump starter fits a diesel engine?

Match the listing’s stated diesel size: the ODUKAKO states up to 50L diesel, the COSSIFTW up to 15L and the JFEGWO up to 12L. The MyAnts and YESPER state diesel coverage with no liter size, so check the listing before ordering.

How does a jump starter work?

A jump starter is a portable battery pack with jumper cables and clamps that connects to a dead battery and delivers starting current. The listings here state peak currents from 6000A to 30,000A, and the MyAnts and YESPER add a forced start mode for completely dead batteries.

How is a jump starter used on a dead battery?

Connect the clamps to the battery terminals, then start the vehicle. The MyAnts states a forced start mode with a 12V or 24V button for completely dead batteries, and the YESPER states to manually switch to 12V or 24V for a completely dead car. The ODUKAKO listing states to recharge the unit within 4 hours after a jump start.

Should the jump starter be 12V or 12V/24V?

Three of the five here are 12V only, and the MyAnts and YESPER are 12V/24V. The YESPER states it automatically identifies 12V and 24V cars and switches the starting voltage. Check the vehicle’s system voltage before ordering.

Can a jump starter charge a phone or laptop?

All five state USB charging: the JFEGWO states 65W USB-C PD, the COSSIFTW 60W USB-C, the MyAnts USB up to 18W, the YESPER dual USB ports and the ODUKAKO 45W USB-C PD with 18W USB-A. The COSSIFTW also states a 110V/200W AC outlet for laptops.
