      Definitely, I got one for my mum a few years back and had no idea of amperage at the time.. It worked well for the petrol Mazda 3 but it didn't work on her diesel cruze which was a pain!

      I've now got the diesel Cruze in question and will probably pick up the 800A Blitzwolf jump starter.

  *Normal, consumer vehicles with petrol engines.

  I have an i30 diesel (1.6) and a 900 amp jump starter will not jump it in the cold when the ignition is clicking when fully charged.

  You'll notice at SCA the jump starters have a petrol and diesel rating on them

    I read this before posting it, the jump start power is up to 6L gas engines and 3L diesel engines. The 5 star reviews are 151 out of 169.

  Have the previous Costco Winplus jumpstarter, has just enough juice for a couple cranks. Started my Forester and got me out of trouble a couple times though.

  Personally I'd grab the Gooloo 2000a when it goes for around the $100 price.

    Yep gooloo are good. I've had the 1500A version for 2.5yrs

    Save me many times when my battery was in the way out & the kids left the light on/door open

    Will keep my eye out for the 2000a version,crossed my mind the other day, battery is getting low due to lockdown and not going anywhere lucky I wasn't in a rush and a trickle charger was fine but keen to have a better backup.
