Best jump start tool for the winter ?

I have a 4,000 amp NOCO Genius. Works good for Texas winters anyway.

 

Portable gas generator with outlet and cord for 12 volt charging(I use a champion gas generator). Have charged my cat deep cycle batteries in -34 celsius temps and started my truck and a couple of others as well. Cost me about $500. Has many other uses as well. Used it for power tools on truck repairs and also to run the sleeper power and air conditioner.

 

No winter talk until thanksgiving please........

 

With a good set of jumper cables you can use your personal vehicle. Most new cars have as big or bigger alternators than trucks. I have a 19 challenger with a 165 amp and a 19 1500 with a 220 amp. With 00 welding cables I can jump any truck in about 10min.

 

The generator does(sine wave generator). Lots of RV people use them to charge the batteries at campsites that they use for tv and radios etc with an inverter.

doesnt work well when i am 1200 miles from home. Too far to walk or get the wife to drive over.

 

Cheap jumper cables work too, atleast once lol
But yeah I’ve used my pickup to jump start the truck and vice versa.
Once used the rig to start my pickup and pickup to start a farm tractor.

 

4 good batteries you shouldn't have a problem. We'd fire up trucks at 30 below with no issues.

 

I used deep cycle batteries for a test run started a d13 volvo in -6 Fahrenheit...interstate batteries offers agm 950cc for 160 a piece bought just a few days ago a set
