Look up the engine size of the vehicle to match the jump starter model that best fits your needs. Green Keeper models are based on the vehicle engine size.

The starting current, often referred to as cranking amps or starting amps, is the maximum current that a starter motor draws from the vehicle's battery during the initial stages of starting the engine. It represents the electrical power required to turn the engine over and initiate combustion. 


The starting current of Green Keeper jump starters:

Booster GK-J1201  500A

Booster GK-J1202  1000A

Master GK-J1203 1500A

Master GK-J1204 1500A

Master GK-J1205 2000A

Pump GK-J1206P 1500A

Peak current, also known as peak amps or surge current, refers to the maximum current that a device, electrical component, or system experiences for a brief and instantaneous period. It is the highest level of current in a transient surge. It represents the maximum amount of electrical power that a jump starter can provide during the initial moments of starting a vehicle.

If your battery is below 2-volts, the Boost LED will be "Off". This is an indication that GK-J1201 can not detect a battery. If you need to jump start a battery below 2-volts there is a Manual Override feature, which allows you to force "On" the jump start function.
