Which is the Best Jump Starter for Your Vehicle?
The best jump starter for your vehicle depends on the the size of the engine, this will indicate the power of jump starter you need.
Your vehicle’s owner’s manual will have information about jump starting your vehicle, and guide you to matching the jump starter you require. Many automotive electrical systems are similar but getting a jump starter that is too low for your requirements is useless. Read your owner’s manual, online forums, or call Durst to get the correct information straight from the manufacturer.
Once you have found a jump starter suitable for your vehicle, you should consider the size, price and extra features. A large capacity battery charger will be able to jump start an engine more often before needing charging, but larger jump starters are heavier and, generally speaking, more expensive. Durst heavy duty jump starters are mounted on trolleys for ease of operation.

HYPASTART X500: the consumer, 4WD and camping champion
For everyday drivers, tourers, campers and four-wheel drivers, this is, in our opinion, the world's best consumer jump starter. The HYPASTART X500 brings the same supercapacitor technology Durst has proven on mining trucks and Liebherr crane fleets into a compact, hand-sized unit. There is no lithium battery, so no thermal runaway and no going flat in the glovebox. Connect it to a battery too flat to start the car and it draws the remaining power from that battery and starts the vehicle; leave it connected for a minute afterwards and it recharges from the vehicle, ready for the next start, without ever going back to a wall charger. Up to 1200A peak current starts most cars, 4WDs, motorbikes and boats, with integrated safety protection and a built-in LED light. On a long trip, with few chances to stop and charge, it is the piece of kit that stops you getting stranded.
