Vehicle Approximate real cranking current Petrol up to 2.0 400-600 A real Diesel 2.0 or larger, SUV 800-1,000 A real Trade use: vans, fleets, garages High-end 1,500-2,000 A (peak), with display and protections Watch out for the marketing: almost every booster is sold on its peak amps , a figure that lasts an instant and isn't the same as the current it can deliver continuously. That's why it pays to go for more than your engine strictly needs. The four things that matter when choosing a jump starter - Real cranking current , not just the peak: this is what decides whether a diesel starts on a cold morning. - Usable capacity in Wh : this tells you how many starts you get from one charge. In the Málaga heat, a booster left in the glovebox loses charge, so it's worth checking it every couple of months. - Protections : reverse polarity, short circuit, overvoltage and anti-spark. If the clamps don't have a box with safety electronics, it isn't a modern booster. - Clamps and cable : wide metal jaws and thick cable. Thin plastic clamps let you down on exactly the day you need them. For the full explanation, including pros and cons compared with traditional jump leads, read our guide jump starter: which to buy and when jump leads still make sense . Jump starter or new battery: our honest advice A booster gets you out of a fix, but it won't cure a worn-out battery . If you've had to use it twice in a month, your battery is telling you it's time for a new one. The sensible thing is to start the car with the booster and come straight to us, without switching off the engine, for a free battery check . If it needs replacing, we'll fit a new one in about 15 minutes, no appointment needed. And if the car won't start even with the booster, the problem probably isn't just the battery; we'll check that too. More information on my car won't start in Málaga . For trade customers and fleets For delivery vans, company vehicles and garages, a high-end booster pays for itself after just a few call-outs. If you run several vehicles, we'll advise you on boosters and batteries for the whole fleet; see our page on batteries for fleets and businesses . Do you sell jump starters in Málaga? Yes.

For a 2.0 diesel or larger, look for a booster with around 800-1,000 A of real current. For a petrol car up to 2.0, 400-600 A real is enough. Check the real current, not just the peak amps advertised on the box. How often should I charge a jump starter? It's best to check it every couple of months and recharge it after every use. In the Málaga heat, a booster kept in the car loses its charge faster. Can a booster damage the battery or the car's electronics? A modern booster with reverse polarity, short-circuit and overvoltage protection is safe as long as you follow the manufacturer's instructions. What it won't do is fix a worn-out battery: if you need it often, come in and we'll test your battery for free.
