How the sizes are worked out
For each model year we take the engines in the EPA fuel economy data and confirm the make, model and year against NHTSA's vPIC catalog. Each engine's displacement and fuel go through the same rule as our jump starter size calculator: find the smallest common pack rating that covers the engine on its fuel line (3, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 liters gas; 3, 4.5, 6, 7 or 10 liters diesel), then add one step for regular sub-freezing winters. The packs shown are ones already reviewed in our guides, with ratings as their listings state them.
Model years are grouped where the engines, and so the answer, stay the same. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids are sized for their gas engine as an upper bound; battery electric vehicles have no engine to crank, so we point to the owner's manual instead of sizing a pack.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know what size jump starter my car needs?
Look up your year, make and model. We take every engine EPA lists for it and apply our calculator rule: the smallest common engine rating on the pack that covers your displacement on your fuel line (gas or diesel), plus one step for regular sub-freezing winters. Compare that engine rating on the box, not the peak-amp headline.
Where does the vehicle data come from?
Engines come from the EPA and Department of Energy fuel economy dataset (fueleconomy.gov), and makes, models and model years from NHTSA's vPIC catalog. Nothing is estimated: if a vehicle or engine is not in that data, it is not listed here.
Why is my truck not listed?
The EPA dataset covers light-duty vehicles, so heavy-duty pickups such as 2500 and 3500 models are not in it. For those, enter the engine in the jump starter size calculator and read the diesel line if it is a diesel.
Do you list battery group size or cold cranking amps?
No. Neither NHTSA nor EPA publishes them per model, and they vary by trim and option, so we do not guess. Check the owner's manual or the label on the battery.
