Just wondering what Jump Starters that support AGM batteries would you recommend?

I jumped on this one at Black Friday for a fairly good discount.

Haven't had to use it much, but it does do all of these things that I've actually used in the past few months:

- Has an AGM setting
- Provides enough juice to wake the lightning and get the lightning DC-DC converter online even with a completely fubar 12V
- Has an AC input to charge itself and/or trickle charge a 12V
- Charges from and puts power back out a USB-C port
- Has a built in light

I could be corrected here, but I think any 12v jump starter is fine to use to jump start a 12v AGM. Where you have to be careful is when you’re “charging” your 12v AGM battery. In that case, you’ll want a trickle charger that has a AGM setting or auto-detects if it’s an AGM battery (the Noco ones do this).

Definitely correct

It's a lead acid 12v battery, it won't make a difference.

Expensive, cheap, as long as it provides enough to get the system to power on..

Just make sure your jump pack is charged.

I use a DieHard purchased at AdvanceAuto. It works very well and holds a charge for months (maybe longer). Small, simple to use. I’ve jumped several vehicles in cold and hot weather. Never needed it for my Lightning. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...safe-smart-cable-and-clamps-dh0170/50046858-P

Haven't had to use it on the lightning, but I have jump 3 other ICE with it and it's done a wonderful job on those.

I would imagine most will work with a Lightning but if you gonna pay $100 plus might as well get one that can jump ICE cars and trucks. I watch the Project Farm videos on YT. Bought the Gooloo 4000 which has been a top performer for several years. The cheap Nocos like the GB20 & GB40 perform very poorly in his tests but the GB150 is usually a top performer.
