Key features & specs

How it compares

While modern lithium-ion boosters are popular for their lightweight design, the Clore Automotive Jump-N-Carry JNC660 offers superior performance in extreme sub-zero temperatures. Unlike compact jumpers that may struggle to deliver sustained cranking current, this unit uses a high-performance Clore PROFORMER battery specifically engineered for jump starting applications. It is significantly more robust than consumer-grade plastic boosters often found in big-box stores.

How to use it

1. Ensure the unit is fully charged using the built-in AC charger until the green LED illuminates.
2. Connect the positive (red) clamp to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
3. Connect the negative (black) clamp to a heavy-gauge metal part of the engine block or vehicle frame.
4. Start the vehicle and then disconnect the negative clamp followed by the positive clamp.
5. Immediately recharge the JNC660 after use to maintain battery health.
