Quick answer

GOOLOO sizes its 12 V jump starters by engine. The A3 (3000A) lists gas engines up to 9.0 L and diesels up to 6.5 L, 50+ starts per charge and a built-in tire inflator. The GT4000S (4000A) adds 100W two-way USB-C charging, but its own page gives two engine limits (12.0 L or 10.0 L gas), so use the lower one. The GT Truck Pro (10000A) is built for pickups and heavy trucks, with 80 starts per charge, LiFePO4 cells rated to -40°F and 7.7 lb of weight.

Start with your engine size from the owner's manual, then pick a model whose listed limit covers it with room to spare.

A3: jump starter plus tire inflator

The A3 is GOOLOO's two-in-one for a typical car or SUV:

If you want one device in the trunk for both a dead battery and a soft tire, this is the GOOLOO built for that.

GT4000S: more current and a laptop-grade port

The GT4000S trades the air pump for power output:

Watch the engine rating. One paragraph on GOOLOO's page says it handles 12.0 L gas or 10.0 L diesel engines; another says up to 10.0 L gas and 8.0 L diesel. Until GOOLOO clarifies, plan around the lower figures.

GT Truck Pro: for pickups and heavy equipment

GOOLOO aims it at trucks and equipment; for an ordinary car its size and weight are more than you need.
