How to Choose the Right Mobile Jump Starter?

Choosing a mobile jump starter isn’t just about picking the biggest number on the box. You need to match the unit’s capability with your vehicles, site setup, and how often you’ll actually use it. Below are key considerations to help you choose the right Durst jump starter that won’t let you down in the field.

Voltage and Compatibility

Start with your fleet. If you’re working with standard commercial vehicles or utilities, a 12V model might do the trick. But if you’re in mining, defence, or heavy transport, chances are you’ll need a 24V—or better yet, a dual-voltage option like the RHINO or SCORPION that handles both.

Peak Amps and Cranking Output

This is where real-world performance shows up. The higher the peak amps and cranking amps, the more capable your starter will be—especially for large engines or batteries that are completely flat. If you’re starting trucks or plant equipment in cold or remote areas, don’t skimp on output.

Portability vs. Power

Smaller units like the BJT-75 are ideal for shop floors, but if you’re heading out bush or moving between aircraft hangars, trailer-mounted options like the BJT-510B and BJT-520B will give you more reach, more reserve, and better mobility.

Safety and Compliance

All Durst units come with built-in protection like reverse polarity alerts, spike suppression, and WHS-ready enclosures. Look for models that include isolation switches and smart charge compatibility—it’s about protecting both the operator and the gear being started.

Built for Local Conditions

Don’t settle for imported units not tested in our environment. Durst mobile jump starters are built in Australia, for Australia. That means they’re designed to handle the heat, dust, and daily abuse that comes with real job sites—not showroom conditions.

Mobile Jump Starters FAQS

What’s the best mobile jump starter for heavy vehicles in Australia?

For serious commercial use, the Durst BJT-520B T-REX and Durst BJT-510B T-REX are both excellent choices. They’re built for daily operation, carry massive peak amps, and are mounted on trailers for ease of use across large sites. Whether you're managing freight fleets or construction equipment, these units are designed to deliver reliable performance in any environment.

Can one unit start both 12V and 24V systems?

Yes. Durst makes several dual-voltage mobile jump starters, including the BJT-4000 V2 RHINO and SCORPION BJT-200 V2. These models let you toggle safely between 12V and 24V with a selector switch, making them ideal for mixed fleets. Just confirm the switch is in the correct position before starting and always follow standard safety checks.

Are these suitable for starting completely flat batteries?

Absolutely. High-cranking Durst units are designed for exactly that. With peak amps up to 24,000, units like the BJT-520B will get even large diesel engines turning over without needing a second vehicle or external power source. They're purpose-built for emergency starts where there's no battery charge left.

Do these jump starters come with charging systems?

Yes. Most mobile models include or are compatible with Durst SmartChargers, like the BCS-A1206 or BCS-A2425C. These smart charging systems ensure your unit is safely maintained between uses, reducing the risk of failure when you need power the most.

Are trailer-mounted jump starters worth it?

If you're operating in large or remote environments—like mines, airfields, or logistics yards—yes. Trailer-mounted units give you the mobility to move your power source where it's needed, and they usually come with higher capacity and onboard energy reserves.
