What to know about Clore Automotive JNC660

An 18 lb sealed lead-acid shop box with 1,700 peak and 425 cranking amps, a 22Ah PROFORMER battery and 46-inch #2 AWG cables. Outdoor Life's 'Best for Pros' says it starts everything up to a 350 diesel, and TechGearLab notes SLA boxes deliver sustained cranking current for hard starts. It is the pick for ranch and shop trucks and long glow-plug cranks; it is not a glovebox unit.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Outdoor Life named it Best for Pros and says it will jump everything from a tiny four cylinder to a 350 diesel engine. Its sustained cranking current and heavy cables suit long glow-plug cranks, and its PROFORMER battery is replaceable.

TechGearLab scored it only 58 overall, marking it down for weight, AC-only charging and no extras. Its power rating comes from specs and Outdoor Life's use, not a cold test. Like any battery it delivers less in deep cold, so store it in a heated shop.

What to know

Skip it if you want something for the glovebox or a USB power bank. It weighs 18 lb and has no USB port or light.
