Jump starters and chargers in Australia

Updated 4 November 2026

A car jump starter in Australia costs about A$46 to A$350, depending on capacity and extras. Basic packs start around A$46 to A$100, mid-range lithium units with a power bank sit between A$120 and A$180, and premium models with a built-in compressor reach about A$350. For a price that fits your car, describe it in a BlaBlaPrice request, and registered sellers can reply with their own offer.

Prices are for one device. Ratings are given in amps (A), and most car jump starters are 12V, so check the rating against your engine size before you buy.

Warranty and consumer guarantees

Warranties vary by brand. Some Australian sellers offer one year against manufacturing defects, and some lithium packs carry longer cover, so read the terms before you buy. The Australian Consumer Law gives automatic consumer guarantees for goods, which apply on top of any manufacturer's warranty. Keep the receipt, because a warranty claim is easier when you can show the purchase date.

Summer and winter driving

Summer in Australia runs from December to February, and the heat in Brisbane and Perth puts extra strain on a flat battery. Winter from June to August brings cold mornings to Melbourne and Adelaide, when batteries struggle to start an engine. Buying in November means the device is charged and ready before the hottest and coldest weeks.

How it is sold and delivered

Jump starters are sold as single units through online shops and local car accessory stores in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Ask whether the quoted price includes GST and delivery to your city, and check the warranty period in the seller's own terms. Some offers include a carry case or extra leads, so ask what comes in the box.

What to write in the request

Give the device type, your car's battery and engine size, the current and voltage you need, and any features you want, such as a compressor or a USB port. Add whether you accept new or used, the delivery city and your budget. These details let sellers quote one clear price.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe what you need in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if you like. The AI asks for missing details and searches sellers' websites and price lists in Australia, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers answer in the chat with their offer, price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them. You can also send your request link to local sellers yourself. Begin on the BlaBlaPrice home page or see how BlaBlaPrice works.
