In short
- For an Opel Insignia you need the Boost Pro 8250, regardless of the engine. Even the lighter trims have a battery with a high cold cranking current (about 540 to 840 CCA).
- Your battery has a CCA value (the cold cranking current, shown as EN on the battery label). A jump starter itself has no CCA: the number shows up to which battery CCA it is suitable. Choose a model that is suitable up to at least the value of your battery.
- For every Insignia the Boost Pro 8250 (suitable up to 960 CCA) is the right choice. The lighter models are too light for these batteries.
- Below you find the right jump starter per generation and engine variant, straight away, from the A (2008) to the B, with the exact battery CCA.
What is CCA and why does it decide your choice?
CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) is the starting power your battery delivers in the cold. The heavier the engine and the colder it is, the more you need. The value is shown as EN on your battery. A jump starter itself has no CCA: the number shows up to which battery CCA it is suitable, so choose a model that matches the EN value of your Insignia. Want the full explanation, the standards (EN, SAE, DIN) and rules of thumb per engine type? Then read what CCA exactly is and why it decides your choice. Below you see per Opel Insignia engine variant which jump starter is suitable.
