In short
- For a Toyota Aygo you need a jump starter suitable up to about 400 to 630 CCA, depending on the engine and trim level.
- Your battery has a CCA value (the cold-start current, shown as EN on the battery label). A jump starter itself doesn't have a CCA: the number indicates up to which battery CCA it's suitable for. Choose a model suitable for at least the value of your battery.
- For the lighter petrol engines, the Boost Mini 3750 is often enough. For the diesels and the versions with start-stop, choose the Boost Pro 8250 (suitable up to 960 CCA).
- Below you'll find the right jump starter per generation and engine variant, from the 1 (2005) to the X, with the exact battery CCA.
What is CCA and why does it determine 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 doesn't have a CCA: the number indicates up to which battery CCA it's suitable for, so choose a model that matches the EN value of your Aygo. Want the full explanation, the standards (EN, SAE, DIN) and rules of thumb per engine type? Then read what CCA actually is and why it determines your choice. Below you'll see which jump starter suits each Toyota Aygo engine variant.
