Compatabilty with PowerBoost and portable battery jump starters?

[Rich55Marshall]

Does anyone know if the PowerBoost is compatible with portable jump starters? I've got a '21 PowerBoost Platinum and I'm thinking of getting a NOCO Boost Plus GB40 (1000A). Thanks, folks.

Why wouldn't it be? It still has the same AGM battery under the hood. The low voltage DC system is still 12V like every other truck. I'm also fairly certain the manual details the jump starting procedure.

Yes, you can use a jump starter. I had an issue that completely drained the 12v system about a year ago -- as in the 12v batteries were ~1 volt. I connected the mach-e up to the starting battery with 4ga 20' long jumper cables and let it sit for about 2 minutes. The mach-e has the same 220a DC/DC converter in it that the PB has - I turned it to accessory, and then hit start and it fired right up.

Couple months ago, my '23 PB was totally dead in driveway, called Ford, sent out support and he used a portable jump starter, worked like a champ. No problems since and also since, went out and purchased a portable NOCO Boost, GBX-45...Cheers!
