I am looking to purchase either a 600 or 900 amp battery charger (Peak) and I can't decide which is better. It is to start a dead or dying battery on the road without a jump from another person or vehicle.

Is there a battery jump starter?
The most important consideration when purchasing a jump starter is power. How much power is the jump starter getting to the battery? Many manufacturers only offer battery booster packs that have only 900 peak amps and maybe 200 cranking amps.
Brand new battery and the car still requires a jump?
Starter motor problems, charging system problems, wiring and connection problems between battery, alternator and starter. To many possiblities to list. If the battery is still charged and you need to jump the car to get it to start you have a bad starter. Now you say how can that be? it starts when its jumped? Correct the starter is drawing too much power"amps" and having a second battery "the jump" appx doubles the amount of amps to the starter allowing it to start. Replace the starter and problem will go away. Besides it wont take too long before a jump wont allow it to start.
How many amps do you need from a portable jump starter to boost an engine?
That depends on several factors: If the car battery is FULLY discharged, a starter can pull as much as 200 AMPS when you try to start the engine, depending on the size of the engine. If the car battery is only "low", but still carries a pretty good charge, you might be able to get by with considerably less than 200 AMPS.

When using a battery charger that is the charge rate in amps for starting a car?
It isn't adviseable to use a battery charger to jump start a car unless the charger has a jump selection on it. Most newer models do have this function. The best thing to do, whether your charger has the jump function or not, is to take out the battery and put it on a trickle charge - usually about 2 amps, until the battery itself is fully charged.
