It's easy to take for granted your car's ability to start up when you turn the key — until one day, it doesn't. Then, you're left with two options: Try to get a friend to come over and give you a jump, or call a mechanic for help. Both can cost you time and money, two things no one has available these days.
Turns out, there's another solution. You can invest in a portable car jump starter to keep around for the just-in-case. And, just for today, Amazon has slashed prices on top-rated Avapow portable jump starters. Right now, you can save up to half off on these lifesavers, but only for today.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And even those without Prime get free shipping on orders of $25 or more).
Check these options out.
The Avapow Car Battery Starter, 1500A Peak can easily start a 12V vehicle (including boats, trucks, SUVs and more). With 21800mAh capacity and two USB output ports, this gizmo can fully charge your devices up to 75 percent faster than an average charger. It even has a strobe, SOS, and flashlight mode.
"Convenience and peace of mind knowing that I can easily start my car if needed," a shopper shared. "Much handier than jumper cables. Also great for charging devices."
There's a lot to love about the Avapow 3000A Car Battery Starter, like the fact that it works in extreme temperatures and can charge your vehicle, SUV, truck or van up to 30 times on a full charge. It comes with plenty of safety features too, including short circuit, over-current and overload protection. Plus, just like other models, it comes with two USB ports and three different life modes. A true lifesaver.
"This is AWESOME!!" shared one happy shopper. "Not only is it a car jumper and it's super easy to use, but it's great in emergency situations like a power outage. You can charge your phones and 30-hour battery life. As a not handy female, this has been a blessing instead of having to pay AAA for a jump...I've used it for three jumps already from a super dead battery!"
