Why is it a good deal? 💰

Peace of mind when it comes to your car's battery is priceless, but what's really shocking about this jump starter is its price of just $61. That's over 50% off, and among the lowest prices we've ever seen.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Having a good lightweight jump starter in your trunk can be the difference between a minor annoyance and a full-blown bad day. With this jump starter, there's no waiting around for someone to rescue you. It can power up just about any vehicle — including ATVs, motorcycles, lawnmowers and boats — and it can charge all your devices with its USB ports. Why leave home without a power source like this one?

And it's an all-in-one emergency kit. In addition to juicing up your car and devices, it also comes with a light that has three modes: SOS and strobe for emergency signals, and a flashlight to guide you when you need it.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 2,200 shoppers say this jump starter is the way to go if you want something that's compact but effective.

Pros 👍

"If you are still using one of these super heavy, bulky ones … do yourself the favor and buy one of these lightweight, more powerful sidekicks," suggested a five-star fan. "They are such lifesavers with so much more power than those 20-pound tug-around boxes that don't have much power."

"It saves you the hassle of having to flag down a stranger or walk around being ignored by people to ask for help," shared a satisfied customer. "I got this for my mother and it works perfectly."

It can even bring back the dead, or so says a devoted Trans Am owner: "I was wary when I got the package," shared muscle car enthusiast. "This thing is tiny and lightweight. I have a '79 Trans Am with a 403 and dead-battery blues. This little thing turned her right over! Definitely getting one for all my cars."

"Fantastic charger!" shared a final fan. "Used on boat to listen to music and get boat batteries back to full charge. No more worries when out on the boat!"

Cons 👎

Some buyers were not happy that the jump starter does not come with a charger. Said one: "The obvious problems: 1. No charger provided with purchase. 2. Cable battery attachment is far too short! In most cases, it comes fully or nearly full charge, but to recharge it you must get a universal charger. Who made that decision? Get by those two flaws and you are home free."

This commenter agreed: "I was not impressed because of no charger included. I went back and checked and while nowhere did it say one way or another anything about a charger, I have never bought any battery-powered item that didn't come with a charger."

This powerful little number is both a jump starter AND a portable car power supply with high capacity. It uses dual USB 3.0 output ports, and the charging speed is 75% faster than ordinary mobile power.
