This $35 portable car jump starter Prime Day deal could save you during an emergency

I have used my portable car jump starter exactly twice and I would have paid triple its original price in each situation. Car batteries don’t die at convenient times, which is why we consider a good portable jump starter essential equipment for every car. But, paying for emergency gear is never that fun. After all, you could be spending your cash on an at-home ice cream maker or a huge TV. But this Amazon Prime Day (aka Amazon Prime Deal Days) deal makes doing the responsible thing feel even better.

Despite its cheap price and weighing less than two pounds, this portable power pack has enough oomph to jump start a 7.0-liter gas engine.

For $35, buy one and chuck it in your trunk. Then buy more and chuck them in the trunks of people you care about.

A version of this jump starter landed on our list of the best portable jump starters for its excellent design. It’s built like a rugged power bank, because that’s essentially what it is.
