As we cruise into August, summer road trip season is peaking, but having a dead battery can put a big cramp in your travel plans. While you may have stocked up on bug spray and sunscreen, don’t forget to pack an important piece of any vehicle’s emergency kit: a portable jump starter.
Portable jump starters are essentially big power banks that have jumper cables and can give your car enough power to get back on the road in just a few minutes. They are compact and can easily fit in most trunks. They’re also pretty simple to use. With a portable jump-starter of your own, you don’t have to rely on another car to give you a jump. It doesn’t cost a fortune to get your hands on one, either. We’ve gathered current discounts on portable jump-starters for vehicles both big and small to help you grab one for less.

Regular car batteries can be jumped, but for those who drive an electric vehicle are wise to keep a portable charger on hand too. Sometimes navigation to a charging station doesn’t work, or you just can’t find one in time. A portable EV charger can give you peace of mind, especially when traveling longer distances. This one from Avapow is currently dramatically discounted to nearly half off. It delivers 40 amps of power and works at 240-volts/40-amp with a NEMA 14-50 plug with a 25-foot charging cable.
