This portable jump starter works with any 12-volt electrical system, and it can pump out up to 4,000 amps of peak current—that’s enough juice to start all kinds of motors, even hefty diesel engines up to 10 liters. The jumper cables are included, and built-in safety systems make jumping a battery super simple: The device has an indicator and a buzzer to let you know when you’ve wired it up correctly. You can also use the Avapow as a portable power station, and it comes with dual USB 3.0 output ports to charge up a phone or tablet on the go. It’s also easy to keep the Avapow juiced up—it can charge via your car’s cigarette lighter or via an included USB-C charging cable. Best of all, it weighs just 3.3 pounds and measures just 5-by-6-by-10 inches, so it’s a snap to store and easy to tote around when needed.
Walmart shoppers have been thrilled with the Avapow Jump Starter’s build quality and performance. “It is a great alternative to old-school jumper cables and safer too,” a shopper said. “Everyone should have one in their vehicle." Another shopper loved its “excellent quality” and said it’s “very easy to use.”
“It works great,” said a third shopper. “It will pay for itself in no time.”
A portable jump starter like this one is one of those items you hopefully won’t have to use often, but when you need it, you’ll be so glad you bought one, and at just $68, it costs way less than calling a tow service. Don’t go another day without one in your vehicle—grab this quality device today while the discount lasts.
