Car Battery Jump Starters

For those of us who want to avoid being stuck on the side of the road alone on a rainy night outside of cell service with no civilization in sight, a dead car battery, a creepy wind, and a little voice in your head whispering that you're about to be the star in your own personal slasher film, a battery jump starter might be just the thing for you.

Jump-N-Carry JNC660

Given to you from Clore Automotive is the JNC600. The name says it all! This little jump starter gives you 1700 peak amps and 425 cranking amps from its JNC105 Clore PROFORMER battery. Hook up to pretty much any vehicle with the 46” long copper insulated cable with industrial grade clamps. Think this baby only boosts cars? Think again! A 12V DC outlet will let you charge your devices when they're dead too. All this at only 18lbs.

Stanley J5C09 JUMPiT

The JUMPiT will get your vehicle up and running with 1000 peak amps and 500 crank amps, as well as charge up your devices with a 12V DC outlet and a USB port to boot. If you're a bit unsure on how to boost your car, this buddy will let you know when things aren't connected right with a reverse polarity alarm. Is that all? Indeed not! The J5C09 has a 120 PSI air compressor to deal with that flat tire and an LED rotating light to help you out in the dark.
