Ah, the age-old conundrum: you turn the key, and instead of your car's engine purring to life, you get the dreaded chugging of an engine trying desperately to start or worse- complete silence. Chances are, the battery’s dead. So, what's next? Call for a tow? Hope a good Samaritan with jumper cables drives by? Or, do you just sit and sob for a minute? We don’t judge, we’ve all been there. Truthfully, batteries never die when it’s convenient so the only way to get ahead of the game is to be prepared. Enter, the portable jump starter- a compact device designed to bring your car back from its untimely (and inconvenient) nap. We know what you might be thinking: Do jump-starter kits really work? The answer is a resounding YES! But, let's dig in a little deeper.
The Basics of a Jump Starter:
A portable jump starter is essentially a battery pack that can deliver a jolt of electricity to your car's dead battery, breathing life back into it and getting you to wherever you need to be. Sometimes we need a double espresso to get us going, this is that but for your vehicle. Once you get that battery going, you could still have time to swing by your favorite caffeine dispensary for a little pick-me-up yourself because using a portable jump starter is as simple as connecting the clamps to your car battery, turning it on, and in a matter of seconds, you should be able to start your car. When you choose a model like the TYPE S 12V 6.0L Battery Jump Starter with Built-in MFi Certified Lightning Cable (AC532777) with LCD display, you won’t even have to think too hard about it thanks to the step-by-step guide built right in.
Common Car Troubles & The Need for a Jump:
Drivers, especially those of us with a few years under our belts (and perhaps a few stories of vehicular misadventures), know the sinking feeling of a dead car battery all too well. It can happen after accidentally leaving your lights on overnight or when the battery reaches the end of its lifespan. Whatever the reason, it’s always inconvenient and often happens at the worst times—like that early morning when you're running late for a meeting, during a road trip, or when you have a car full of small humans who really need a snack. No one has time for any of that. Would you rather be in any of those situations and have to wait for someone to come assist you, or would you rather be your own roadside hero needing nothing and no one other than your trusty TYPE S portable jump starter? Exactly.
Benefits of Having a Portable Jump Starter:
Being stuck is motivation enough if you ask us, but just in case you needed a little more convincing that owning a TYPE S portable jump starter is a need not a want, let’s quickly cover some of the benefits. 1. Convenience & Independence: Strangers? No, thank you. You’ll no longer need to wait for a good Samaritan or roadside assistance.
