If you get stranded in a rural or remote area, finding assistance may be difficult or dangerous. However, if you have a portable jump starter, you can rescue yourself from issues like dead car batteries and dead portable devices.

One key advantage of equipping your machine with a portable jump starter is that you will no longer have to depend on others to jump-start your motorcycle, truck, or car. If you have jumper cables, you will likely need to rely on others for roadside help. But with a portable jump starter, you can be independent since the gadget will charge your battery without others' help.Although roadside assistance services are great, they are relatively slow and can cost you a lot of money. Furthermore, they will not be of help if you are not in their coverage zone. With a jump starter, you won't have to pay an annual membership. Portable jump starters come merged with an air compressor, so if you have a flat tire, you can easily inflate it within five minutes and get back to enjoying your ride. You can also use the air compressor to inflate mattresses, sports balls, and more.

Some jump starters are more than just for your car—they can charge devices as well. They're like portable charged batteries, and most of them have two or more USB ports that you can use to charge your devices. The higher-tech models will have integrated LCD screens with instructions on how to use them, plus USB-C and USB-A ports. Some even are Qi-compatible, allowing you to wirelessly charge your device even if you don't need to jump your vehicle.

When purchasing a motorcycle or car jump starter, check its voltage rating. The rating for a motorcycle jump starter should be 12 volts since that's the power capacity most bikes have. However, keep in mind that if 12 volts is the maximum rating, any motorcycles outside the normal voltage range may not be compatible.
