Pre-Prime Day sale discounts must-have car jump starters by as much as 30%

If you don't have a portable jump starter in your car, you should. It's definitely one of those "better to have it and not need it..." sort of devices. At the very least, you can use it to charge your mobile devices in a pinch, but it might just save you from needing to call your roadside emergency hotline at some point.

Right now, you can save as much as 30% on Tacklife jump starters at Amazon. There are options to jump-start pretty much every type of vehicle, plus some need additional features like LED flashlights, USB ports for charging your phone, and more.

Take the popular Tacklife T8, for example, which is discounted to $48.99. It has 800 amps at peak current, and it's powerful enough to work on a variety of vehicles including 12V cars, SUVs, trucks, vans, and more. When it's fully charged it can provide up to 30 jump starts. Hopefully, you won't need that many!

The T8 will also hold its charge for up to a year when not in use. That's useful because it means you can charge it and then set it aside until you really need it. When your car breaks down a few months out, you won't be caught with a dead battery and a dead jump starter. Just manually use the Off mode to slow down the battery's self-discharge and turn it back to On when you want to use it.

In addition to the jump starter, it also doubles as an 18000mAh power bank. The device has two USB ports, one of which is equipped with Quick Charge technology. Other car accessories can also be recharged using the DC port.

On the front is a powerful LED that can work as an emergency flashlight. Use the Red light to function as a traffic warning signal. You can also switch between a Strobe or SOS signal. Other features include a built-in compass and an LCD screen that displays the remaining battery life.

These are the sort of emergency tools everyone should have. Keep it in your car and be ready. You never know when the battery might die and you find yourself stranded on the side of the road with a phone you've been using all day. Get your car going again and keep your phone topped off in case you need to call emergency services.

The deals are slated to end tonight, though some models may sell out much sooner than that so don't miss your chance to save on one.
