Never get stranded with a dead battery — this compact jump starter is 50% off
Ever been on the side of the road with a kaput car battery? If that's a "yes," we don't need to tell you how amazing it is to have a jump starter in your car that can get you on your way. If that's a "no," we have an ounce of prevention from Amazon that you don't want to miss out on. It's the Avapow Car Jump Starter, and right now thanks to this Lightning deal you can get it for $66 with the on-page coupon, down from $130 — that's almost 50% off!
Peace of mind when it comes to your car's battery is priceless, but what's really shocking about this jump starter is its price of just $66. That's almost 50% off, and among the lowest prices we've ever seen.
Having a good lightweight jump starter in your trunk can be the difference between a minor annoyance and a full-blown bad day. With this jump starter, there's no waiting around for someone to rescue you. It can power up just about any vehicle — including ATVs, motorcycles, lawnmowers and boats — and it can charge all your devices with its USB ports. Why leave home without a power source like this one?
And it's an all-in-one emergency kit. In addition to juicing up your car and devices, it also comes with a light that has three modes: SOS and strobe for emergency signals, and a flashlight to guide you when you need it.
Over 2,300 shoppers say this jump starter is the way to go if you want something that's compact but effective.
"If you are still using one of these super heavy, bulky ones … do yourself the favor and buy one of these lightweight, more powerful sidekicks," suggested a five-star fan. "They are such lifesavers with so much more power than those 20-pound tug-around boxes that don't have much power."
"It saves you the hassle of having to flag down a stranger or walk around being ignored by people to ask for help," shared a satisfied customer. "I got this for my mother and it works perfectly."
It can even bring back the dead, or so says a devoted Trans Am owner: "I was wary when I got the package," shared muscle car enthusiast. "This thing is tiny and lightweight. I have a '79 Trans Am with a 403 and dead-battery blues. This little thing turned her right over! Definitely getting one for all my cars."
"Fantastic charger!" shared a final fan. "Used on boat to listen to music and get boat batteries back to full charge. No more worries when out on the boat!"
Some buyers were not happy that the jump starter does not come with a charger. Said one: "The obvious problems: 1. No charger provided with purchase. 2. Cable battery attachment is far too short! In most cases, it comes fully or nearly full charge, but to recharge it you must get a universal charger. Who made that decision? Get by those two flaws and you are home free."
This commenter agreed: "I was not impressed because of no charger included. I went back and checked and while nowhere did it say one way or another anything about a charger, I have never bought any battery-powered item that didn't come with a charger."
Want to be extra prepared? Pair this jump starter with the Avapow tire inflator, and you'll be ready for anything — whether it's a dead battery or low tires.
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages
Future Amazon orders may be delivered to your door by a humanoid robot workforce. The Information reports that Amazon is developing AI software that will enable robots to operate as package delivery workers that are ferried around in Rivian electric vans, and will soon be ready to start real-world testing at a new facility. Citing an anonymous source 'involved in the effort,' The Information says that Amazon has almost finished constructing an indoor 'humanoid park' at one of the retail giant's San Francisco offices that's roughly the size of a coffee shop. The obstacle course reportedly contains one Rivian van for training purposes, with Amazon aiming to have humanoid robots 'hitch a ride in the back of Amazon's electric Rivian vans and spring out to deliver packages.' The report coincides with Amazon launching a new agentic AI team to help develop technologies that will power robots 'operating in Amazon distribution and logistics hubs.' In a statement to Silicon Valley, Amazon says that 'instead of rigid, specialized robots, we're creating systems that can hear, understand, and act on natural language commands, turning warehouse robots into flexible, multi-talented assistants.' Amazon is already using a variety of autonomous robots in its warehouse operations, including a trial of Agility Robotics' humanoid 'Digit' — a robot that was originally pitched for tasks like sitting in the back of vans and delivering packages, alongside other logistics uses. Amazon's training facility is a concerted effort to make this original vision a reality. The Information reports that a 'variety' of humanoid robots will be tested for package delivery at its facility, including a $16,000 unit from China-based Unitree. Hundreds of thousands of people currently handle delivery operations at Amazon globally. Amazon acquired the robotaxi company Zoox in 2020, suggesting a desire to fully automate end-to-end package delivery, from the warehouse to your front door.

Why Stellantis and Amazon Axed Their SmartCockpit Partnership
Back in January 2022, Stellantis, the multinational automaker that is the parent company of American brands like Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, as well as European powerhouses like Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati, announced a multiyear agreement revolving primarily around in-cabin software. The main product from the Amazon-Stellantis link-up was called SmartCockpit, a "software-defined platform" that was intended to "seamlessly integrate with customers' digital lives" and ship in global Stellantis vehicles by 2024. However, a new report from Reuters confirms that Amazon's deal with Stellantis to create this software is sunsetting after it missed the 2024 deadline. In a statement sent to the newswire, neither Stellantis nor Amazon told Reuters exactly why they had come to the decision. Still, they noted that each company would continue on its separate path. "Stellantis remains a valuable partner for Amazon, and the companies continue to work together on a range of initiatives," the two companies wrote in a statement to Reuters. They added that the break "will allow each team to focus on solutions that provide value to our shared customers and better align with our evolving strategies." The goal of SmartCockpit was to turn ordinary Chryslers, Dodges, Jeeps, Rams, as well as Fiats, Alfa Romeos, and Maseratis, into software-defined vehicles like those of rivals like Tesla, Rivian, and BYD. In Stellantis's 2022 release announcing and detailing its plans to develop SmartCockpit, the two companies said that the software in Stellantis-branded cars will "seamlessly integrate with customers' digital lives to create personalized, intuitive in-vehicle experiences through AI-enhanced applications for entertainment, Alexa-enabled voice assistance, navigation, vehicle maintenance, ecommerce marketplaces, and payment services." The 'STLA SmartCockpit platform,' as it was called, would use purpose-built Amazon products for Stellantis, integrate Amazon's Echo and Alexa smart home and security ecosystem, and create a smartphone-like in-car software experience tailored for specific vehicles and their owners. "For example, Chrysler Pacifica vehicles could offer a family-trip planner that recommends media content, points of interest, restaurants, and other fun stops along the route," Stellantis said. " Jeep® vehicles could come with a digital off-road 'coach' to help customers calibrate the vehicle and optimize performance before tackling tough terrain." At the time, then-Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares called the Amazon partnership "an integral part of our capability building roadmap," adding that Amazon's tech prowess would help transform the driving experience of its vehicles. "By leveraging artificial intelligence and cloud solutions, we will transform our vehicles into personalized living spaces and enhance the overall customer experience, making our vehicles the most wanted, most captivating place to be, even when not driving," Tavares said. The end of this partnership comes as Stellantis enters a transition period following the tenure of Carlos Tavares, with the newly appointed CEO, Antonio Filosa, taking the helm in June. I think that the rather quiet realization of the end of this partnership goes to show that Stellantis is prioritizing its approach going forward. That being said, the fact that we are in the era of the software-defined vehicle is rather interesting, especially considering that companies like Google (with Google Built-in) and Apple's CarPlay Ultra are making their way to dominate every screen on dashboards. If it came to light, having Amazon in the mix would have been a very left-field option. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
