When your car battery dies and there's nowhere else to turn, a portable jump starter is a godsend. The Avapow H8 in particular offers top-of-the-line performance, and it's a fraction of the price of other jumper boxes in its class at just $150, thanks to an onsite coupon that takes $10 off the already reduced $160 listing.
Among the many perks, the main reason to own a portable jump starter is that it's entirely self-sufficient. Unlike the traditional jump starters of yesteryear, you don't have to worry about standing around waiting for roadside assistance or a generous stranger to show up and offer a jump. A digital jumper box is instead powered by a strong lithium battery that far exceeds what you need for a single jump, and it includes a whole gamut of safety features to prevent overload, excessive temperatures, and short-circuits.
While Avapow doesn't officially state how many times you can revive a battery with the H8 jump starter on a single charge, considering the H8's 40,000mAh capacity and the fact that it only takes a little over 300mAh to jump-start the average car, it's safe to say it can handle far more than you can throw at it — especially since it's recommended you recharge the jump starter battery itself every 2-3 months or it'll degrade faster.
Nevertheless, the Avapow H8 has enough umph not only to give gas-powered cars a jump, but it can also bring trucks, motorcycles, boats, RVs, ATVs, lawnmowers, and even tractors back to life — all in a matter of seconds, the manufacturer claims. That'll keep you on the road at least until you're able to replace or recharge the 12V battery in your vehicle.
In addition to its primary function as a vehicular resuscitation tool, the Avapow H8 features a bidirectional 60W USB-C charging as well as 18W USB Type-A for your other devices, such as smartphones and tablets. A bright LED flashlight is onboard, complete with three different modes, in case a nighttime emergency arises. The jump starter even comes with a carrying case so you can confidently zip it up and toss it in the trunk. Not that it's exactly prone to damage, as its IP65 rating means it's both water-resistant and dustproof.
'I've used several jump starters, but this one stands out,' said one shopper. 'Its reliability in jump-starting both gas and diesel engines makes it a standout choice for any driver. Its versatility and massive capacity make it the ultimate choice for me.'
With a peak current of 10,000 amps, the Avapow H8 delivers top-of-the-line performance for a fraction of the price of its competitors at an unbeatable $250 discount when you order online.
