The cold weather means it’s probably playing absolute hell on our cars, with flat batteries and seizing up wheels or brakes – but did you know you can get a car jump starter for a relatively cheap price?
Yep, you guessed it. You don’t need to spend more than £100 or getting a friend or family member to help start your car anymore – all you need to worry about is getting the right equipment.
And this GOOLOO car jump starter might be the one for you. It is currently less than £40 and you can get it even cheaper with a code that you can attach to the checkout page using the code THCK4JI9 that takes 10% off the price.
It has 2000A peak cranking power will jump start all 12-volt dead vehicles up to 8.0L gas or 6.0L diesel. The GP2000 car jump starter battery pack is suitable for cars, motorcycles, SUVs, trucks cargo vans, ATVs, snowmobiles, yachts, and many more.
It even doubles as a portable power bank, equipped with two USB outputs (5V/9V/12V) and (5V/2.4A), allowing you to charge your devices on the go. Additionally, it features a 400-lumen LED flashlight, providing illumination during dark situations and emergencies so you can leave it in your car when you need it.
There’s also glowing reviews on the jump starter. One person said: “Arrived quickly. Very neat carry bag, excellent, easy instructions. I thought that such a small pack would not have the capability to start larger vehicles, but I was very impressed, it really packs a punch. I have used it to start my lorry, and also my tractor. I take it everywhere now! Added bonus is it only needs charging every 3 months, unless of course it’s used loads!”
People have complained about the torch however so keep that in mind. One person said: “Its only downfall is the torch, but that’s not what you’re buying it for. I tried it on a car that’s been sitting since the outbreak of covid. Fired up, without zero effort, as if the car was parked the day before.
“This thing will get you out of trouble. Just don’t keep it in the boot, if you have an electronic latch!”
There are alternatives to consider. If you want a more well-known brand, you can go for this Noco jump starter from Halfords for £115.95. Or if you need a small charger to keep your car battery topped up, Halfords sells one here for £33.99
