In the event of a dead battery, you could rely on the kindness of strangers who may or not be around, wait who knows how long for a roadside assistance truck to show up, or Uber/walk/hitchhike to the nearest service station to get help. Or, thanks to the miracles of modern technology, you could just grab your own jump starter, hook it up to your battery, jump start your vehicle, and be on your way. Right now, Walmart has this essential preparedness tool on sale for just $60.
The Buture 5000A Car Jump Starter is normally $330, so this represents an astounding 82% discount. And even without considering the percentage off, $60 for something that you can use to get out of dodge when you inevitably have car battery trouble is an absolute bargain.
This jumpstarter is compatible with some diesel and all gasoline engines, and it’s powerful enough to restart heavy-duty vehicles in extreme temperatures (-4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). There are 10 built-in safeguards to protect your car’s electric system from damage. There’s voltage protection, a reverse polarity alarm, and no-spark connection for safety. This device also comes with a 400-lumen emergency light, USB charging ports, and compass that can also help when you’re having car troubles.
Many customers were skeptical of this device because of the huge percentage discount, but many were also pleasantly surprised. One wrote that “on a vehicle with a completely dead battery, it cranked quickly and easily as if the vehicle had a brand new, fully charged battery.” Another got a 25-year-old F-150 to start after it had been dead for months.
Another shopper wrote that they’ve used this starter 15 to 20 times and it still has 65% of its own charge remaining, a testament to its impressive battery life. “Most importantly, it does not discharge over time or in cold weather,” making it a whole winter without dropping at all. For something that needs to be charged and ready to go on very short notice, that’s an invaluable quality.
The kind of peace of mind that the Buture 5000A Car Jump Starter can offer is worth more than $330. The chance to get it for just $60 is one that anyone who still drives a car that runs on gasoline should not miss.
