A jump starter is an essential part of car's emergency kit and you don't need to pay a premium for a cordless model that gets the job done reliably. Amazon is currently offering Amazon Prime members the AstroAI S8 Pro 12V 3,000A cordless car jump starter for just $29.99 shipped after clipping a 50% off coupon on the product page or applying coupon code "ZO53ZNI4". I've written about it before, but this is the first time I've seen the price dip below $30.
AstroAI S8 Pro 12V 3,000A Car Jump Starter for $29.99
The AstroAI S8 Pro is a 12V cordless car jump starter that can supply 3,000A of peak power and 500 cold cranking amps. AstroAI states that it's capable of jump starting up to 9L gas or 6L diesel engines. The sizeable 12,000mAh battery will give you several jump starts before needing a recharge. Since the battery uses lithium (NMC) cells, it will retain most of its charge even after 24 months of non-use. The AstroAI S8 Pro can also double up as a portable power bank with a USB Type-C port, so you can use it to charge your iPhone or smartphone in a pinch.
The jump starter is relatively compact, weighs about 1.5 pounds, and stows away easily in your trunk or dash. It has a built in flashlight with three separate modes (flashlight, SOS, and strobe) for emergencies. It recharges quickly over UBS Type-C and a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable is supplied in the package.
