If there’s one thing my therapist can tell you about me, it’s that I’m am terrified to ask anyone for help for any reason whatsoever. God forbid I inconvenience anyone for even a few seconds. So if I ever find myself in returning to my car in a parking lot to see that the battery is dead and I cannot start it, well, I guess I just live in that parking lot now. That’s at least what my mentality was before I got an emergency jump starter. The Noco Boost Plus is a portable charger with jumper cables that will get your car started without the need to hook up to a second vehicle. It’s 20% off on Amazon so you can get this #1 Best Seller for just $100.
This 1,000 amp lithium battery jump starter can jump a car up to 20 times before it needs to be recharged. It’s both safe and easy to use, so you won’t have to worry about any incorrect connections or making sparks. It’s mistake-proof and spark-proof so you can connect to any 12-volt vehicle with no worry.
So we’re having fun in jest. Obviously in an emergency situation, I’d have no problem asking someone for help to get my car started if I needed it. However, this real miracle of this little booster pack is for a situation where you are alone and there is no one to ask for help. It’s one of those products that you hope you never have to use, but you’ll be thankful you have it if there situation is to ever come up.
Not Just a Jump Starter
Or maybe you’ll use it all the time! This thing does more than start up dead car batteries.
The Noco Boost Plus doubles as a portable power bank. You can recharge smartphones, tablets, and other devices and the unit itself is easily rechargeable from any powered USB port. It only takes three hours to fully charge back up.
Additionally, it has an LED flashlight which includes seven light modes, some of which are an emergency strobe and SOS.
