The chilly weather can wreak havoc on our vehicles, causing flat batteries and seizing wheels or brakes. However, did you know that a car jump starter can be purchased for a relatively affordable price?
Indeed, there’s no need to spend over £100 or rely on a friend or family member to jump-start your car anymore – all you need is the right equipment.
The GOOLOO car jump starter could be just what you’re looking for. Despite its amusing name, it’s currently priced at less than £40, and you can get an additional discount with a code (THCK4JI9) that takes 10% off the price at checkout.

It boasts 2000A peak cranking power and can 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 more.
It also 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, making it a handy tool to keep in your car.
The jump starter has also received rave reviews. One reviewer commented: “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.”

However, some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the torch. One reviewer stated: “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!”
