This Jump Up Car Starter is perfect for emergencies. When the battery dies, simply plug the Jump Up into your car’s cigarette lighter and in 10 to 20 minutes your car will be ready to go! But, now the Jump Up needs a jump. To recharge this charger, simply flip a switch and plug it in while your car is running. Some would call it the circle of life!

Don’t be left sitting in the cold waiting for a friend who might later text you and say he can’t make it. Get this Jump Up Emergency Car Jump Starter today!

Nifty idea none-the-less. Now if someone could make a good one that isn't the professional ones.

Lol. From the product description: "If your vehicle does not start after second attempt, do not use the Jump Up Jumpstarter. Your battery needs professional servicing and/or possible replacement."

Or maybe, y'know, a proper jumpstart.

@druke: There are many good portable jump-starters out there that aren't "professional". Yes, you have to hook them up to the actual car battery, but it's pretty basic-level stuff, and just about foolproof. And they'll provide far more amperage than this tarted-up lantern battery ever could.

I have never seen good comments from a cigarette-lighter car jump-starter.
They pretty much all suck, it's just not a good idea.

This is a terrible product. Your car can only put about 15 amps through the cigarette lighter and your car needs about 500 to start. I cant believe people are up voting this. Take my word for it and do not buy it. If your cheap get some cables and rely on someone else to jump your car. Best would be to get a starter battery box from walmart or something and keep it in the car. Some even have air compressors and a light in them!

@druke: My son has one that has worked very well. So well, indeed, that my husband bought several more for the rest of us. They cost quite a bit more than this one, but I will find out the brand and post the information here if anyone is interested.

@silentsnow31802: 15 amps through the cigarette lighter isn't a problem: this is intended to recharge the main car battery, not provide 500 amps for starting directly.

Can't see this working well (won't recharge the battery enough if you left the lights on all night), but it's super cheap and simple. If you're seriously worried about this, I'd recommend a full 500+ amp jumpstarter from Walmart, Costco or Harbor Freight Tools ($40-50) instead.

If anyone does buy and use this:
Plug this in when your car fails to start once. If you fail to start your car several times, the car's battery will be too weakened for this to help.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
