Nearly 73,000 shoppers rave about this 'lifesaver' car jump starter

In a perfect world, your car would function at a peak level each and every time you turn it on. In reality, that's not always the case. Sometimes car batteries die, and you need a way to bring yours back to life — that's when you need a reliable jump starter. Well, just for today, Amazon is running a one-day sale on the bestselling Noco Boost Plus GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter. There are other Noco jump starters on sale today, but this is the deal you definitely don't want to miss.

This jump starter is simple to use: Just match up the clamps to your car battery, turn it on, press a button and get to work.

An army of Amazon shoppers have referred to this Noco jump starter as a "lifesaver" (more on that in a moment) and there's a reason for that. The 1,000-amp battery can safely jump start a dead battery in seconds, and offers up to 20 jump starts on a single charge.

The battery features a specialized design to make it as easy as possible to jump start your car, with coordinating clamps you simply place on your car battery before firing it up. It's also safe to use thanks to spark-proof technology and reverse polarity protection.

This isn't just a jump starter, though. It also doubles as a portable power bank and LED flashlight, so you can recharge your phone and see in the dark in a pinch.

Worth noting: This battery is compact. It's just 2.4 pounds and over 8 inches long, making it easy to toss in your car and forget about until the need strikes.

Again, the Noco Boost Plus GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter is a fan-favorite at Amazon, with many reviewers saying it got them out of a bind quickly.

"It's a life-saver," shared a happy customer. "If not for this, I'd have been late or missed work many days, or had to shell out money instead for Lyft."

"Everybody should have one," added a five-star fan. "Amazing product. Saved my life because my car was having battery problems in the middle of nowhere and this jumper helped me a lot."

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

This sale is only on until midnight — after that, you're back to paying full price.

At 4.61 x 8.19 x 4.21 inches, the Noco jump starter is petite enough to stash in your trunk or even glove box without hogging a ton of room.
