With cold weather on the way, it’s a great time to snag one of these on-the-road essentials.

It’s always smart to keep a portable jump starter with you for road emergencies—especially when cold weather hits. If you don’t have one in your arsenal or want a holiday gift for a new driver, you’re in luck: Several of our editor-approved jump starters are up to 50 percent off or more ahead of Amazon’s second mega sale this year, Prime Big Deal Days. The shopping extravaganza kicks off on Tuesday, October 10, and runs through Wednesday, October 11, with savings across the site on tools, generators, leaf blowers, and more.

As for deep discounts on portable jump starters, the sale includes our top pick for the best heavy-duty portable jump starter, the Clore Automotive Jump-N-Carry, now a whopping 57 percent off, down to an incredible $183. The 12-volt portable jump starter is the go-to for professional mechanics (and has been for decades), featuring 1,700 amps and a built-in voltmeter, a replaceable high-capacity battery, plus extra-long 68-inch cables. This is the portable jump starter to buy if you’re searching for a pro-grade option.

Another model we love is the ever-popular NOCO Boost Plus, now 20 percent off down to under $100 as an early Prime Big Deal Days bargain. In addition to a durable rubber over-molded casing that makes it water-resistant, there’s an integrated flashlight, and it’s one of the lightest portable jump starters out there at only 2.4 pounds. Considering its size and the included slip case, this would also make a great stocking stuffer.

We’re big fans of versatile equipment, which is why this AstroAI model with an integrated compressor for filling tires makes our list — and it’s now 30 percent off ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. It’s a bit larger than other options because it has a motor along with a battery, but we appreciate its easy-to-read display and large orange button—certainly handy if you break down in a snowstorm.

Also from AstroAI is this multifunctional 8-in-1 portable jump starter that doubles as a power bank for charging your phone, priced at 20 percent off in advance of Prime Big Deal Days. Among its lineup of features are two USB outputs (one is quick charging), a flashlight and compass, and a 12-volt outlet dongle. It also delivers an impressive 2,000 amps. Another big plus is that this model includes a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.

No matter which model best suits your needs and budget, if you want to invest, we highly suggest getting a jump on it ahead of Amazon's huge savings event.
