Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

I have personally purchased this phone charger and car jumper device -- for about $50 on Amazon. (Note: this is an affiliate link for Techdirt, so we receive some cut.)
I've used it a few times to jump my car, and it works as I expected -- takes less than a minute to connect and jump. And there's not a whole lot of things that can go wrong -- just gotta make sure red is connected to red (and black to black) and that this portable battery has enough charge in it.
If you're looking around for car jumpers, I'd recommend avoiding the kind that plug into the cigarette lighter. Even though those devices look easier to use, they are limited by the fuse for the lighter outlet, so they take a while (more than a minute) to actually work.
There are other devices with more amps and whatnot, but this thing is a bit cheaper than some others. I'm no car expert or anything, and if you find a better/cheaper device, let me know.

Re: Re:
BTW, You can't jump start a car by connecting through the cigarette lighter socket because that circuit can't handle anywhere near the amps required to turn the engine. Maybe for charging the battery, but certainly not jumping a dead one.
If this site has an affiliate account with Amazon.com, any links are well hidden. How about making it more prominent? I'm sure many of us would rather support Techdirt by shopping at Amazon than by swallowing these spoonfed "daily deals" when there are often much better choices available at Amazon, as well as wider delivery.

Re: Re: Re:
Techdirt has an affiliate account with Amazon... but we currently only use the links for the Techdirt Reading List. You should be able to see that reading list as a widget on the right hand column of our website. so look this way -->
I suppose we could add another widget/list for Amazon stuff beyond books... but how should we curate the products that might go into that?

It's rare for professional reviewers to even call them on it, and the ones like me who do, never get a second power bank from the same company. Oops.
So yeah, power banks are part of a surreal world where nobody gets anything near what they pay for and nobody complains.
