Get Moving Again With a Car Battery Jump Starter
A dead battery can leave you stuck at home or stranded while you’re out. If you have a car battery jump starter on hand, it can revive your battery and get your car moving again without needing another vehicle to give you a boost. At Lowe’s, you can find a portable car jump starter and other items to help you in emergencies.
We have small, portable jump starters that can fit in the glove compartment of your car but are still powerful enough to start 8-cylinder gasoline engines. Many of our jump starters have USB ports for charging additional devices, and some of our larger models also function as power stations — perfect for camping and tailgating. Some include air compressors to quickly inflate tires. And, of course, we have jumper cables to help start your car with another vehicle’s assistance.
Car battery chargers extend the life of weak batteries before they fail and leave you in the lurch. A jump-start car battery charger will help you to maintain your battery while also providing emergency boosts when required. We also stock roadside emergency kits to help you deal with a number of other emergency situations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a car battery be too dead to jump?
A: You can almost always jump-start a car battery. If you’re having issues jump-starting your vehicle, you may need to replace your battery. Another possible solution is to replace the alternator. If an alternator is faulty, it’ll be impossible to jump-start the battery.
Q: What’s the maximum amperage of a jump starter?
A: At Lowe’s, we have several options when it comes to jump starters. The maximum amperage of jump starters that we carry is 12,000 amps. At the lower end of the range, we also carry jump starters with 200 amps. That level of power is best for jobs like starting portable generators and small engine batteries.
Q: What lengths are jumper cables available in?
A: Jumper cables come in a variety of lengths, including 12 feet long, 20 feet long, 40 feet long and various lengths in between. Whether you need a short or long jumper cable, we have plenty of options to choose from.
