Question:

Good morning! I already own a heavy-duty jump starter for work, but I want something small for my personal car to fit in the glove box. Any suggestions?

Good morning Owen!

Since you’ve already got the heavy-duty side covered, the Projecta Intelli-Start 900A jump starter # VX95NR makes a lot of sense for a personal vehicle. It’s small, easy to live with, and still far more capable and safer than the cheap glovebox jump packs you see everywhere.

This unit can recharge of your vehicle's alternator after jump starting the car (usually full within 40 seconds). This means you won't need to bring it in to charge!

Have you had to jump start your car yet this winter? I had to on my truck last week since Missouri is below freezing right now. Turned out the battery was a few years old so I replaced it for peace of mind.
