Whether you're driving a Class A RV or a small travel trailer attached to a tow vehicle, you may be in the middle of nowhere. If your car battery dies, there may not be anyone around to start it right away. Harbor Freight sells the Viking 1700 Peak Amp Portable Car Battery Jump Starter, which can jumpstart up to V8 gasoline and V6 diesel engines.
This jumper starter has several features that you can take advantage of. There's a very sturdy clamp to ensure the clamp stays in place while charging, and an easy-to-use master on/off switch to turn off power to the clamp when needed. If you need to charge other items like your phone or laptop, there's also a fast-charging 2.4A USB output and a 12V cigarette lighter option. Additionally, it also comes with a 150 PSI air compressor for heavy-duty tires.
This jump starter has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from over 500 buyers. Many reviews state that this product is easy to use and has been used successfully many times. One reviewer bought four to have on hand. One complaint, however, is that you need to charge the jumper starter after a few uses. If you must use it, we recommend that you do not turn off your car until you arrive at the location where the battery will be replaced.
