COMPACT JUMP-STARTERS BUYER’S GUIDE
— Here are the top 15 we like the best —
Thanks to compact, rechargeable jump-starters, a weak or dead battery doesn’t have to ruin or delay a ride.

Most can also power or recharge phones or computers. We gathered the best of these handy devices to help you find the one that’s perfect for your needs.
