If you want a jump starter that doesn’t flinch at big engines or seriously drained batteries, this 6000A portable car battery booster is built for the heavy lifting. It’s currently $142.49, down from $219.99, which is a 35% Black Friday discount on a unit rated for all gas engines and up to 12L diesel.
Alongside jump-starting, it doubles as a power bank with fast-charging ports and a bright LED light, so it’s just as handy on road trips and campsites as it is during an unexpected breakdown.
This isn’t a basic “just enough to crank a compact car” box—it’s a high-output pack meant to handle demanding vehicles and rough scenarios.
The idea is to give you one compact device that can wake up a stubborn battery and keep your essential electronics powered when you’re away from an outlet.
Where this type of jump starter really shines is in its flexibility and headroom:
For people who drive bigger vehicles, tow, camp often, or just want more of a margin for error, the extra capacity and added outputs make it easier to justify spending more on a serious jump starter instead of a barebones one.
At $142.49, you’re getting a top-end unit at more of a mid-range price.
If you’d rather have a jump starter that feels overqualified than underpowered, this 6000A car battery booster is designed to be that “no drama” option in your trunk. With support for all gas engines and up to 12L diesel, quick-charge USB ports, DC output, and a bright LED light, it’s a single device that covers a lot of what you want in an emergency kit.
At $142.49, down from $219.99, it’s a strong Black Friday pickup for anyone who wants serious backup power for their vehicle and their devices.
BYD has launched the third-generation Qin Plus DM-i in China, and the first thing that caught my eye is its price. According to CarNewsChina, the plug-in hybrid sedan starts at 79,900 yuan, which is about $11,980. That’s an incredibly low price for a brand-new car, especially by US standards.
What’s even more impressive is the range. The Qin Plus DM-i can drive up to 137 miles on electricity alone, which should cover most people’s daily commutes without using a drop of gas. Once the battery runs out, the 1.5-liter engine takes over. Thanks to its 17-gallon tank and roughly 91 mpg with a drained battery, the combined range reaches up to 1,423 miles.
Apple won the PC market’s worst quarter, but that’s not the entire story. It won the race by stumbling less than everyone else.
PC makers shipped just 57 million computers worldwide in Q3, which might look good, but it’s a 21% year-over-year plunge (via Counterpoint Research). And despite Apple’s Mac shipments falling by 11%, to 5.6 million, its market share rose from 8.7% to 9.8%. How did that happen?
Update (October 22 23:54 PT): In response to our query, GM clarified that offline recording support is already available on eligible vehicles. Like Tesla's Sentry Mode, it requires owners to connect a USB drive to save incident recordings, which can be viewed on the vehicle's infotainment screen. The upcoming Connected Cameras feature will build on this by giving owners remote access to these recordings via the revamped OnStar app, allowing them to check footage without walking out to their car.
General Motors has announced plans to add a new Connected Cameras feature to its OnStar service starting next year, giving drivers a way to monitor parked vehicles remotely and capture footage of certain incidents.
