A dead car battery or a low tire always seems to happen at the worst time. If you want something reliable to keep in your trunk for those moments, the DEWALT DXAEJ14 Digital Portable Power Station Jump Starter is a practical pick—especially now that it’s on sale. It’s currently $109.55, down from a typical $129, giving you a sturdy, all-in-one roadside tool from a brand known for its durability.
Unlike basic jump starters, the DXAEJ14 brings several tools together in one unit. First, you get 1600 peak amps, which is enough power to jump most cars, SUVs, and light trucks without needing another vehicle. The heavy-duty clamps and clear digital display make it straightforward to use, even if you’re not especially handy.
There’s also a 120 PSI digital air compressor, which is useful for topping up low tires, filling sports equipment, or adding a little air to a lawn mower or bike. The compressor includes an auto-stop function so you can set your PSI and let it handle the rest.
For electronics, the power station includes both a 15W USB-A port and a 25W USB-C port, so you can quickly charge phones, tablets, and smaller gadgets while on the go. The built-in LED work light adds convenience when you’re dealing with nighttime breakdowns or garage tasks.
The DXAEJ14 stands out because it combines several emergency tools into one compact device. Instead of carrying a separate air pump, jump starter, and portable charger, you get everything in a single unit that lives neatly in the trunk. DEWALT’s reputation for durable construction also makes this feel like a long-term buy rather than a disposable gadget.
The combination of 1600 peak amps and a 120 PSI digital compressor covers two of the most common vehicle problems: dead batteries and low tires. Having both on hand means you’re not stuck waiting for roadside assistance or relying on a gas-station air pump.
At $109.55, you’re getting a jump starter with more features than many competitors in the same price range, and the addition of USB fast charging makes it useful even outside emergencies—like camping trips, work sites, or long drives.
If you want a dependable tool that can jump your car, inflate tires, and charge devices all from one device, the DEWALT DXAEJ14 is a smart pickup. At $109.55 for Black Friday, it’s a solid discount on a compact, durable piece of gear that’s worth keeping in every trunk.
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.
