Having a portable jump starter is convenient insurance against getting stranded in the biting cold or scorching heat. A portable jump starter, sometimes called a power pack, is typically a sealed, maintenance-free battery itself with jumper cables coming out of one side. Portable jump starters need to be charged every so often to deliver maximum power, but their small size makes them easy to transport.
