IGN is highlighting a discounted price on the AstroAI S8, a 12V cordless car jump starter, which it describes as a convenient and affordable alternative to traditional jumper cables since it removes the need for another vehicle or a tow truck. The deal is presented as good value for a device the reviewer considers a worthwhile addition to any car's emergency kit, noting personal experience of it reliably jump-starting an ageing car battery over several years.

The AstroAI S8 delivers 1,500 amps of peak power, enough to start most petrol engines up to 6 litres and diesel engines up to 3 litres, covering the vast majority of cars and pickups on the road. Its 10,000mAh battery allows several jump starts per charge and can double as a USB power bank for charging phones, while the unit itself weighs under a pound, includes a built-in flashlight with SOS and strobe modes, and recharges via USB-C, with a charging cable included.
