When it comes to jump starting a dead car battery, we have trouble keeping the logistics straight (The red cable clamps to which battery terminal?). Given the risk of blowing up our DieHard, we’d just as soon call road service. But the Charge-and-Start ($29) gives us an easier — and slightly less emasculating — option. Just connect the ends to the AC power ports/lighter sockets of the two cars (the device has an 8-foot cable) and you can jump start your car without having to crack the hood. The Charge-and-Start also includes a battery-level digital indicator, LCD voltage display and battery-tester light.
