TV remotes, smoke detectors, alarm clocks — the list goes on. Batteries are never a fun purchase, but they’re necessary. Stocking up on them while there is a big sale is a great way to save some money and forget about them for a while. Right now Amazon is having one of those sales.

The Avapow W68 car battery jump starter and its accessories.

You won't always need a car battery jump starter, but it's much better to buy one now than to miss it when you need it. You don't have to spend a lot of cash on one too, because there are offers like Walmart's $187 discount for the Avapow W68 car battery jump starter. From its original price of $320, it's all the way down to an affordable $133. We're not sure how much time is remaining for you to be able to take advantage of this bargain though, so you need to complete your purchase right now if you don't want to miss out on the savings.

Why you should buy the Avapow W68 car battery jump starter
There are a few reasons why a car battery loses its charge, including when the car isn't used for a long period of time, the car battery is too old, or you leave power-consuming accessories like the lights or the radio on while the engine is off. Jump-starting a car is an easy process if you have the right tools for it, and the Avapow W68 car battery jump starter has everything that you need. It provides up to 6000A of peak current that's suitable for all 12-volt vehicles -- not just cars but also boats, TVs, tractors, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, and more.

Prime Day 2022 security camera deals graphic.

If you live somewhere that deals with a bit of crime and want a bit of security, a home security camera can be a good option, even if it's just to keep an eye 0n things. The great thing is that in the past decade or so, security cameras have come a long way, and nowadays, you can get things like wireless security cameras that let you access them remotely from wherever you are through an application. Of course, that does mean that there is a huge selection out there, which is why we've collected some of our favorite security camera deals below, although if you're in the Amazon ecosystem, it might be worth checking out these Ring camera deals.
EufyCam 2C Pro -- $70 $150 53% off

Another budget-friendly option is the EufyCam 2C Pro, which has a surprisingly long battery, up to a full year, an impressive number regardless of which way you cut it. It also has a pretty loud siren to warn you and, even more impressively, offers an anti-theft feature that triggers said loud siren. Unfortunately, it does have a couple of downsides, with the primary one being that faces aren't obvious at night, and that may impact identifying a trespasser. A lot of that has to do with the maximum 2k resolution, which isn't as high as other offerings on this list that go up to 4k. You will need an Amazon Prime membership to get this discount though.
