Walmart is selling an ‘exceptional' $139 car battery charger for just $24
No one is enthused to find out their car battery died. But just because you left the headlights on overnight doesn't mean it's time for a replacement. These days, it doesn't take a trained mechanic to recharge any type of battery found in an internal combustion engine vehicle.
Automatic car battery chargers are widely available, easy to use, and more affordable than ever. In fact, this Husgw charger is on sale for $24 at Walmart— 82% off the original $139 price tag — and offers everything you need to not only jump start your car but restore it to its full glory.
Husgw Battery Charger, $24 (was $139) at Walmart
In addition to every type of 12V lead-acid battery, the Husgw T90583 is compatible with larger 24V batteries used in many heavy duty trucks and industrial vehicles. The only car batteries it won't charge are the lithium-ion variety found in battery-electric and hybrid vehicles — fortunately we have EV chargers for that. For the vast majority of batteries it will charge, the Husgw T90583 is essentially plug and play. Just connect each clamp to its corresponding terminal, select your mode, and start charging. Once it's finished the job, the charger will automatically shut off.
Since it is self-regulating, you won't have to babysit your battery charger for hours on end. Modern chargers including are equipped to prevent overcharging, overheating, and short-circuits. That said, you can intuitively monitor activity such as charge status, battery life, voltage, current, and temperature on the built-in LCD display. In addition to charging batteries, the device can extend the life of older, worn-down, or slightly damaged batteries, thanks to its pulse repair function. Additionally, the charger doubles as a maintainer to keep your battery from dying in cold weather, especially if it's not driven regularly.
Reviews of the car battery charger are favorable. One customer even called it an 'exceptional battery charger,' praising its 'advanced features.'
'The Husgw 12V 10A battery charger is a fantastic piece of equipment!' added that reviewer. 'From the moment I started using it, I was impressed by the intuitive color screen digital display that makes monitoring the charging process straightforward.'
'Stylish and sturdy,' said another shopper. 'I definitely find great attraction in this charger's exquisite design and small size.'
Other customers noted its compact size and impressive performance for the price. In any case, a battery charger is a smart addition to any automotive emergency kit, and the Husgw T90583 is among the most affordable considering the extent of its capabilities. For $24, you might as well give it a shot.

Tesla faces rare trial over death of young woman hit by electric car on Autopilot
A jury will decide whether Tesla is partly to blame for the death of a young woman who was hit by an electric car on Autopilot. Naibel Benavides was stargazing at the time of the collision, which sent her flying 22m (75ft) through the air in Florida. Her boyfriend was seriously injured in the 2019 incident, while her body was discovered in a wooded area. George McGee, the Tesla's driver, is not a plaintiff - and reached a separate settlement with the victims' families. Lawyers argue that the car's driver assistance feature should have warned the driver and braked before the collision. It is alleged the Model S sedan blew through red flights and a stop sign at nearly 70mph. But Tesla claims that the driver is solely to blame because he had reached down to pick up a dropped mobile phone at the time. In a statement, the company said: "The evidence clearly shows that this crash had nothing to do with Tesla's Autopilot technology. "Instead, like so many unfortunate accidents since cell phones were invented, this was caused by a distracted driver." Past cases against Tesla have been dismissed or settled, making this jury trial rare. Improvements to the company's driver assistance and partial self-driving features have been made in recent years - but in 2023, 2.3 million Tesla vehicles were recalled amid fears Autopilot was failing to sufficiently alert drivers not paying attention to the road. According to Sky's US partner network NBC News, Elon Musk was not in court as jury selection took place on Monday. Three potential jurors said they would struggle to be fair and impartial to Tesla because of the company's "ethics and ownership". After the jury was selected, a lawyer representing the victims said: "Evidence will show for years before and after this crime, Tesla ignored warnings." They added: "This is a case about shared responsibility. Tesla will take no responsibility for the failures of their Autopilot system. Evidence will show that every actor needs a stage and Tesla set the stage for the preventable actions that bring us here." The jury was also told that evidence will be introduced where Musk publicly declared that Tesla vehicles were "safer than a human".

Trump and Sen. Dave McCormick team up to promote energy investments in Pennsylvania
President Donald Trump and Sen. David McCormick of Pennsylvania will jointly announce roughly $70 billion of energy investments in the state Tuesday as the president travels to Pittsburgh for a conference with dozens of top executives to promote his energy and technology agenda. The Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit will be held at Carnegie Mellon University, and it comes as the state's political and business leaders are working to forge the city into a hub for robotics, artificial intelligence and energy. Trump has repeatedly pledged U.S. 'energy dominance' in the global market, and Pennsylvania — a swing state critical to his wins in 2016 and 2024 — is at the forefront of that agenda, in large part due to its coal industry that the Republican administration has taken several steps to bolster. Neither the White House nor McCormick's office gave breakdowns of the $70 billion or what the investments entail. McCormick, a Republican first-term senator who is organizing the inaugural event, says the summit is meant to bring together top energy companies and AI leaders, global investors and labor behind Trump's energy policies and priorities. He says the investments will spur tens of thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania. 'Pennsylvania is uniquely positioned because of abundant energy, of incredible skilled workers, technology,' McCormick said in a Fox News interview Monday promoting the summit. 'We need to win the battle for AI innovation in America, and Pennsylvania is at the center of it.' The list of participating CEOs includes leaders from global behemoths like Blackstone, SoftBank, Amazon Web Services, BlackRock and ExxonMobil and local companies such as the Pittsburgh-based Gecko Robotics, which deploys AI to bolster energy capacity. Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, will also attend. Administration officials speaking at the summit include White House crypto czar David Sacks, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. In the Fox News interview, McCormick credited his wife, Dina Powell McCormick, with the idea for a summit. Powell McCormick served as Trump's deputy national security adviser in his first term and is a former Goldman Sachs executive who is now at BDT & MSD Partners, a merchant bank. Pittsburgh is home to Carnegie Mellon University, a prestigious engineering school, plus a growing industry of small robotics firms and a so-called ' AI Avenue ' that's home to offices for Google and other AI firms. It also sits in the middle of the prolific Marcellus Shale natural gas reservoir. Pennsylvania has scored several big investment wins in recent months, some of it driven by federal manufacturing policy and others by the ravenous need for electricity from the fast-growing AI business. Nippon Steel just bought U.S. Steel for almost $15 billion, getting Trump's approval after pledging to invest billions alone in U.S. Steel's Pittsburgh-area plants. Amazon will spend $20 billion on two data center complexes in Pennsylvania, with more to come, while a one-time coal-fired power plant is being turned into the nation's largest gas-fired power plant to fuel a data center campus. Meanwhile, Microsoft says it is spending $1.6 billion to reopen the lone functional nuclear reactor on Three Mile Island under a long-term power supply agreement for its data centers. Shapiro, elected in 2022, has been pushing for the state to land a big multibillion-dollar industrial project, like a semiconductor factory or an electric vehicle plant. In his first budget speech, Shapiro — who is viewed as a potential White House contender in 2028 — told lawmakers that Pennsylvania needs to 'get in the game' and warned that it would take money. He didn't land a mega project, but he instead has worked to play up big investments by Amazon and Microsoft, as well as Nippon Steel, as he prepares to seek a second term. ___

Nvidia's CEO says it has approval to sell its H20 AI computer chips in China
Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang says the technology giant has won approval from the Trump administration to sell its advanced H20 artificial intelligence computer chips to China. Huang made the comments in a company blog late Monday and also spoke about the coup on China's state-run CGTN television network in remarks shown on X. The White House announced in April that it would restrict sales of Nvidia's H20 chips and AMD's MI308 chips to China. Nvidia said the tighter export controls would cost the company an extra $5.5 billion. Huang and other technology leaders have been lobbying President Donald Trump to reverse the restrictions. They argue that such limits hinder U.S. competition in a leading edge sector in one of the world's largest markets for technology.
