The Car Battery Jump Starter I Recommend to Everyone Is a Must Have Lifesaver
Ever since then, I've been sure to keep several key items in my car in case of an emergency, and one of those is a portable jump starter. The Powrun P-One is the jump starter I keep in my trunk and I'll recommend it to who will listen.
This 12-volt portable jump starter battery pack can start my car in seconds without another car or anyone else's help. Complete with mini jumper cables and instructions, it's practically idiot-proof. (I say this proudly as a car idiot who has used this pack several times to jump-start my car.)
It's incredibly easy to use. You prepare your car like you would if you were jumping it from another car. Pop the hood, locate the battery and attach the jumper cables. Then, using the black connector attached to the jumper cables, you plug the jumper cables into the battery pack, matching up the blue plug to the corresponding port on the battery pack. Then, you flip the switch to turn the battery pack on, and a green light on the jumper cable connector will signal you have a good connection. All you have to do is retry starting your car and that extra charge bank should give you the juice you need to get it running.
This battery has enough juice to jump-start your car up to 25 times from a single charge and is compatible with 12-volt gasoline and diesel engines. Plus, it has an intelligent safety system (in the form of eight types of protection systems) to make sure you don't electrocute yourself. In addition to helping you get moving, this battery also comes with a flashlight, compass and ports you can use to charge your phone or other devices. It also has a display screen that shows your use and remaining battery power. It's lightweight, compact and easy to store in your glove box or trunk.
This is everything that comes with the battery jump starter.

Why the Powrun P-One makes a great gift
I don't like to tout any product as life-saving, but this one really could be. Luckily for me, my car battery died during daylight hours in a relatively safe place, but the situation easily could've been much worse. Aside from the convenience of not needing another car to get a jump start, this portable jump starter is as much a safety tool as it is a car tool. I feel much better driving around knowing I have it in my trunk, ready to go if needed. If you use the Powrun P-One only once, it'll probably provide relief that will justify its purchase.
This jump starter may not be the "coolest" of graduation gifts, but it's practical, thoughtful and sets the recipient up for real-world adulting. Plus, if your giftee ever needs it, you can most definitely expect a thank you call or text afterward.

UK auto production to drop 15% in 2025, recovery expected in 2026, SMMT data shows
(Reuters) -Britain's new vehicle production is expected to decline by 15% in 2025, weighed down by global trade disruption; however, a reversal is expected the next year, industry data showed on Thursday. While global automakers continue to feel the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, the UK is set to benefit from a new trade deal that slashed taxes on British car exports. UK new vehicle production is expected to reach 755,000 units this year, data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders showed, lower than last year. However, the sector is expected to recover in 2026 with a 6.4% growth, pushing numbers back above 800,000 units. "There are foundations for a return to growth," said SMMT CEO Mike Hawes, after calling half-yearly output figures "disappointing". Car and commercial vehicle manufacturing fell nearly 12% to 417,232 units in the first six months of the year. However, June output rose 6.6% in the month, breaking its five-month downward trend, to 66,317 units. However, electrified car production rose by 1.8% to 160,107 units – a record share of output for the first half of the year.

Texas Instruments CEO's tariff comments surprise investors
Texas Instruments CEO's tariff comments surprise investors originally appeared on TheStreet. It's the Alamo all over again. They say everything is bigger in Texas, and Texas Instruments () shares took a 10-gallon dive on July 23 after the semiconductor company issued weak earnings guidance and raised concerns about the Trump administration's tariffs. 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰 "I think the situation of tariffs and geopolitics is rough on supply chains," Chief Executive Haviv Ilan said during the second-quarter-earnings call. "That's not over. True, that we're paused right now on the semiconductor tariffs, both in the U.S. and in China, but we have to be prepared for what the future may hold." "We want to make sure — and this is also the message to our customers — that we'll remain flexible," he added. In April President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping series of tariffs that rattled the markets and sparked retaliation from several countries. Texas Instruments, which beat Wall Street's earnings and revenue expectations, is not the only company to recently note the impact of tariffs. TI: customer inventories low; company well positioned General Motors () executives said in the automaker's quarterly earnings call that tariffs cost the company $1.1 billion over three months, paring the company's profit margin to 6.1% from 9%. Stellantis () , the automaker that owns the Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram brands, paid about $387 million in tariffs over the last quarter. And production pauses — a strategy to avoid paying tariffs — contributed to a 6% year-over-year decline in the number of vehicles the company shipped to dealers, NPR reported. More Tech Stocks: Analyst who correctly predicted Rocket Lab stock surge resets forecast Verizon Q2 earnings report surprises with remarks on tax reform Fund manager who forecast Nvidia stock rally reboots outlook American steelmakers are also raising prices on the heels of the tariffs on steel and aluminum. Meanwhile, Trump on July 22 unveiled a deal with Japan that includes reciprocal tariffs of 15% on the country's exports to the U.S., according to CNBC. Auto duties reportedly were lowered to that level as well. In addition, the EU and the US are nearing a trade deal that would place 15% tariffs on most imports from the bloc, the Guardian reported. During the call, Ilan told analysts the "the semiconductor cycle is playing out." The chip industry historically has tended to boom-and-bust periods roughly every three to four years. However, analysts are reassessing the so-called silicon cycle amid geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions, particularly between the U.S. and China. "Cyclical recovery is continuing," Ilan said. "while customer inventories remain at low levels. In times like this, it is important to have capacity and inventory, and we are well-positioned." He said Q2 was likely a combination of "customers wanting to have a little bit more inventory because of tariffs, and also the cyclical recovery." Analyst: Texas Instruments EPS missed the mark "When customers make orders, they don't tell us why they want more parts," he said. "I would assume that some of it was for ... building a little bit of a of inventory on those shelves to protect themselves from tariffs." "I don't know how the third quarter will play out," Ilan continued, "but that's part of the way we are forecasting Q3."Investment firms issued research reports following TI's earnings report. Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore lowered his price target on Texas Instruments to $197 from $205 and affirmed an underweight rating on the shares, according to The Fly. The June quarter was stronger than expected on strength in industrial, personal electronics, and communication infrastructure. But guidance for 4% growth is "seasonal at best" since for the second year in a row the company followed up a better-than-seasonal June quarter with weaker September-quarter guidance, the analyst said. TI said the automotive business hasn't yet started to recover and TI stock's valuation "leaves no room for error," Moore added. Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland lowered his price target on TI to $240 from $250 and maintained a positive rating on the shares. While the company reported better top-line results and guidance, the EPS outlook missed the mark. Additionally, management voiced caution on the pace of the cyclical recovery due to tariff-related uncertainty. TI executives struck a more cautious tone and said that outsized strength in Industrial and China might subside, Rolland said. And Truist raised its price target on Texas Instruments to $196 from $171 and reiterated a hold rating. Management characterized Q2 demand as strong, customer inventories as lean, and tariffs as mere noise. But unless TI delivers significant upside to Q3 guidance, or sales growth reaccelerates later, the Q2 result looks like peak growth this cycle, the firm Instruments CEO's tariff comments surprise investors first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 23, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 23, 2025, where it first appeared.
