We’ve posted several deals on USB power banks that can also jump start a dead car battery, but this new model from Anker puts out 600 amps, compared to 400-450 on most other models. For your standard dead car battery, 400 is probably enough, but if it’s really dead, or hasn’t been started in a long time, the extra oomph could make a big difference.

Every modem rental fee you pay to your ISP is padding for their bottom line, and a total rip-off for you. Fortunately, you can buy your own modem for a relatively small upfront cost, and knock a few bucks off your monthly bill.

There’s a general consensus that Motorola’s SB6141 is the best modem for most cable internet subscribers, but it usually runs in the $80-$90 range. Today only though, you can score a refurb from Woot for $55 shipped. You can also opt to save $10 with the lower-end SB6121, which maxes out at 172mbps downstream vs. 343. vs. Either way, they’ll pay for themselves in short order. [Refurb Motorola Modems, $45-$55]

Rather than trying to sell you on this forehead thermometer, I’ll just share what our deal researcher Corey said about it in an email.

Today only, Home Depot is taking up to 40% off select LED light bulbs, including a 4-pack of Philips SlimStyles for just $16.

LEDs are still fairly expensive upfront compared to the alternatives, but they pay for themselves with energy savings and lifespans that can stretch over decades.
