I have two of these since 2018. Every few months I have topped them off. Recently I acquired capacity test equipment, which drains the unit until the USB output falls below 4V and reports the mA*h consumed. After a top-off, one of them provided 3030 and the other only 2431. After charging them both back up, the capacity increased to 3532 and 3492 on the second test. So in the future I will do a full discharge and recharge once a year before winter, instead of a frequent top off. Evidently the top off causes the three cells in the battery pack to become unbalanced. The full cycle seems to make sure all three cells are at their best. For those of you who want to do this too, keep in mind the NOCO can also be used as a power bank to recharge your phone or other devices.

I've had the GB70 for a while now and I love it. It starts my 5.3 V8 several times on a charge and its a newer engine so it still has decent compression. The built in circuit protection is also cool and really dummy proofs it (won't let you attach it backwards and fry your computers). I got tired of dealing with long jumper wires and a second vehicle. The light on it is also super handy and quite bright. I've used it when camping (3 nights, for a majority of the night) and still had battery to spare. Definitely worth the money!

Are they designed to run a vehicle/machine with no battery in it at all?? If there is no battery installed and you start and run the machine on this jump pack, all of the charge from alternator will be going into this little jump pack and there will be no battery to absorb all of the amperage. I don’t know if it can handle that?

Once you have one of these, you won't need jumping cables anymore. I have GB70. Used it many times. One of those times my alternator died on the way to drop off kid to school. LIkely it wasn't far away from home. I connected it to battery and closed the hood and drove like that to my driveway from kid's school. It was powerful enough to run a car with failed alternator. It wasn't far but still. Maybe more than a mile or 2. Other time I used it on friends Toyota 4runner SUV and he was so impressed with it that he actually ordered one. Other use that I had for it was to connect portable car tire inflator to fill up a tire without using car's battery or 12V port. Really great device. I have it for 3 years and still going strong.

You mention that the battery may be too dead to jump @3:40. The GB40 has an override button with the red exclamation symbol on it. You hold this override button for a few seconds and then the chaser power level lights will come on. This should only be used if the battery is completely dead and is not recognized by the GB40. Using this override setting disables the safety features of the unit but does NOT increase the cranking power as some people think.

Jump starters are like having a life saver especially in the winter. After having a different brand for 9 years, I just bought a NOCO. The temperature has been in the single digits (that's in Fahrenheit for all the intentional peeps reading this 😌) so I'm actually looking forward to my car not not starting just so I can use it 😂 I had a less powerful jump starter that I used dozens of times over a span of 9 years and it was a 750amp jump starter. The NOCO jump starter I just bought is 1000 amps so it gives me peace of mind knowing it has more power than my previous jump starter. These are well worth the price as they give you peace of mind, especially if you want to make sure your family members won't be stranded if the battery dies especially when it reaches the single digits temperatures in the winter.

Great informative video. Having some major issues with my 2019 Honda Civic Sport. Had to have the car towed to the dealership 3 times. Initially while getting on to the freeway, the car totally died. Had to have it towed to the dealership. they were great and said I needed a new battery. The next 2 times, the car would turn over but not start. Again had to be towed. Every test that the dealer could perform was done. They can't find the problem. The dealership even contacted American Honda but no solution can be found. I'm now on my third battery and have had the car 4 years. The tow truck driver jump starts the car and it runs like it should. This is why i purchased the Noco GB 40. It won't solve the problem but hopefully it can start the car and I won't have to wait for AAA. All of these issues have happened during weather that was in the 90s-100s. The car has never overheated and fortunately there has been no out of pocket expense. Thanks and have a great day!

It worked when my car battery was completely dead not enough for the radio. The device was half on battery.

Average Car Battery life is 4-6 years . Some are treated better than others . If the Battery is the original it's as old as your car easy to figure out . If it's the second Battery you bought there Are usually Date Code stickers on the Battery Month and Year the Battery was made . 11/15 Nov of 2015 so if you find your Battery died and you had maybe only say left a light on a short time or played the Stereo for a short time and you need a Boost it maybe time for a New Battery ... Also if you know your Battery is not very old but your car is Highmilage it would be a good idea to have both the Battery and Alternator tested at a Shop ........ the Alternator and charge system get a work out the whole time the motor is running so those high milage cars and trucks are sometimes running on WEAK Alternators . Something to think about as you get running and have a chance to drive to a Shop and get things checked. Sadly also to say even in the Newer Battery older Alternator senario the weak alternator might have slowly damaged the battery that is the Battery had to work harder leading up to the Failure point ..... So don't be too surprised if the shop suggests a New Battery as well or as is common a few weeks later the Battery dies ...... it's normal because of that abuse it took . As the alternator was weak .

It was the second battery and about 3 years old. We did end up replacing it.

Yeah, I think my alternator is on it's way out, as my battery dies in long stop and go traffic (happened twice in like 3 years). The gb40 has gotten me home to recharge though.

The only problem with the booster batteries is that you need to take them into the hous or garage in the winter. They fail when they are cold.

Just had a 1 year old GB40, never used before, that I've kept topped at 100%, fail to start a 6cyl truck battery - would just click. After attaching the 40 the lights would chase so it looked to be connected properly. Had to jump off of another car. Disappointed. Defective? Can you trust these?

Can i use this and leave it to maintain my battery in my motorbike?
@SimplyMustGo8 ай бұрын
No. It’s not a charger. It only provides a single large boost of power to get the motor running. You need a trickle charger in order to maintain a battery charge over a long period of time.

Cool booster but unfortunately has only Usb micro instead of usb-c port. It is really huge disadvantage, but will try it in real life. Got mine just a half hour ago, doing the first charging right now.

Great demonstration. I just got one for my 52nd birthday. Wasn't sure about it starting a vehicle since the packaging read like it only charges cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc when you clip it to a car battery. It think I misread it. Looks like I'll keep it thanks to you

The clamps on this charger are extremely strong. Opening them wide enough to get around your battery post especially in a tight spot, is not easy. Few women and some men would have a problem with it. Plus it would not start my car.
@defenderovich1898 Жыл бұрын
What do I do if I have to use the manual override, then turn it off and back on without the manual override, it starts detecting the battery but would not crank the engine? The clmps connected securely. The car was sitting on th elot for close to two weeks. A 2 year old Bosch battery made in Germany.

Doesn't come with a charging plug block. Uses the old usb-a cord which is about 10 years obsolete. The entire world has changed over to usb-c. the car charger plug is pretty useless if your car is already dead. Other than that, it's fine.
