[@Dinie09]

Request, sorry if I missed it in a video, can you do a cold comparison? Where I live it routinely gets to be -30F at night so cold starts are crazy. The lithium packs definitely have a harder time in the cold. Ultimate test would be cold engine and cold battery pack, but understandably it might be hard to get a super cold engine. Sometimes on long outings I can't take the jump pack with me to keep it warm, so I have to leave it in the car. So far my battery has been doing well in the cold, but having one of these as backup would be a great stress relief.

Too bad their products don't last - mine died within a year after only one use - just avoid it & buy the NOCO - I know it seems expensive but it lasts longer than a few months and one use. A lot of mechanics I know have NOCO and use them every day. I was hugely skeptical given it's a lot more $$$ and bought a Gooloo instead - a total waste of money. I think the difference is the quality of the charge regulation, the Gooloo just overcharges itself and dies.

However the first videos were excellent in their own way. you don't sell out to sponsors, you make %100 unbiased and scientific videos. Not to mention, you read and respond to nearly %100 of your viewers who comment and note their suggestions to help make the videos even better. This my friend is what KZbin was made for. The dedication and time you take out of your day to upload informational content for people you've never met is quite astonishing. I and all of your viewers respect you for what you do and the time that you sacrifice for us. I would say that i wish that more youtubers were like you, but i know that it wouldn't ever happen.

I accidentally left one of my wife's car doors cracked open last week and she was late to work. I made it up to her by buying her a Gooloo 2000 at your recommendation. She had further battery issues and we had to use it twice before I got a chance to buy her a replacement battery. The Gooloo started the car as quickly as a new battery would while being way easier than jumper cables. Very impressive! Thank you!

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheRhythmDoctor]

Very thorough reviews. Great job! One additional thing that I would love for you to test is to fully charge all of them and put them away for 1-3 months, then see how they work without topping off. This would simulate a very important use case for those who throw them in the trunk and expect them to work at an unexpected time. Some models (like the early Tacklife models) have a mechanical on-off switch that physically disconnects the batteries during storage. In theory, this might reduce the rate of discharge vs. an electronic pushbutton (which always bleeds off a little juice even when turned off). All batteries have some level of self-discharge, so it's a question of whether the physical on-off button makes a significant difference, or is it negligible.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the video idea.

You could also test a diesel pickup with a cold engine. it would require some pre-heat then start up.

[@davidsilvey435]

I do the 3 month thing with my Shumacher Lithium Ion pack now. Have for 3-4 years. 3 months is no issue for a good unit. 6 months really either, stored in my trunk or floorboard. Start your rig/car/truck and and as soon as you are up and running you just recharge your battery pack for next time. I doubt 3-6 months storage for the GooLoo will be any harder than on my current 4 yr old Shumacher. Probably easier with new technology. I paid $80 for my Shumaker, 4 years ago, so about same price re: current vs old dollars. Gotta trust Project Farm. Better testing than I could ever do.

My buddy and I both bought the Gooloo 4000A based on your review and we BOTH had an opportunity to use them within a couple months of buying them. He helped a coworker whose battery died in their parking lot (and caused that person to go buy another Gooloo). My car didn't completely shut off one day in the parking ramp (that's a "thing" now with some push button start vehicles, it seems) and drained the battery. Getting another vehicle in there to jump start would have been really challenging as the ramp was packed and busy that day. I whipped out my Gooloo, attached it to the terminals and my car started like I'd just installed a brand new battery! And it still had all 4 bars of charge! I was really singing your praises that day. When my car jumped to life using that little thing I was so impressed and happy. Thanks for all you do!

I have a Gooloo GP4000, I’ve not had to use it for a dead car battery. I’ve used it with success on my ATV before though, and also flashed a generator with it to help it produce power again. Love it. And as of 2024, you can find Walmart selling them for $79 or Amazon selling them for $99 pretty regularly, much cheaper than MSRP shown here

I have to thank you. I purchased a Gooloo 4000a based on your review/test. I had a Harbor Freight jump box/compressor gifted to me and used it once and a while and it always struggled to jump my Chevy Silverado 6.0L. Recently it stopped being able to jump it at all so I got the 4000a and HOLY CRAP, yesterday that 6.0 cranked harder than ever, better than a new battery.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you very much! I'm very impressed with it too

[@wingerrrrrrrrr]

I'd be curious what voltage these lithium packs out out when fully charged, and how much voltage a car's electronic system can tolerate before damage. New cars with sensitive electronics might not tolerate overly high voltages that well.

[@solhays]

@@wingerrrrrrrrr Probably no more than 14volts, it's the amps that start the car, for the most part. At 7:07 the Gooloo 4000 says that it's 15v/10A, 12volt car jump start. So I'm not 100% sure, but I'd image 12v during a jump.

[@wingerrrrrrrrr]

@@solhays for sure it'll drop during actual cranking, but it may be high when you first switch on the ignition. Think it may be 15V or more, maybe just measure it with a DMM after you take it off charge.

[@solhays]

@@wingerrrrrrrrr I wouldn't be surprised if it were 15 or so, I imagine they'd get into a lot of trouble selling jump boxes that destroy car's electrical systems. But I certainly don't know and hope to not find out.

I bought the Gooloo for my new-to-me 10 year old used minivan after watching your video -- didn't think I'd need it so quickly as my battery was only 3 years old, but yesterday went to take the family out in the morning and oops, vans power slider just beeping at me trying close, and then no crank on the engine... the jump pack got me started in literally 30 seconds.

[@monkeymanstones1]

I was most impressed with the cranking ability of the Tacklife unit. Turned over the diesel tractor as well as the other vehicle both with a very strong spin. Perhaps it's time to give up my other 2 Chinesium "PCT Brands - CHARGEIT Jump Deluxe Total Emergency Kit" (the only thing "Emergency" about them was the flashlight providing a 3 dot [short], 3 dash [long], 3 dot [short] SOS flash with the flashlight, as both of the air pumps for tires failed on the very first use, so not even a low tire Emergency is covered by them). But they have started a Chevy diesel V8, then a 427 69 Stingray, then a Subaru Outback XT Limited (so with the WRX STi turbocharged engine) before having to be recharged. But the turning power of that Tacklife was darn impressive!

[@dlcarburetor]

This was a cool test. Somewhat dissapointing to see all the manufacturers fall short of their ratings. I've been using a Noco GB150 for years. At the time it was their biggest and newest jump starter. Comes with a nice case and has added features I found very useful as a mechanic. Never came across a vehicle I couldn't start. That largest was a dual battery F350 diesel. I'd definitely be interested in a round 3 test of the newest starters. Manufacturers will continue to come up with new items with outlandish claims for you to test. Thanks Todd @Project Farm

[@EKUL34]

Thank you for doing these reviews, one thing I'd love to see in this one, (though it might be a little work on your part) is a measurement of the RPM logged over time when you are cranking these engines. You could then overlay the data in a graph displaying RPM vs Time, so we could easily see which cranked the fastest vs which cranked the longest. A metric that I think would be very nice to see is which had the largest area under the curve. This would provide a nice display of total amount energy put into cranking, we might find out the winner wasn't the fastest or the longest but a good balance of both. I am an electrical/software engineer myself and happy to offer my help free of charge if you'd ever like it to improve these videos even more. I think you are doing an absolutely fantastic job though and thank you for doing it

[@davidreddick3016]

@@lipsee100 even conscious manufacturers have to have an acceptable AQL rate, for most companies this acceptable failure rate is somewhere around 2.5%. Sure you can drive this number lower with in house manufacturering, stricter quality controls, and longer testing of every product before it's shipped out but it's a balancing trick which if done wrong will drive up the price outside your intended purchaser market. The bigger indicator of if a product has a major defect is if there are many reviews of failures and there are some reviews of failures of these jumpers but the reviews are vastly outnumbered by the positive reviews.

The Gooloo is pretty good I have one little different design but it can jump start like any vehicle with only like 20% battery life left it’s amazing how well it works. I’ve used it on many vehicles and it works even on the biggest diesel truck I’ve tested as well.

[@ridermak4111]

Items that are intended for vehicle recovery are rated, and will have a large tag permanently attached with the rating numbers. Commercial/industrial rigging gear will have a WLL rating (working load limit) number of lbs. which will be 20% or a bit less of the tensile/breaking strength. Many recovery items for us average citizens only have the much higher tensile/break strength rating on the tag. Failure testing has already been done for us. If, however, you would like a comparison of all the other performance factors/ease of use, there are hundreds of videos by people who use this gear very often, and have much experience with most of the different types. For one guy to generate the real world information you need would take a long time to accomplish, and probably damage a few vehicles during the testing. And be expensive. Lots of people are injured (a few killed) by improper use of recovery gear. Please research the safe ways and the danger factors. Oh, and if a piece of gear doesn’t have a rating, it’s not intended for recovery. Do not use.
