I got the NOCO BOOST GB40 Battery Jump Starter | Will It Work?

[@Vernonu9]

Bought one last yr.....When I picked up my kid from school today, I saw a large white van with the hood up. After asking him if it was his battery, I jumped out and grabbed my GB40. He wondered what it was, so I explained it was a lithium powered jump-starter. It started his van up immediately. The look of relief on his face made my day, and my kid was happy we helped.

Last winter, living in my car here in Canada. It was -42 degrees Celsius and both my batteries froze solid. I feared for my safety for the first time. I could not move my hands and had nowhere to get warm. Finally got ahold of my boss ( does not know I live in my car ) he drove down and rescued me. 😊 He jumped started my car with that exact booster. I now own one as winter is on its way. Great item can also charge devices

[@brenpgrace]

Yeah, Canada is no joke with the subzero temperatures. I’m glad I have this on board for peace of mind.

[@jatinrathore8633]

I live in Canada too , you should also make videos dude

[@shellygurl123]

I had to use mine for the first time yesterday. This thing works. Get one!!!

[@DLittlejon]

I just bought that exact same jump starter about a month ago. Haven't had to use it yet, but she's charged and ready. I chose that one because it has a bypass button, so that if your battery is deader than dead, like left the lights on for 3 days, the Noco claims it can still start it. Other jump starters won't work if the car battery is below a certain percentage of charge. Like, it has to have about 5% charge to be able to jump start. My battery kept dying because the hands-free phone dealybob wouldn't really hang up. Had to delete devices and re-pair my phone.

[@thanhd4611]

Love it. I have something similiar and didn't think I need till I did...but lifesaver! Keep up the great work and video brother!

[@brenpgrace]

Thanks! Will do!

[@brianamayo2234]

Thanks for this video! just bought one of these and trying to see how to use it without doing all that pesky reading. btw you are the calmest person I've ever seen with a car that won't start😅

[@brenpgrace]

I was much calmer when I knew I had the back up trust me! It’s worth every penny to have on hand.

[@phanindra2008]

Get the CAT one

[@numbaWONhater]

thanks for showing you disconnecting it afterwards. the only realistic review ive seen THANK GODDDDD

[@brenpgrace]

No problem!!

[@elizabethveverka5738]

You will never be searching for someone to give you a jump start again. I love mine! Always remember: Negative/Black goes on first and is taken off last!

[@tonymu2976]

Bought a GB40 recently to start 2.4L Camry with weak battery. It started right away. I keep the jump starter in my car for future use.

[@jimhantsch]

Also recommend their battery charger NOCO Genius 10. A must if you're looking for the best!

[@Drkbadger7719]

I do uber as well. My car battery is shot. Can’t afford a 200$ one right now. So I bought this on sale today for 73$ and I have to use it EVERYTIME I turn my car off. But this thing is awesome.

[@memeguyTM]

Something companies like Jackery, Ecoflow etc should consider in their units. I wonder if there is a way...

[@chucktrow8577]

Thats a great deal for peace of mind and looked really easy to use. No waiting around for the aaa which can take a long time for them to show up to service. Thanks for sharing Bren, glad they got you moved upto today for battery replacement!!

[@davidherringgo]

Great video. I just bought 1 more for my motorcycle. I have the same G 40 . For the bike NOCO says to use G 20 . Never be without this in the car or bike again .

[@Hemond1]

Wow, amazing that little thing can start a car.

[@Chunky246]

Nice! Love that it's super compact. I guess you got to remember to keep it topped up with charge also.

[@brenpgrace]

Yes indeed! And I will. It also works well with my jackery. Learning as i go lol

[@simonpenzer9969]

Bought one month ago easy to use and will get you moving again highly recommend.

[@chief9938]

Good review, expect the push buttons for the lights & on/off switch to fail, common problem. They must use poor quality button switches, I repaired mine with good quality ones, straight forward job but you’ll need triangle security bits to remove the screws.

[@chaz2x2]

Also .. you can get one with the combination battery jumpstart and air tire pressure.. I got one for my travel trailer works great 👊🏽

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

bought one 3 months ago watching your video and yep such a good buy

[@normamccafferty3053]

So smart of you to have bought that gizmo! Kiss your brain! :) I’m glad you have it. Also hope dealership visit goes well. 🤞 ❤ Good luck!

[@brenpgrace]

Ha! Kiss your brain 😆 after a little demanding, they replaced my battery for me, no cost! We’re good!

[@normamccafferty3053]

@@brenpgrace Excellent! So glad!

[@Galaxion.]

I normally just buy a used battery for 50 bucks and your good for 2-3 years..Battery Booster pack is always a good thing to have tho !

[@zoner__]

Noco makes great stuff. Did they test your battery?

[@gonzaloalvarado221]

Is there a particular order you should start, Positive 1st and then ground ?

[@kwqd54]

It no longer ships with a charging cable or cigarette lighter adapter. The vendor calls this an "upgrade". That being said, the user manual still says to "Charge the product using the included charging cable.", so the upgrade is really just lowering their costs by eliminating parts of the original product. I could not find anything in the included manual that gives the NOCO part number for the charging adapter, cable, cigarette lighter adapter, etc. The user manual also warns against using charging options not included with the pack, so probably giving themselves cover to deny their warranty if it breaks. There are also now (December 2024) many recent reviews on Amazon which complain the the pack will not hold a charge.

[@nickhayley]

Hey Bren, as soon as ypu get the car started, I'd be charging the NOCO back up from the 9v cig charger in the car. Im not sure how many jumps it will give you before the jump battery dies too.

[@brenpgrace]

Solid idea! I’d say I get no more than three per charge. I also have my jackery on standby, it can plug into that too.

[@mysteryreader1]

Glad it worked.

[@brenpgrace]

Me too!

[@kellymac76]

I see the max. temp to store the booster is 120 degrees. I live in Fl. Any concerns on where you live and the hot summers?

[@brenpgrace]

No concerns.

[@user-auntnellie]

Those things are awesome!

[@GigLife]

dude I have one of those lol. VERY POWERFUL

[@Tejaye777]

Would it work???? If you select one with enough amperage for your car.

[@catfisher420]

I have the same one and it lost a lot of cranking power within the first year. It has problems even starting small 4 cylinders now. At first it would do V8's just fine.

[@brenpgrace]

Aw that stinks!

[@saxman7131]

I have a Dewalt jump box/copressor. It’s pretty big compared to that.

[@Emer205]

Orange band! 👏👏👏

[@brenpgrace]

Its actually green now! 90+

[@Ziffel22]

Did you ever find out what kept draining your car battery?

[@brenpgrace]

It was the wrong size battery. I got a new one under warranty tho.

[@Bfblair]

Hi. You somehow became my KZbin hole tonight. Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re doing alright, perfectly fine if you aren’t.

[@ex8280]

I'm confused, instead of getting a new battery from autozone, you got a jumper instead?

[@ex8280]

BTW, don't put too much stuff with the NOCO, it could accidently turn it on, and when you need it, it won't have any juice left to jump your vehicle.

[@brenpgrace]

@@ex8280 good point

[@brenpgrace]

I got a free battery from the dealership because it was under warranty. Plus it’s just good to have a jumper.

[@ex8280]

@@brenpgrace ahhh...that make sense.

[@kristiina-f9h]

Have you needed to use this cool gadget again or nah? Hopefully you haven't needed it since you got your new battery way back when. 😊

[@roadkingrider6532]

Was it your alternator?

[@brenpgrace]

No. Battery

Can i leave this in the car safely?

I do! Under the driver seat
