Noco Genius Boost GB70 Review (2000A)

[@ThriftyGarage]

GB40 (For Cars): amzn.to/2YZPyLo GB70 (As Shown): amzn.to/33r5J88

[@blessedinpark]

FYI the manual override button is used if the battery you are attempting to charge, is less than 2 volts. But just remember, the override button disables the safety devices on the booster.

[@vincebelmonte7710]

Bought same one 4 yrs ago got me out of trouble many times cars, atv lawn mowers pick ups also farmers tractors only once it didn't start my tractor were the battery was really old Yes i do recommend this product,

[@MaioFourpaws]

So I bought this because this is exactly the make/model the CAA guy showed up with to boost my SUV. (CAA is the Canadian version of AAA in USA). I wanted to laugh when he pulled this tiny thing out, but it worked!! And my battery was 90% dead. I had every expectation this was gonna fail. After I had to ask questions. CAA guy said I needed at least the 1500A model for a standard small to mid SUV (though he had the 2000A /GB70 as seen in this video). I asked if he could boost a RAM 1500 with the GB70/2000A he had and he said “yeah, no problem do it every day. 2000A yeah, 1500A no on a truck”. I got mine (GB70 2000A) at Canadian Tire (in-store special + 1 Yr exchange warranty), though Amazon Canada has them too. I haven’t tried it yet, just sharing what I know. Great vid, thanks.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Thanks for sharing! Technology has improved tremendously in the past few years. These are definitely a great emergency tool to have. We have one in every vehicle.

[@CMEDIRTWORK]

How's the NOCO GB70 holding up 4 years later?

[@ThriftyGarage]

I’m very pleased with it. I have the Noco and several other off brands. They all seem to work. Some better than others, but the Noco seems more durable and built to last. It’s really hard to compare actual performance.

[@rrtdave]

There is a hard case available, with pockets for accessories. Charge it fully the first time. It works on my Ford Explorer battery. Well done on information!

[@ThriftyGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@billberendsen9258]

Can it be stored in a vehicle sitting in the summer sun?

[@ThriftyGarage]

Yes, I would recommend recharging occasionally.

[@danmcclung861]

I want to know, once its fully charged, how long willit keep that charge while it sits in my freezing truck all winter? Will it stay charged for a week? A month? All winter?

[@nauy]

I stored it in the trunk of my car for over a year. After using it one time to jump my dad’s car it still has 3 of the 4 lights lit or 75% full. My car is garaged most of the time. If you leave your car outside in the winter then it’d better to keep it inside and only take with you when you use your car. One thing to be aware of is that the power button and the light button are on top of the battery. Make sure nothing is resting on the battery or it or the light gets accidentally turned on and drains the battery. Better to keep it in the original box or get a hard case.

[@ThriftyGarage]

I would recommend checking the battery life on a monthly basis. You will probably want to recharge every 3-6 months.

[@MySledgeHammer]

How can anyone make a review about something they haven’t even tested to show it actually works??

[@peteg337]

I bought one last week it’s still at the store for pickup so far I like it a lot .

[@jamesmcclure3907]

Does this actually charge the battery?

[@isaacschannel]

When my charger is fully charged I have the light display showing 3 red bars and 1 solid green lights shouldn’t it display 1 green only without the red bars

[@EliteBean1]

That means you got it on as he said in the vid, you can charge your phone/device you want, but for jumping you have to plug it up first then hit the power button

[@Dementedracing]

Nice video. I just bought one myself. Thankfully haven’t had to use it but bought it for emergency. Just wanted to point out in my user Manual the exclamation symbol you pointed as an error is actually an override feature and the error light is the one near the power button. At least that’s what I read from my user Manual.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Thanks for reading the instructions!

[@peterazpeitia4715]

What noco to get for a Chevrolet Colorado v6 please

[@sxduranable]

It's a shame the jumper cables are so short and only for 12V battery under the front. I'm not sure I could use this on a Prius but if anyone has please let me know. I know there's an adapter under the front hood that connects to the battery in the trunk but can I connect the negative to the body?

[@ThriftyGarage]

Yes, you can connect the negative to the body.

[@sriavula]

Can I use this on a less liter car or is it only for 8.0L/6.0L

[@ThriftyGarage]

Yes, smaller, just not bigger.

[@sriavula]

@@ThriftyGarage thank you!

[@justaguy4real]

4:05 what you mean "12v option"?? auto systems and batteries are 12v as is.

[@boncinema]

You can charge the unit from the car's 12V cigarette lighter.

[@عامرفهد-ن4ت]

Hello, a 12-volt bulb with a power of 50 watts works for how many hours on this device?

[@ThriftyGarage]

Let me just do some math.

[@garyhempleman9525]

I bought one several weeks ago and it will not hold its charge overnight. Got a replacement today and hope it works as designed.

[@ThriftyGarage]

That’s great they replaced it under warranty.

[@justaguy4real]

3:00 what happened, couldnt figure out how to actually use it to start the auto?? lol

[@ThriftyGarage]

Hook up the clamps. Push the power button. Then start the vehicle. Simple as that! These jump packs are smart so the battery does need to have some juice for them to "see" the battery. They also sense if you are hooked up backwards.

[@patrickhart7872]

Soooo…truck didn’t start?

[@ThriftyGarage]

Starter was dead. Once that was replaced it started fine. I've used the Noco jumper to start several vehicles since then.

[@5thBeatle]

@@ThriftyGarage Then you shouldn't have shown the video. You should have made a video of a successful jump start. Also, you unhooked both battery cables, so it wasn't going to start anyway, even with a good starter, so that's not a valid excuse.

[@hilariocea720]

One quick question, i bought this. They were some cheaper ones but i got the kinda most expensive. This means this is just for heavy equipment trucks and vehicles. Or can it also be used to any car/vehicle of any motor size/ engine? Thanks in advance

[@ThriftyGarage]

It will work with smaller 12v cars. But the little jumpers won’t turn over a larger engine. Going overkill isn’t a bad idea. You will jump a small car more times off one charge. Or if you don’t use it for a couple of years and deplete the battery it will probably still be able to jump your car. Whereas the smaller pack would fail you. Hope that makes since.

[@FelNoobs]

I love your review Especially when you tried to jump the battery

[@hollywoodsaint57]

Looks like it didn't work

[@christophertrott6815]

he connected it to the battery WITHOUT the terminals connected. THATS why it didn't work!

[@malvernwarmington4942]

Is the 12v USB outlet suitable to charge mobile phones? The wall adapter for my phone says 9v output.

[@jrtxboiy]

Yes

[@mikewright3029]

i have a toyota highlander... will this work or it has to be diesel?

[@ThriftyGarage]

It would work. Diesels require more cranking amps which require a larger jump starter. For your Highlander you could purchase a smaller jump starter to save on cost. But a larger jump starter would have more juice and be able to assist in starting more times between charging.

[@Alexige11]

A bit strange you cut the actual starting part....

[@ThriftyGarage]

It didn’t start. The actual problem was the starter went out. It was odd, in this case it went clean kaput; working one moment to dead the next. New starter fixed me right up. I’ve used this to jump start my 4Runner, a Bobcat T650 skid steer and several other vehicles.

[@Alexige11]

@@ThriftyGarage oh ok no worries. I ended up getting one for my girlfriend n it started her completely flat 2.5tdi defender perfectly .

[@christophertrott6815]

he connected it to the battery WITHOUT the truck's terminals connected. THATS why it didn't work!

[@chino151]

That flash light kills the battery on the Gb70 fast be careful 🤷

[@Jcestanley]

Been wanting to put one of these in my bass boat for a while.

[@ThriftyGarage]

They are pretty handy!

[@WeekendWarrior604]

So did it work with your truck?

[@ThriftyGarage]

Yes! This thing is a beast! I’ve used it to jump heavy duty diesel construction equipment such as skid steers and Mini Excavators as well as my truck and other vehicles.

[@WeekendWarrior604]

@@ThriftyGarage Perfect! I took advantage of the Prime Days deal and got it for CAD ~$179 +taxes! A 6.0L V8 shall be no problem for it at all then! I am also considering using the 12V output to power my electric blanket when winter camping haha! Cheers!

[@paint3ball]

@@WeekendWarrior604 it does up to 8L gas engines and 6L Diesel engines. Should be plenty for you.

[@5thBeatle]

@@ThriftyGarage Maybe it would have been better if you showed a video of you jumping the heavy duty diesel construction eqiupment instead of failing to jump start a car.

[@jrtxboiy]

I have a 40 which I bought for 75 and a 70 I just bought for 75 as well

[@gregmccomas3750]

Thank you for not being FOS and making a half hour video for something that takes 7 minutes to explain or review.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Thanks for the positive feedback!

[@JohnDoe-yn2cr]

Are you serious? I have to watch five and a half minutes only to find out that you didn't manage to test the only really relevant feature of this device - namely actually starting your truck? Thanks for the waste of time.

[@ThriftyGarage]

How you choose to spend your time is totally up to you. Perhaps you should spend more time finding the true identity of Jane.

[@5thBeatle]

@@ThriftyGarage Wrong answer, Putz.

[@ThriftyGarage]

Do you know where Jane Doe is?

[@AndyX1337]

Thanks for the review, I'm going to get me one as soon as possible, very handy.

[@patrickhart7872]

I swear this is an SNL skit, right? Reviewing a battery booster that doesn’t start the car? You actually posted this video???

[@ThriftyGarage]

Sorry, no skit here...

[@garychynne1377]

mine works great

[@edwardhill7045]

Well i did get a chance to test it and to me its the best jump box on the market .I have had others but this one has yet to fail to start any car or truck i have used it on . I AM IMPRESSED

[@ThriftyGarage]

I agree! It’s wonderful technology and much better than the heavy battery packs of yesteryear.

[@756766]

Vehicle never turned over!! Not a good video example.

[@ianwatson3315]

Because it was a faulty starter..he explained this above your post

[@5thBeatle]

I just bought one from Advance Auto

[@ThriftyGarage]

Nice!

[@BrianAdamson-lp3nu]

I got an idea, how about this...if you're going to do a product review, maybe actually use the product and post the video of yourself doing that. There's 6:51 of my life, wasted. Psyched for you that you chased down the problem with the starter on your truck though

[@756766]

"If it doesn't work blame them" ??!!

[@dmitrimaslv8429]

Very helpful thank you

[@maxb5346]

whats the red button (!)?

[@ThriftyGarage]

We don’t talk about the red button

[@victorforzani3433]

sound like you need another truck dude.

[@christopherrobinson8676]

So you decide to do a review video and don't even use it. Come on man. Just lazy. All you would have to do is leave the radio and lights on and drain the battery then you could've done an actual review. Step it up
