So who in hell would give this video a thumbs down?? Used out NOCO today to start a motorhome. Ten cylinder, well below freezing for days-- started right up. Amazing device. Good video.

[@Amopower]

I bought this about the same time you introduced me to it 2 years ago. This thing is great. My 2001 5.3L Tahoe wouldn't start one day, and this started it right away, that's nice but this is the better part - I was needing to go to 5 appointments that day without any breaks to be able to replace the battery. Since the battery was not holding a charge even after driving, I then had to use the NOCO *five* more times that day in order to restart the truck , without recharging it. No problem at all, unbelievable.

[@stevenyau2443]

i own a gb40 which is smaller than this model i've used it to start a 3L diesel which ran out of fuel had to crank and pump more than 20 times to get it to start it held for about 15 long cranks before it ran out so the larger one won't be a problem starting engines many times

[@Amopower]

steven yau yes I got the GB70 which was $200. I figured I would spend the extra hundred for twice the amps, just to have something that would never let me down

[@nightmaremike1092]

That was you’re altanator for sure scott

[@patrickbirmingham2560]

@@nightmaremike1092 No it was not his alternator. If it was his alternator, the vehicle wouldnt run at all.

[@AllAmericanGuy01]

Thanks for the update. I purchased 3 of these-one for myself and two for family members in my household. So far I've used it twice on a truck similar to yours and it started it up with no effort on both occassions. This is a definite must-have for anyone who drives.

[@AstonSubstantive]

Two years later- Nice! Thanks for taking the time to make this quick follow-up.

[@rhkips]

I love Beau's enthusiasm and curiosity! Keep it up, dude! :D

[@jeffhesse8415]

Great job Beau! Excellent question too on hooking up the cables. My wife just see someone catch a car on fire because they hooked up the jumper cables backwards. Nice job Paul! Experiences like last a lifetime with our children.

[@rawproduction3790]

I just purchased one can’t wait to use it… I like how you was directing your camera man. He really loves his dad… even asking questions that someone else might be thinking about… Awesome❤

[@WeekendWarrior604]

Short and sweet review! Thanks! I got about 45 mins left to decide for Amazon Prime days and I think this just made me pull the trigger 👍

[@cac7865]

I'm glad the kid asked the question regarding where to clip the cables as that was the most important part of the demo - not the father's face!

[@lithgowlights859]

Considering they still sell the GB70, I'd say it's a winner. I just bought one today, and am giving my smaller Projecta brand jump start unit to my wife for her car.

[@ScannerDanner]

I think I got 4 years out of mine and I always left it in my truck so it would see single digit temps up to maybe 120+ in the summer with the windows up?

[@theadventuresofjavier8698]

Good morning Paul. Always happy to hear the notification and see a scanner danner vid. Makes my day.

[@shoujiki999]

Great video dude! Beau you did a fantastic job with the camera! I can see your dad using you all the time now! You had good focus on the subject of the video and weren't shaking it around so it was easy to watch. Here in Aus, I haven't seen that Noco, but I would definitely love that for those times you need a quick jump. Top stuff SD team!

[@ScannerDanner]

I know you guys want a case study video too for this week. I'll be uploading one later today or tomorrow on a Dodge Durango with a A/C problem. One that is NOT a leak! My son Beau (11) was really excited to be camera man and wanted this uploaded weeks ago! Give Beau some love okay? He will be reading your comments. (well, not really, he is dyslexic) I'll be reading him your comments.

[@MrBlazenBruce]

Great Job Beau !, Keep Asking questions and following direction You Did Great Bud !, I've seen good reviews and read good things about the NOCO branded jump packs and I think I'll be in the market for one of this caliber, Appreciate the videos and sorry to see the paid episodes are going away, Really cuts into being able to run and support the channel when you loose that kinda funding, Keep up the great work 3+ year Tech at a corporate chain store and the Diagnostic starting points really come in handy- Real techs will understand what I mean , Have a good one Paul !.

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Kudos two2 the camera man. I have some cixelsyd traits sometimes too. Sometimes the dog is facing east and sometimes west, so is it a b or a d. Repetition was key four4 me and we also have so many rules in the English language. If you have more than one ox, you have a couple of oxen but it you have more than one box it is not a couple of boxen it's a couple of boxes. Also I am a sight learner, I do better when I see something verses hearing it and then I take notes and reinforce what I learn. Great video Danner family.

[@MadMattz76]

Nice job Beau! Nice involving your son in your work SD. Thanks for the review, I have been wanting one of these.

[@KiterTMK]

Hi Dan, very short question! Is this a normal MAF reading, or is my car not starting because the reading is completely out of whack? Logically, should be 3g/s as car idles on 5g/s. Max RPM max WOT is 170 instead of 220, misfires consistently, steady highway speeds and throttle reads every 200ms anything between 60 and 75g/s. i.redditmedia.com/Yr6rXbkPpSjEuZYahCI_9MmLZXmKF6rTyhESi8CltjQ.png?w=1024&s=39b44f6e37d11f393fcd03ebe2e81f9a

Beau FTW! Great job.

[@ReneC77]

Got a good little partner there! I’m sold! I’ll be returning my GB40 for the GB70 in the morning.

[@stigonutube]

Good to see the GB70 is still working after 2years, geez time flew by as i remember that review.Hey Beau good helping there young lad..

[@BoopSnoot]

I bought two, one for mine and one for the wife's car. They both started to swell and balloon the bottom black chassis around the 2.5 year mark. Warranty on both is only 12 months. I learned that generally speaking lithium batteries don't like being stored at 100% capacity for long period of time, and on average will fail after 2-3 years even if never used.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Cameraman Beau! Cool to see this become a family enterprise. He did great on his first vid! :) A couple years ago I picked up a couple Rockford Pocket Power 2.0 units for my wife and I. Been amazed by them. Fired up a stone dead .7v battery in a older Volvo 940 wagon, and got my neighbor's dead plow truck running with it. Barely bigger than a couple iPhones too! Pretty neat. Sure beats the old 20 lb. jump packs. I keep one in each vehicle now.

[@dominicfong6341]

Many thanks for the follow up review gentlemen!

[@baxrok2.]

Well done Beau! You did a great job of helping your Dad make this video and it came out great. Was hoping to get a shot of Mrs. ScannerDanner. lol Maybe next time her car won't start she'll sneak in the frame! lol Thanks Paul!

[@jamesl197999]

Great job Beau. Looking forward to more.

[@healthjay4253]

This is a must have, more people should know about this. Great review man!

[@lpg12338]

Great job to you both on the video! 👍

[@lafester]

Thanks for the update! Nice to see the battery hasn't died or exploded in 2 years. Yeah the GB40 could start this engine but if it didn't start right away there simply is not enough reserve for multiple tries. For true diagnostic reserve capacity you need the GB150. I bet noco would send you one to compare...

[@ozzstars_cars]

Shocking results Mr. Danner and son! haha

[@ScannerDanner]

lol

[@jjsroofing860]

Nice to know. Just bought one. Thanks for the video.

[@richvolkjrful]

God bless you and your son. Keep teaching him. Excellent father. :)

[@volvo09]

When I started learning about electricity it was when I found some jeweled indicator lights in my dad's repair briefcase and wanted to hook them up, he taught me about electricity flow and we hooked them up. I later burned my fingers shorting out a battery and burning up a wire, but I kept at it, haha

[@jimbuford4147]

I was disappointed you didn't show Beau. Next to my grandsons (not biased), he is the cutest or handsomest little boy around.

[@rutkowsky1000]

bought this model yesterday noco gp70 best one out there if CAA uses it that speaks for its self

[@spelunkerd]

This kind of long followup is essential for any proper review. It's nice to see it held a charge! I get so frustrated with battery operated devices, too many of them end up in the land fill because replacement batteries are more expensive than buying a whole new unit. New lithium batteries seem to be better than what we had in the past.

[@ScannerDanner]

agree, I never really liked my first one on this and haven't done any product reviews since, other than my Snap-on ratchets. This follow up helps.

[@edgarsansons2404]

Nice communication with son :)

[@libertyninja]

I own the gb70 it's a great product

[@mickj52]

Great product, but there are two things in which it can be improved: the cables could be a bit longer, and the L.E.D. light is at the opposite end from the working end, meaning at night you are struggling to get good light to the battery connections!

[@EricCanadaMan]

Yep, good call on the light placement. The longer cables would be appreciated by Volkswagen folk.

[@Panhead49EL]

Thumbs up for Beau.

[@pollydor07]

[@rrmech11]

Hi my brother Gonna buy one Paul

[@drewbush6535]

I just bought one today. I'm trying to figure out what made the battery go dead. 3 different days in the morning and car jump start wouldn't work. Got new battery so far so good but I did unhook my 2nd battery for my 2 amps.. trying to troubleshoot why...

[@johnnywalker5635]

Thank you for your video. I think it was done well. You showed us two failed starts. Then the jump. I don’t doubt this battery is good. But like a Smartphone lithium battery or a laptop lithium battery, I’m concerned this NOCO jumper will be useless after, say, 4 years. Then what do we do? It’s like burning $200 in cash after 4 years of it sitting around. Maybe you use it w couple times in 4 years or none at all. Would be nice if the internal battery could be replaced.

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Hey Beau! Way to go, dude. Excellent camera work and good questions for pops there. Paul - what was that air hammer sound after the truck failed to start?? Keep smiling. You da man

[@paultomasetti5164]

Mario Dalla Riva - that sound was solenoid clicking. When the voltage is so low from a drained battery it can't keep the solenoid engaged. It releases as the voltage tanks then reengages rapidly making the clicking sound. But, don't just assume your battery is dead. A bad ground or corroded cable will reduce the juice to the starter causing the same sound. A jump or boost can overcome those conditions and start,causing you to ass-ume its just a bad battery.

[@ScannerDanner]

^^^^^what he said

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Thanks Paul & Paul 👍🏻

How long would it take to recharge after that one jump?

[@polaris700efitwin]

To the point excellent

[@ScannerDanner]

check the year on this upload to determine life expectancy. This NOCO is now dead. I'd say the beginning of 2021 it was pretty much done. You could get maybe one quick jump from it before it was dead. Just some additional information for you guys.

[@polaris700efitwin]

@@ScannerDanner call them and see If they honor the warranty..and let us know what they did...mention your review on KZbin to them to help the situation.

[@ScannerDanner]

@@polaris700efitwin 3-4 years isn't bad I guess, especially when i always left it in my truck (extreme heat and cold) Thanks!

[@polaris700efitwin]

@@ScannerDanner the older booster packs if you don't leave them charging full time they die within a year. With lithium charge it then unplug right away then maintain once a month top off if need be . Extreme heat or cold kills any battery that why some manufacturers put the battery under seat far from engine bay heat etc but then that's another story lol

[@sriavula]

Can I use this on cars with a 2.0 or 3.0 liter

[@michaelbennett8847]

Do you leave yours in the house or in a vehicle? I ask because I wonder how long these would last in a vehicle over the course of a cold winter and hot summer. Lithium type batteries do not like weather extremes, especially heat.

[@ScannerDanner]

It's been in my truck the entire time. So it has done well with both hot and cold. Thanks!

[@roadkill5333]

Ohhhh, you didn't give any details!! Have you used it much?? Was it sitting in an unused/uncharged condition, all this time!! Was there any attempt to charge it, before this jump? These little jump packs look like Da Bomb!! Small, powerful, circuit protected, and most of all easy to use!!

How do you get a good product when we all get garbage I've got a Canadian Tire brands it looks exactly like the noko I bought it because I have a pt cruiser with a glitch sometimes it charges and sometimes it doesn't no rime or reason and since I don't have a mechanic I can trust I carry a booster pack with me at all times and cables my booster pack was great I thought the first time out I did 6 stops on my trip and it boosted it every time when I got home I recharged it up and the next time out the car started each time without a booste but my phone was dieing so I hooked it up to the booster pack and it charged it to 38 % and died so when I got home I charged it up again the next trip to town and the car did its thing again this time it only boosted it 5 times and each time I used it it did less and less boostes before it died until now it won't even booste it once so it's a very expensive flash light and it will still charge my phone to 38% I've got a phone charger that'll do that for 20 $ not as much light but it'll charge the phone to over 80 % so I went back to the old style booster packs and now I know why they die I might by properly charging it make it last a few years

Mine just died. After two yrs done. Only holds 5v, never been left in the cold, regularly used it and recharged it. Noco won't do anything. Observation, when boosting a vehicle I thought the negative cable should go to the vehicle frame and not the dead battery to avoid battery explosions.
