I've had mine for about 6 months now. Used it twice not for myself but the people I was helping thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. where it really shines is in a crowded parking lot where someone left their lights on, the battery is dead, and they are blocked in by other parked cars and standard jumper cables is not an option. I love this guy. I own it because I stopped for gas and when I tried to start my truck, Nothing, my battery was dead, but someone helped me out with a noco GB40. If you never have to use it for yourself, it sure feels good to help others, especially when it's a stranded mom with little ones. I highly recommend the noco GB40 for light trucks and cars. It works great

wow wow wow this video has saved my life i bought this thing over a year ago & has come in handy quite a bit but there have been times where the battery is so dead it doesnt read a signal & i dont know what to do ive asked many people to help boost me so now learning of the over ride feature is sooooooo amazing because now i never have to worry if my car is completely drained then i can just put that little feature on the device in over ride & there you have it my car will start just incredible i wish i knew this a year ago lol this video is simply amazing thank you so much :)

[@marcavargas1681]

Man, this is the best review I've seen on this product so far. Thank you for explaining that the vehicles were not connected to the batter. This make me a believer, and I'm purchasing this product for my family and myself.

[@kenrik2105]

I bought my NOCO GB40 about 6 months ago. Charged it up and put it away in garage. Had to use it yesterday when car battery died. It was still fully charged. At first, car didn’t start, even with Override. Then I realized the jump lead cable weren’t inserted far enough into charger. Started right up.

[@kevd99]

I got the GB40 for Christmas 18 charged it up put in in the back and six months later my co worker who drives a big Dodge Ram diesel truck was dead I hooked the GP40 to it and that diesel and it didn’t grunt fired right up

Thank you. I had checked this item out quite thoroughly but your video was the deciding factor. I ordered the jump starter.

I just purchased two NOCO boost plus 12v 1000A.its just peace of mind. I always buy good vehicle batteries but I also drive elderly parents often and don't want to get stuck in the cold

[@USCBeastmode]

I can positively endorse this battery pack 100%. I work at Disneyland resort and we use this same battery pack on thousands of cars each year and they start every car we hook them up too, except electric cars. For electric cars, you need AAA to help you out there. They are good for about 20 charges but you can always check the life of the battery pack. It's a great little lifesaver if you're on the run because it takes no time at all too hook it up and start your car in under a min...Friendly user easy... They also stay charged for a while, I bought one for all four of my daughters and wife and they have all used it with consistent success.

[@jelly8594]

Thanks for the insight! You used the GB40?

[@tinsu629]

I got one 3 years ago. Still working great. As a matter of fact, my car battery finally died today after 7 years of use and boost it with 1 try and got my car started. I've used this to boost my car 3 times and another 5 times for friends, family, and co-worker. After 7 years, I've decided to change my car battery today.

This jump-started my 2016 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 L gas Hemi engine just fine. It actually did it three times before I had to recharge it. I purchased a brand new Interstate Battery three months ago but it ended up having a bad cell.

[@johnnywishbone932]

I use mine for charging devices while on the trail. I liked it so much I bought a second one. I have used it countless time with mowers and and phone charging. It’s a must have. Phone, Zoleo and piece of mind having seamless two way communication everywhere I go with a guarantee to have enough power. I also used the strobe light at a bad car accident on a east coast Canada highway. I used the strobe to alert traffic until the police showed up. Then I bailed…. No sense being in danger longer than you have too. The cops were impressed with the unit and the light. I love mine like I said I own two.

Great video-Thanks! RE: Charging my NOCO GB40 battery. Battery charging indicators were NOT lighting up with the mini USB plugged in. I thought I was missing a charging mode button or if I needed to turn the power on to charge? I worked my way down the line...switched out the USB plug base to my white Apple plug...still no joy. Next, it had to be the 3 plug power strip...but it was already powering my computer and a fan, so after trying one of the other plugs it made positive contact and the charging lights came on. Went back to the original 3rd plug [wiggled it around a bit] and it continued to charge. The USB base must not have been making good contact inside the power strip plug but with some persistence I got it to work.

[@dc5723]

I have the GB70 and love it. The only thing I hate is charging the pack. They don't have a charging wall wort but either plug it into a cigarette lighter or use the USB plug which will take 8+ hours. I use a 12VDC power supply with a cigarette lighter outlet which takes about 3 hours.

[@TheSnapOnToolReview]

+RareDiamond Ching yeah that is a drawback but on the other hand you should be able to just charge it and throw it into your car or toolbox and be able to jump a number of cars with it before it's next charge.

[@vacalepic6768]

EXACTLY! Why people moan about charging time? This is a portable jump starter, it is supposed to SAVE you from occasional dead battery. If people really so concerned about not having enough charged battery, then EITHER forcing themselves to remember (free) OR buy another ANKER type battery for backup (not free). There are choices! It is NOT a deal breaker drawback!

[@martincstee5335]

I have a Winplus bought from Costco. When my car battery is completely dead, I can't open the door with remote and disarm the alarm. As soon as I connect the Winplus to my dead car battery, the car alarm goes off and Winplus will get cutoff, presumably as a safety circuitry design feature, rendering Winplus useless. Have you ever encountered this with NOCO GB40?

Great review it’s nice to see someone actually knows how to use it I’ve seen other reviewer‘s slam this product because they could not jumpstart their vehicles almost all of them didn’t even know about the override switch. I to own the GB 40 as a sidenote I was able to jumpstart a fully dead battery on a diesel pickup

[@deepb249]

Can you explain what this override feature is and when to use it and how to use it? He says he disconnected the car battery from car which I do not understand?

[@dannyaspiras7810]

@@deepb249 He disconnected the battery from his Truck to prove that the GB 40 can start a vehicle without a battery. If you have a very dead battery the GB 40 will not detect that it is hooked up to a battery. So that’s when you use the override switch which is the red button you need to hold that down until the LEDs start chasing back-and-forth. This now sends a direct current to your battery and you should wait at least 30 seconds or longer for your battery to absorb this current. And now you should be able to start your car. Hope this explanation helps. For more detailed instructions on how to use the GB 40 NOCO has a KZbin Channel with how to use their products check it out very informative.
