What do you think of this new jump pack? Worth the price?
Noco 155
Just purchased a GT3000. With all the specs e.g. safety features, 400 lumes and particularly 100W fast charger, it looks great.
Thanks for this great detailed video and some great tips!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching 😀👍🏼
Only one of the most trusted review channels, Project Farm!
I own the previous model and it functions as described by project farm. Highly recommend.
Project Farm, this could come in handy on the Gold Mine!
This is what I will have my kids carry. No more jumper cables and fully charged is good to still start a vehicle after 24 months.
Project farm. Good vid. I have been researching these lately.
Thank you, between this one and the Noco this is a much better deal and more options and better charge and discharge rates. Plus a nice info screen.
I saw Project pharm review and I'm getting one of these.
Project Farm, one of my favorites.
Project Farm - Good information on the unit. I would like to have the GooLoo GT4000. It would come in handy.
Project Farm, this will be a replacement for my diehard lead acid jumpstarter. looking forward to it.
These are great units for sure. Super impressed with mine.. and yes PF..👍🏼😀
You mentioned "Project Farm" at the 5 second mark of the video... Need this badly as my 2013 RDX now developed a parasitic draw that kill my battery off in about 3 days :(. Just last weekend I got stranded in MD restaurant parking lot because I forgot the one jumper I had (among three cars I own) in my wife's car. If I win, I don't have to buy a second unit :). I was researching on UA-cam for a jumper starter and stumbled onto your channel... great review. You got a new subscriber here :).
Thank you so much. Hopefully you find that draw 👍🏼
And good luck.. entered !! 😀👍🏼
Project Farm for the win! I’ve had a NOCO jumpstarter for a few years and it’s much better than the first brand I got that melted after it’s second use.
The noco is good as well but for the price the GooLoo is pretty competitive with more options.
Just got my Gooloo delivered today! - Project Farm for my second :)
😂👍🏼 that’s awesome.
Good luck 😁👍🏼
Project Farm. Thanks!
Project Farm I have the Hulkman Alpha 85 and love that unit.
Project Farm is the answer 🤞
Project farm! What a cool device would love to win it!
Project Farm, subscribed. Nice video man.
Thanks 👍🏼😀 and entered !!
Of course, Project Farm. He always says, “We’re going to test that “.
Darn right!!! 😂👍🏼
Project Farm... Cool stuff!
Love project farm..👍🏼😀
Very useful information, may God guide you and give you very useful information as well
😀👊🏼🙌🏼
This is awesome. I just got mine. I was stuck at a store needed a jump and no one would jump me I had the cables but no one all of sudden had time to give me a boost ,this my friend is perfect no more asking
These really are great. I don’t know how many times I have used mine now.
For my kids, friends and strangers and more it is awesome. And they are always amazed. Wow what is that thing?
And then immediately want to buy one after it starts the vehicle
Make sure to keep it charged. Work it into your monthly routine. If you don’t you may end up with a dead jump starter and a dead car.
@Prosecute-fauci I use mine at least once a month. Been using it since I got it. Well worth it!
Nice video, project farm.
Great video! Best video out there on the Gooloo GT3000 / GT4000. I was totally confused by the instructions provided with my GT3000 on how and when to use the boost button. Turns out that I needed to use boost mode because my car's battery was too drained. When I connected the GT3000 to my battery the ready light never came on. I hit the boost button just for the hell of it and the car came to life at that point. I was then able to start the car. I'm very happy with my GT3000. As this video says, this is much easier and safer than using jumper cables.
Thank you so much for the kinds words.
And thanks for the great comment on the unit. I was impressed by it as well as it seems like a great design.
Thanks again for the comment and thanks again for watching 👍🏼😀
Had a similar case yesterday with a dead battery. I couldn't get the Ready light to come on. Ended up pulling out the old Gooloo4000 I had, used boost mode and it worked first try.
Must not have done something right with the GT model
Awesome glad it worked ! I still use mine !
@@gunsite45 the GT model doesn't have the boost mode. I believe that and the LCD screen is worth the extra cost. My GP180 that I bought for like 70$ on amazon 5 years ago is still at it. Jump started a vehicle tonight that the jumper cables couldn't. Made me looked like a hero in the situation when those people needed help. Got the unit obviously before anybody knew how good they were.
@@LoveLikeaHurricane It feels great when you're able to help others with such units. Any idea why the jumper cables didn't work? I bet the person wanted to buy the same unit after that!
The last time I helped someone they had never seen a unit like it. My unit was a 5 year old RoyPow (no longer made). It has been sitting in the boot of my car for almost a year since it's last charge and started up the guys Mercedes in seconds. The heatwave killed the battery so Ive purchased a GOOLOO GT4000S.
Project Farm it is. 😊
I like the way you do these reviews, I went over and checked out Project Farms,,,
Thank you…👍🏼😀
Nice Review. Question: Does this GT4000 include digital voltmeter readout on the display? It would be nice to see what the battery reading is in volts prior to and after starting the engine. I didn't see it. does this jump pack include this feature?
Unfortunately it does not, but I agree it would be nice to see about where the voltage is to see how far it drained. I assume only a few of us really care about that. The majority just wanna start there car and go lol.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼😀
Project Farm. And that's is a nice jump start
👍🏼😀
Project farm. Could use this on my boat.
Project farm, I have these for my kids that travel.
These are great, not a bad item to have in and tool box or car.
Thanks for watching 😀👍🏼
These are great, not a bad item to have in and tool box or car.
Thanks for watching 😀👍🏼
I've had the Gooloo 1500 for years and it's great! Always starts even V8 engines in 20 degree weather. I may get the 4000 just because I like the digital display and to better start diesel engines in bitter cold. NOCO, nah, seen to many fail to start when needed most.
These are pretty good units. The noco is nice as well but I do like the info screen as it’s nice to have the extra info when needed. It’s needs a case verses the bag though..😂👍🏼
@@johnnysweekends Funny thing is, on gooloo's website it doesn't show any jump starters with a screen on them and doesn't show the 3000 amp one at all. On Their amazon store page same thing. no 3000 GT and no screens on any jump starters.. Search on Amazon and you can find both 3000 and 4000 with screens at least the picture shows it and it is "sold" by Gooloo and ships from Amazon? weird? The 4000GT says deliver by April 4-6 haha. 3000GT is available now within 3 days
Yes, they sold out of like everything lol. I’m still waiting for one. I think two more weeks.
@@johnnysweekends I ordered both the 4000 amp and a hard case thats also available. They are both weeks out though.
Yes I just talked to them and yea they are still waiting on products. Everything is on a boat..😂🤷♂️
I use Project Farm videos to make purchase decisions for tools etc. for my fulltime farm… would come in handy starting my 8 diesel tractors and other self-propelled equipment this spring, after being stored for the winter, since December.
Yes Todd is the man.
And for you yea sounds like something like one of these would be a item kept in the mobile tool box.👍🏼
Project Farm!
Cool little devices. Would it work if you connect he negative to ground instead of the negative terminal? The box is better than the bag.
I still have the box. And yes should work hooked to negative post on vehicle verses battery. Still makes a complete circuit.
Very good video
👍🏼😀
I just bought th gooloo gp 4000, but I love the idea of the lcd panel.
It is a nice feature but the gp 4000 is still plenty of power for most anyone.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼😀
The lcd doesn't really do much except tell you the temperature... a flashing led could do that. The real advantage of the GT4000 is the extended low temperature range. Otherwise the gp4000 is a great unit.
You gave a shout out to Project Farm. Thanks for the chance to win my friend.
I love Todd, the guy is awesome. 😀👍🏼
Entered 😉👍🏼
Hey don’t know if you say my post but you won!!! 😀👍🏼
@@johnnysweekends Lucky day for me. What do I need to do?
Contact me at Johnny512052@gmail.com
The Gooloo gets good reviews all around. I just don't know if to order the 4000 or the Hulkman 85. Project Farm rocks!!!!!
Yea the Hulkman looks like a nice unit as well but I haven’t seen as much testing on it, plus the price difference.
Choices 🤷♂️
I see this claim on their website, but it only shows on their top model! 'We have tested 500+ vehicles from over 20 brands, and 99.9% of them started successfully'
Maybe one had mechanical issues lol 🤷♂️
Project farm is the answer. I'd like to win one for my daughters car.
Wow! Great video. I thought showing the car starting with the jump starter alone was pretty cool. It shows that this pack has some serious CCA. BTW: I noticed there is quite a price jump from the GT3000 to the GT4000.
Yea the 4000 unit definitely packs a little more power and the heater which I don’t remember if the 3000 has..🤔
There is also the GT4000S that doesn’t doesn’t have the heater and is cheaper.
@@usmanisi what’s the difference between the gt4000 and the gt4000s?
@@JVBL1 GT4000 is designed for cold weather starting as low as -40F.
@JVBL1 one has the heater one does not
Definitely ah great box but dissing jumper cables is crazy 🤪
I still have them just in case. But hang a set of jumper cables to these new kids or new generation of drivers…. No clue how to really do it. Give them the jump box and they can figure it out in about a minute or less.
ProjectFarm!
Need one for my daughter's car.
Tip remove the negative terminal not the positive. If the positive terminal is removed it's can short out and destroy the electrical system. The negative terminal won't. If one has to be loose make sure it's the negative
This guy puts out a very nice video, yet most people here are complimenting Project Farm.
I think maybe because in the original giveaway video, the question at the very end of the video I asked who I mentioned so the answer was PF. The video has been edited though now that the giveaway is over.
But thank you for the compliment.. and thanks for watching 👍🏼😀
Can this power a car long enough to drive it a little bit? Like if the alrernator fail? I was looking st rhe Noco and they shut off after 60 seconds.
Unfortunately no. It’s not meant for that
I want to see this go against the Hulkman 85
Have you tried a cold start,very important for if you leave it in your car in cold winters?
This model has a built in heater… it’s mentioned in the video. Just heat it up and go.
I need a very small jump pack for my hybrid it does not pull any cranking Amps, just starts the electronics Is there any out there
I dont honestly
Gooloo should provide carrying case instead of trash bag at this price.
Most of jump starter sellers provide hard carrying case.
I know m. The cheaper model from GooLoo I think comes with a soft shell case which is better then a bag. The original box is better..👍🏼
Right. Now they make a case for this one. $25 through Wal-Mart. It's pretty nice.. A little bulky, but the GT isn't as slim as the older model unfortunately
other booster packs suck
they wont work if you battery is actually or no over ride.
they start beeping when u try to start
not cool in -minus 35c weather,
Yes you need one with a internal heater like this. Takes a
Minute or two but at least will work
You almost did the ever important and finger in the clamp test 1:57 lol I totally do the same thing
Project farm
Lol it just feels like you should lol 😂.
@@johnnysweekends Totally 👇 haha
😂👍🏼
nice
Like it.
👍🏼😎
I'm getting one
I love mine. Always on the ready. Just used it a few weeks ago again. People are like wow what is that thing lol
This looks excellent. Are you able to charge devices off the unit while the GOOLOO is charging?
I’m pretty sure you can, I thought I tested that ..🤔
I just shipped it to the winner…
But I’ll have a new one in a few weeks to verify.
@@johnnysweekends cool thanks for the quick reply. If it does that would be awesome. I checked your link but seems there are non available and hard to find anywhere else.
I know I just spoke with them and they are about 3-4 weeks backed ordered.
Seems to be the way of the world right now. Several models they have sold out which good for them lol. Literally a few hours after the video posted they said they are sold out and it will be 4-6 weeks roughly lol. I was like great 😂
So, is it an actual battery charger/maintainer on top of all of this? Seems like if your gonna build an all-in-one, it should do that as well as all the other stuff.
This is not a battery charger maintainer at all. It’s more of a emergency jump starter and power brick.
It will jump start several vehicles in seconds and is a great emergency device to have in your vehicle. I always have mine and can jump start a car in seconds and not need my old jumper cables.
Which is a lot safer. And even someone with no knowledge can easily follow the directions on this device.
Not a battery charger. That’s a whole other tool and that’s for home on the bench.
I bought one of these but when I turn on I only the battery percentage on it and nothing else. Ideally it should briefly show other info on lcd like yours does. Do you think mine is deffective? Or, they have two versions of GT4000 pre heat model. Mine is preheat model like yours. Thanks!
Hmm I’ll have to check mine again but I don’t think there is another updated version yet unless they made a small change.
I would test it some how just to make sure it does work properly.
Even if you just it in a vehicle and hook it to a battery just to see what it does.
Doesn’t mean you have to actually start anything
@JOHNNY'S WEEKENDS
Thanks for your reply!
Acutally I also contacted them. They mentioned there was a minor update and the latest ones don't do that meaning the unit act like mine. I saw another UA-camr whose unit act like mine too!
I also jumped my car with it to test it. Don't want to get any nasty surprises. I don't trust any electronics 😂
Ahh so there was a little update. Ahh not surprised.
Yea something like this, people will buy, check it out, charge it and throw it in a car… a year later they go to use it and and even though it has a charge, they never tested it and find out it doesn’t work.
@@johnnysweekends It says that it's good for 24 months of stand by. Idk. That'd be a great test to see if that's so. Hint hint.
I used it twice so far and haven’t charged it since I got it. I think it was at 82%..🤔
But I could leave it alone and not touch it. Would be a good update video.
Unless I need it 🤔😂
what's up with the gp3000 Just bought it and it isn't listed on the website. Was wondering are the gp3000 discontinued?
A ton of them are out of stock so replacements are coming, but I think the listings are down till they know when they will be arriving. I’m still waiting as well lol.
Have you tested the preheating function yet?
It did work on my initial test and one time when i needed to use it when it was about 34 degrees out it came on.
so, this is a batter that's gonna sit in my car with extream temps, hot and hold. How is this thing going to hold up?
Well just like your car battery it holds up just fine for about 5 years in abusing conditions. In a compartment in your car out of the weather these should last a long time. Plus lithium has alot more life cycles then conventional batteries.
anybody know what case is best for the gt3000 model other than the gooloo case by gooloo.. alternatives?
I have been keeping in the box lol. But yea no bags that I have used yet
@@johnnysweekends johnny.. this thing is brilliant dont ya reckon.. ive could not find another jump starter with 100w charging capability.. 100w means u can charge laptops and pretty much heaps of things. ive been so happy with my unit cause i had to replace my kogan 100w power bank that stopped charging and figured why not find something that had car jumpstarter as well and came across this gooloo.
The unit really was well built and I still use mine. Used twice and still at about 75% or so.
If you like this unit stay tuned 😁👍🏼
Hi there my friend. I love your videos and really appreciate the through comparisons and test you perform.
Would you say this is better than the Noco or Hulkman brand?
Is there anything better than this?
The hulkman and Noco are basically all in the same box for competition I like this and the Noco. They are beasts.
There are more coming to market all the time and GooLoo is releasing another and a company contacted me with a new type of jump starter you never charge. So may get that to test and see how it does.
Thank you so much.
😀👍🏼
hulkman i think is a better brand
They have good units as well but this one really stands out. But this video was a while ago and many new units out
Been trying to get one of these but sold out. Who’s the winner for the giveaway?
Yes they sold out just after I released the video..🤷♂️ they said a few weeks so maybe another 3-4 weeks from now. Could be a little sooner.
Bill k. Was the winner.
Project Farm
about two on eBay and I got one free $130
the only difference I saw in the gt4000 and the 4000s is the gt4000 will crank -40 on the gt4000s - 4 so I don't know what else the differences are nobody has yet been able to tell me what the discharge rates are the LED seems to discharge 1% every couple seconds
I believe the 4000 has the heater built in and the 4000s does not.
Hi l hope somebody can help me l have a gt 4000 used it once a year ago l went to use it again it flashs with numbers on screen but thats it
Did you ever charge it?
See if I’m the instructions there is a hard reset, also contact customer support. I still use mine and charge it about twice 3 times a year.
Project farm
How can I tell the old model from this newer version?
The gt4000 has a built in heater and the 4000s doesn’t
Thanks I take it that’s the only difference
@@johnnysweekends
does the 100W car charger work directly with a telephone?
I don’t think I understand your question..?
The vehicles charger..? Or 12volt socket work to charge a phone?
@@johnnysweekends the car charger at 1:42, will it charge another device like an android phone with usb c
Ahh yes. It’s just a charging cable so yes anything usbc it should work. It will only do a 100 watts if the device is capable.
"Project Farm" is the answer to your question for the contest.
project farm
I know I said these were junk vs ES5000 and I still stand behind that in reliability. Once you add buttons and settings the reliability will go down as it just one more thing to fail, another fail link.
But... That said of the Lithium's this one (GT4000) seems to be able to heat the battery for cold weather that is a nice addition and I heard it can go up to 2 years and still jump a car. Wonder how real that is.
How long does that boost actually turn of for? I mean if you are cranking a car that wont start for other reasons (Gas) doe it auto turn off the current? The ES4000 you can just keep a cranking for 10+ seconds if you want no timer.
On GT4000 is this also true?
And how many charges on a cell phone can it do say on a iphone or pixel phone?
Thanks!
I don’t actually know how long it will keep cranking but I would assume it stops after several seconds. 10+ maybe.
This unit is 99.2wh so how ever many mah or wh in your laptop or phone.
I know I didn’t use the jump starter for about 6 months and had it at about 80% when I put it in my truck and it was like 72% I think when I pulled it out. I jumped a car and threw it back in. It’s probably around 60% ish now..🤷🏼♂️
Idk the thing works killer. In my truck on the ready!!
@@johnnysweekends Thats not bad. You want one that just works because people forget to charge, and depending where you live just expect it to be in 20 degree or less temps. You want to work then too. Putting it in a freezer then starting a car in 80 degree temps does not count as a simulation. Everytime I've used mine has been for other people and the car is stone cold (15 degress F) + the battery is stone cold too.
I live in the north so these things have to work in the cold.
I can't make myself get a lithium because they are not as good as a ES5000 that continues to just work since 2014 to 2023. Nothing will be able to beat it in reliability.
But the GT4000 is one that I could see people getting due to its size, just dont know how well it will work in 5 years.
Yup that’s true when the vehicle is cold that also makes it harder and is a much better test. Mine vehicle was in the mid 50s I believe lol. But over I like this unit.
@@johnnysweekends Oh if I lived in a warmer area then the lithium's would be less of a concern.
I once had my battery run down from electric seat use. Could not get my V8 to turn over. Tried to jump in a parking lot but could not get it to jump with cables and people did not want to wait 5 minutes to charge. The AAA came and had this jump box and I thought no way. It fired up like a new battery and I asked him how long they had it how many cards etc. They had like 50 of them for years and use them in cold. I bought the same one they used since that is all they do in the winter is jump cars. I have no regrets buy the same unit.
Does your gt4000 fully charge to 100%
Yes, I have charged it about 4 times but probably due to check again.
Your supposed to store it at 80% or so.
I’ll charge to 100% on trips because it can be a power bank as well.
answer- is project farm .
I bought the gt4000s two weeks ago. The cigarette lighter charger gets so hot it melted. I’m not real sure what I think about long-term reliability. I’m returning mine to Amazon.
Wow odd, i mean mine gets warm sure, but never where I was like ohhh,that’s kinda hot. Did you try a different source just to try it? Maybe something wrong with that cord..🤷🏼♂️
@@johnnysweekends I tried it at 2 different outlets. Both got so hot you couldn’t touch the metal bits on the plug. I already sent it back to Amazon. Too bad because I was excited to try it out
Wow interesting, thanks for letting me know
I just bought one brand new but not charger at all just show light and then off .
Then return it for exchange. Every company can have a dead unit.
I wish I could win one I need one in a bad way
They are nice units. Unfortunately this giveaway is overall till my next one.
Is it ok to use this only to charge phones and stuff? I don't need a car jump starter, but I want a power bank with an extremely large capacity.
Yes totally!! But if you want more of a power bank and a jump starter GooLoo actually makes one. I was going to review it but never got around to it. It’s like 50% right now to…see it here amzn.to/3T5inWH
You CAN use one like this, BUT about half of your $$$ is going to the jump/start hardware. Plus these have bulk and complexity.
If you just need charging of lower-power devices like cell phones, then look for a power bank without the jump-starting. Also, Don’t believe any manufacturers’ power capacity claims. Even the best brands over-state capacity by 25%, and others overstate it by 300% or more. Watch some test reviews. 😊
Why every good jump starters in amazon is unavailable now ?
It was unavailable??
Here try this… I was able to click to buy
amzn.to/3JBCIOx
@@johnnysweekends Same. Thanks anyway. I'm living in South Korea anyway.
GT4000 IS APRIL DELIVERY ON AMAZON, GT3000 IS IN STOCK. WILL 3000GT ALSO GOOD ENOUGH?
It will still start trucks and cars but if your a shop or someone on a farm who uses stuff for big equipment and uses it frequently you may want the other. But normal trucks and cars it will be just fine. It will still start diesel trucks and more.
@@johnnysweekends It's for my 4.7L coupe, so it should be good enough. Thanks~
Ohh yea…. Probably spin it faster then the stock battery lol
Great boost pack and video but running modern cars without a battery hooked up is a terrible idea. Could get really expensive really fast if you wipe out a module or alternator or both.
I agree running newer vehicles with out one could, but if I had no other option because someone stole my battery and I needed to go well then I’ll do what I need to do.
Also depends where I was to. If there are services near by then just call someone
@@johnnysweekends I agree sometimes you do what you gotta do. Thanks for the content!
Yup 👍🏼 and thanks for watching 😀👊🏼
answer is project farm
Correct! Although the contest is already over.
Can it be used as a memory saver?
I don’t think so
@@johnnysweekends Thank you!
@@N9olan I used a Draper memory saver connected to a 12V Lead Acid battery through the cigarette lighter port, for that purpose.
Right, the jump packs are designed for short term use (4 seconds of high load, and 30 seconds of lower load - with auto-shutoff). Possible? Probably. But unless you know how to put this into low-current mode (as shown in the video) and wire it’s 12V/10A output port to feed the car’s circuit, attempting a memory-saving setup would be a risky move. There are easier memory savers out there.
I want to win this : )
The contest ended a couple weeks ago. But more giveaways will be coming through out the year
BIG mistake telling people to disconnect the battery with engine running ! This has a high probability of burning out expensive parts such as computers and other modules. Besides, you most likely won't even be able to accelerate if you can keep it running in gear. Back in the day this was a hillbilly way to test an alternator but even then you needed a battery to excite the alternator and to regulate the output. What happens when the engine keeps running when the battery is disconnected is the alternator puts out some current because of residual magnetism in the rotor but when the engine requires more current the alternator can't produce because there is no battery to increase the magnetism of the rotor. The battery also acts like a capacitor, or shock absorber as some will say to absorb critical voltage spikes and cover voltage dips when a high load kicks on which draws current and voltage from other areas and the alternator hasn't responded fast enough because they are just slow about that and when it does finally respond it can respond too much and that's when the battery helps absorb the surge.
Hence the reason I said only in a emergency you may be able to do this.
The only "emergency" situation I can see someone attempting this is if you have no cell coverage and you're in the middle of no where. Gary is right. Attempting this can cause all sorts of damage to the vehicles components and computers. An even bigger concern though (if someone followed this advice) is now you have your battery cables flopping around while you are driving so they can arc and possibly start a fire. Unless it's a nice threatening situation, don't listen to Johnny, just call a tow truck.
Again only in a emergency. You ever have no cell service? Or call a tow truck and they are over 6 hrs out..?
Sometimes I’ll do what I need to get to somewhere safe or family to safety.
That’s more important then my car and more then likely popping fuses or relays.
Again only in a true emergency
It is perfectly fine to do this. The car manufacturers have taken all of this into account (it isn't like they forgot how to incorporate old technology into new)
The only people who would think this doesn't work are people who don't work on vehicles themselves. This is hands down the best jump box. Excellent presentation and advice. Keep up the good work.
Thank you… 👍🏼👊🏼
I am not sure, maybe someone knows the answer, I think you can damage the vehicle running it without a battery .
Certain ones you can especially some of the newer vehicles for sure. But in a emergency situation you at least have a option to get going if you are somewhere out in no mans land or what ever the situation may be and you don’t want to wait around.

Try Walmart online or eBay they seem to always have stuff
Very disappointed with Gooloo's post sale service on a unit that will not charge. Purchased one on eBay and the Seller will not respond to requests for Return, Repair or Refund. Gooloo has been of no assistance, nor have eBay or the Seller.
Have to be careful with some eBay purchases. It could not even be a real GooLoo product or could have been a return. A lot of fake sellers on there. You possibly got a scammed unit. It’s a shame but seeing more and more of that on there.
Then they close the store after so many months and open another.
GooLoo or go home or maybe not go home.
Information at end of video ir WRONG ! Never run any alternator vehicle without a battery ! You will damage the electronics in the vehicle !
I guess you didn’t listen to “in a emergency “ it’s possible. If you had no options but you could start your vehicle in a emergency with no battery would you..?
That’s the point.
@@johnnysweekends Go ahead and do this to your own vehicle , you won't make 100 feet without damaging the electronics , I'm a retired electrical engineer and am confident in my statement .

I already did. And being a engineer is great. But the last Rv I bought had two electric problems and he was also a engineer. Me being a mechanic and also did a decent amount of electrical work I fixed the problem after I bought in a couple hours which he didn’t fix the 1.5 years he owned it.
Being a engineer is great. Doesn’t mean you can turn a wrench. Seen it.
But you maybe you can.
Toyota still running flawless.
But again if you missed the main point which I guess you are not getting.
If someone stole your battery, which is not to common anymore, but you had a emergency and you knew you could start your car with this or another means because of that “‘emergency “ would you?
Or is the car to precious???
I know I’m confident on what I would do.
@@johnnysweekends If someone stole the battery , leave the battery jumpstarter connedcted and drive the car so the alternator has a battery source to reference The system will see the jumpstarter as a battery and not allow voltage to spike .
Why would you not leave the jumpstarter connected and drive it instead of risking major electrical damage ?
LOL.
Folks i have to tell you that the SOS-Signal doesn't morse

Hope you'll never need to use it.
Well…… lol now I have to double check.
@@johnnysweekends do it and post it. i contacted the manufacturer, but they still say, there is all ok.
So, you checked it?
I made a video with timecode and took the times of the signals ;)
You can destroy the vehicle running it off the alternator!!! Ask a real mechanic.
Ahh sort of yea and no. If you listened I said, in a emergency situation you could this if needed. But that’s it. In the long run yea new modern cars just running on a alternator would probably throw codes and maybe even fry a ecu. But on old cars you used to be able to run off them and not much would happen. Now with them being complex you need a battery to be sure you also have a good ground.
But again like I said. In a emergency situation it could get you some where.
even the gooloo is junk, it starts beeping then u hve to wait 10 minutes to try again in real world
I dont know where you see that. I use mine many times and never an issue. Works great. Used it 2 weeks ago
Gooloo really drags their butt with regard to shipping the item to you. If mine isn't on its way by today, I am canceling my order. No matter how well made it is, it is useless if they never get it to the shipper so it can be on its way to you.
How long have you been waiting?
I know when these come in stock they sell out quick. Like two weeks and they are gone. Then they have to wait a month for another shipment.

Hi! Placed my order on 11-29. Their site said item would ship within one day. A couple of days later I contacted them and asked what was up. They give me a tracking number saying it is "on the way" but no indices that UPS has received or is moving the item as of today, 12-05.
So during the hot sales I assume. I know people are still waiting on many Amazon orders from cyber Monday but they are finally shipping. I think people bought allot of stuff this year.
Maybe give them another day or two because if they don’t have products to shop then they are waiting to.
But if you don’t want to wait any more cancel order. It’s a nice unit though for sure
I got mine in a day.
Someone had their battery stolen and not the entire car? Must have been a lazy or dumb thief who didn't know how to hot wire a car or was too lazy to steal the entire car and just stole the battery.
Not all cars can be stolen unless towed away
The output ratings of these jump packs are a joke, and should be a crime. Typical Chinese product advertising. This GT4000 advertises a "peak" output of 4000amps. That may occur for 10 milliseconds but is useless in the real world. They need to be made to rate their devices in more realistic numbers like continuous or average current output.
It’s been tested like crazy and works very well. Still one of the best.
Takes 48 hours to charge, not ideal
What are you charging it with?? It charges way faster than that. You’re using the slowest charging method.
Use the 12v cable or usbc 100 watt..👍🏼
