- I always have to jump start my cars as they don't get driven all the time. I was after something reliable that was able to not only hold their charge over a period of time but could also start a car every time. I came across Noco and their Genius Boost products and I can highly recommend their products to you.

Finally, a comparison between the 3 simultaneously, AWESOME! Thx
i wish they'd put the INTREGRATED VOLT METER in all the models of the Noco GB Series Jump Packs.
I agree! That is why I went for the big GB150 model simply for the Volt Meter.
Excellent video!
Great review!
I wish NOCO would do their product testing in Canadian winters when the temperature is minus -30. Let see how the product stands up in the Arctic cold.
Yes thats when you need them.
You would probably find that it would take a few tries till the batteries warm up before they can give their full power.
very useful. Thanks!
Great review
GB30: 4:01 🏔
GB70: 5:09 ⛰
GB150: 6:00 🌋
what does mean of the emoji....🤒
why are you saying that? Is any function of it or any else?
Excellent video again Bond, much detail
Many thanks!
This is a great informative vid man! Got my answers I needed. Thanks!!!
It looks like the Voltage jumped to 30 volts for a split second?
Great video
I have their GB 40 starter unit and can't get a vehicle I have started with it. After trying it on my vehicle I tried it on my mower and it didn't work there either.
Great car
I got the gb40 a few days ago. How long does the gb40 last off a fully single charge when not in use? Assuming I want to leave it in my trunk
Thanks for the great video! Are you familiar with the NOCO Genius G15000?
It's supposed to be able to charge up and even repair old batteries. 🤔
Have a try with a new brand, it is awesome too!
thenk you very much
Might be a good idea to invest in some trickle chargers for the cars that don't get driven or run regularly so you don't have to jump start them so often. Alternatively, you might want to just disconnect the batteries in the cars that are in longer term storage. In either case, these type of jump packs are great tools to have on hand for emergencies, or for semi-regular use in your case.
I've thought about trickle chargers but I can't be buying 10 of them and some even sit outside in the drive. I do disconnect the negative side of the battery but some cars like the FD2 have a cover in place so it becomes really time consuming just to get the battery connected again. Good ideas though.
PerformanceCars just invest in 1 Ctek Charger. Them buy adapters for all cars. The comfort connects are really easy to use and you can leave comfort connects on terminals for fast and easy switch over.
I think ill buy the 150. one thing, can this be used in manual override mode to administer a shock to a heart attack victim if i have no access to a defibrillator
Thanks !
I have found that even with booster cables hooked up to a good battery that an engine will crank slower. The clamps give very little contact area and sometimes have to be wiggled to get the starter to crank faster.
Recently found a jump box that would not allow the clamps to open enough to grasp the extra wide terminals in our 2018 Explorer. Guy did jump it with one of this brand.
Pretty awesome
I have a gb40 and didn’t have any problems starting my car in warm weather but now that is under 30’ Fahrenheit my car takes forever to start and it most of the juice from the gb40... Just get the gb70 or the gb150

Do a video on how many time the battery jumper can jump a car
i have a gb70. it works great.
I bought the GB40 now November in Alberta Canada sitting all summer completely dead battery 5.7 GMC truck about minus 2-3 out... it turned over Slow but started on the second try... stayed full charge... I'm going to get the GB150 for my Auto Body shop and keep the GB40 for basic running around... been standing in the parking lot looking stupid a few times now... LOL
How long do these usually last?
ordered one of Amazon about 10 hours ago with discounts Gb50 1500amps😎👍
I just got mine it was $94 what did u pay?
Thanks!
I'm looking to buy a powerful one and keep it for a few years without really much use unless needed. A gb150 kept at around 50% charge would still be able to start a 3.5 liter petrol engine?
Yeah of course. The gb150 can start up to a 8 liter engine I think. I stand to be corrected
Even the gb70 can turn over a 7.3 diesel with two batteries.
Done it with the safety off, but it worked!
I've seen lots off these videos, mainly with the GB40 and they look very impressive. However, they are all on petrol engines. Try the GB40 on a 2ltre diesel engine and it's a completely different story. The GB70 on the same diesel engine will start it once, but then it needs recharging before it will do anything else.
I started a 2L diesel engine (VW Transporter) with my GB70 and then I started 2 water pumps right after that, the type plate on the side said that they both were 70hp diesel engines. After that, my GB70 showed 50% charge but to be sure I charged it anyway. It was around 10-15c outside when this happened, results may vary per 2L diesel engine and by temperature, but the GB70 is definitely not empty after starting 1 diesel engine, at least not in my experience.
GB40 WORKS GREAT ALSO
Just got the gb40 a few days ago
Autell and Top Vision !
Cool 😎
You would think if the steering wheel is on the left side why wouldn't they put the ignition switch on the right side of the column it would give you more room
6.3 volts is plenty of voltage to charge the supercapacitor and start your car.
Is this portable can i charge my car battery without having to connect the NOCO G26000 to the main electric?
Does charger need mains
Thank u
Can the GB70 boost a V8 engine such as Tahoe or Expedition?
drhassoon yes
All day
Under 2 years ago i bought a GB70 2000a noco booster pack and it worked great but now its shot. 2 years is not long enough i was going to buy a GB150 but now im not. If your in the market and want the a noco get the biggest one.
Is that the normal life expectancy?
As l need one but if that is all its going to last it aint worth forking out £170 for.
@@Billy-xw8uu not sure but i loved it untill now. But id get the gb150 if i got one of those again.
Could you have unhooked the car battery and tried to rely solely on the Nocos to start the car? Just a thought. GB150 definitely made it seem more effortless.
I have seen other reviews of the GB150 where they did perform that test. The battery was completely disconnected and only using the GB150 the car started. The testers stated that although, the device is not made to do this and it is possible that damage could been done to the booster, but it was successfully done.
I have the GB40 booster and tried to crank my vehicle which had the battery dead and don't get anything from the battery. I used my multi-meter to check the battery voltage and it is at 2.4 volts. Either the unit is bad or there is another problem with my vehicle and I will check that tomorrow.
Sidney Mathious The Noco needs to see ~11-12volts before it will send out power. You can force it to output power by push and holding the ! button until all the lights start flashing. This will defeat all the safeties built into the Noco but will be necessary when the car battery voltage isn’t high enough.
@@MrSleepProductionsInc Thanks for that information. I will test my vehicle again for that voltage.
@@semco72057 how did you get on?
@@itfben I tried it once more but it did not crank the vehicle.
Great review! Thanks!
The 10 people who didn't like this video are wankers. lol
i agree was excellence
I use AAA
The Noco GB40 Genesis boost is junk. I bought one , it work good the first two times I used it and then it just quit working. Took it back and had it replaced. The new replacement also stop working. Went and bought one from Harbor Freight called Viking and it has worked great without failure.
Try the GB 70 and 150 on a diesel engine please
Check out Auto Auction Rebuilds. He does Co Part walk around videos, and has used the one with the volt meter for maybe 2years, starting everything from small engines to pickups with the diesel engines. He gets 10-15 starts out a full charge. It even starts cars with no battery....
GB150 is like trucks starter 😂🤣
Lol 😂
You need to try this on a V8 truck with a dead battery.
Well I don't know about noco 'I bought a noco 40 and after about 10 months I was starting a vehicle and it melted 'so I thought if I bought a bigger one it would be a lot better ''I got a noco 70 and now the lights come on but as soon as I put the jumper leads on the battery the noco goes dead ''I tryed every thing I know there is a over ride button still no luck 'I'm not sure if noco is as good as they say 'I saw a great starter pack ''''top vision with 2200 cranking amps and if you watch scotty kilmer it's the one he recommends and another one I'm interested in is the gooloo it seems to be very good as well 'I personally believe that noco s name is over rated 'it's a bit like BMW 'once they have the name they can build crap ''at the moment I'm not impressed with noco '''there product is ok when new 'and another thing they don't spin the engine over fast enough 'some times '''it's not a good omen when the bloody thing melts 'it could have killed someone 'with a heart problem 'they would be toast '
They're good products, but massively overpriced. I bought a generic Suaoki model about 5 years ago for £50 quid and it does exactly the same thing. Furthermore you'll get a much bigger battery for other devices.
What is the brand of the battery tester?
George he says the name in the beginning of the video and he has a link to their website, how do you miss all of that???
Justin Kelly , I'm not referring to the Noco jump starters, but the voltage battery tester he is using, you know the blue device he has connected to the battery at the beginning of the video, how can you miss all that? Lol
Ayyy
@4:30 The voltage meter doesn't have anything to show 😏
Remove the battery off the post and try to start the car without the cars battery hooked ..
I use a motorcycle battery. Jump leads. Bike batteries are just £10.
I also have another big battery 12V on a trolley.
They're what i use to use at work.

G50 did not crank my 2007 Prius!
I have watched a few videos about charge pack and this Noco Series model did no do too well. Also you only get a felt storage case, not a real case for storage.
You can get a real case as an addon - bought it for 20-30 bucks. Would be nice, if it were included right away, though...

How to recharge the device
It charges by the user dancing around a tree four times, naked at noon.
Ummm... You plug it in...
You own a GB150 because you have so many cars, and they all need to be constantly jump started to move about? Something doesn't seem right with this claim.
What part doesn't seem right mr. Detective?
The truth is out there 😂😂😂😀
adam Camacho nothing at all, I guess, if you own several shitty cars and don’t understand basic car maintenance. I guess you’re also a member of that club 😂
Horrible for batt to be fully drained, shortens life
these are so over-priced. I have a £22 one from amazon and that kicked up my dead 2.0 petrol no issues.
£22 and it jump started a dead 2.0 engine! That's impressive, do you have a link to the product?
PerformanceCars sure do, www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B013UBRZUS
Was £22 when I bought it back in February 2016 but has gone up a little. Says up to 2.5 ltrs petrol engines, I've havent had the need to test it on my 3.0 BMW yet.
Seems to be bs bro.....
u asian why u have a accent like them in uk mate u video great give me a idea now what there like and to buy so video honesty be safe

I do jump starting for a living here in Canada and I can tell you these Noco toys don't work. Ive had 3/3 customers who kept one in their trunk, fully charged, in case of emergency. In every case they fail to start and they ended up having to call me anyways. Every so called "review," Ive seen on UA-cam is conducted in warm weather so its unrealistic. When they're needed the most, when its cold out, (-5 to -20 Celsius) they don't function. I don't mind, its good for my business. The price for my service is pretty much what a GB40 is worth. Thanks Noco!
Don’t be so confident in your statement. That happens because people don’t know how to properly use Noco devices. On completely dead batteries (under 2 volts) the device won’t detect it’s connected to anything, so as stated in the device’s manual (and also shown in this video with the GB 30 model), you need to press the exclamation mark button first before trying to jump start the car. It’ll work for sure! If you don’t believe me, look at this video that shows a Noco device jump starting 5 cars (with completely dead batteries) in a row IN COLD WEATHER ua-cam.com/video/YKVH0CcWeMo/v-deo.html
Be careful though! Pressing the exclamation mark button disables the device"s safety features like spark plug protection, wrong polarity protection, etc.
Johnny5 the reviews on Amazon aren’t good either. Lots of dead packs, and even some bulging or swelling (batteries leaking). All the UA-cam videos seem like they were done when the pack is brand new.
Not true I had my neighbor jumpstart my 06 Jetta TDI that's been sitting in the cold for over a week and wasn't been used at all and I'm from Toronto so it's been cold past few days and my neighbor had a noco GB40 and it started my car first try so idk about your statement they probably did a have a defective device cause my neighbor had his for 3+ years

Good advertising!! speculating and putting off people buying a product, so the can continue to call you!! ...wtf who does jump starting for a living?, I don't imagine any intelligent kid when he was asked in his childhood? what do you want to do for a living when you grow up??... (I want to be a police, a layer, an architect, a doctor, etc) i never heard some one saying i want to be a car jump starter!! hahahahaha
Never jump start a S2000 with a battery pack. Doing so will will damage the rectifier(about $200 part) in alternator and cause the dash cluster to flicker when revving the engine. Source: S2000 guru Billman250.
Hey, I've never heard of this. How would you get a S2000 going if the battery is dead then?
I think you can't jump start it with one of those jumper packs. Connecting it to another car or battery might be OK though. I would suggest doing some research on this subject on S2KI.com. Your best bet is to either disconnect the battery and deal with the car running poorly for awhile once you connect it again or buying a Ctek battery tender. I had the rectifier replaced recently(no more flicker) and keep it on a Ctek battery tender.
Think in those cars the rectifier was already going bad, so it was not charging the battery properly, which caused the need to use a jump pack.
If the jump pack really did cause the rectifier problem, then another car used to jump definitely would have caused a problem. When jump starting, the donor car should be running, with its alternator putting out 14.4V, which is more than any of those jump packs put out. Either way, a rectifier that's damaged by a jump start is either poorly designed or someone connected the jump start wires reverse polarity.
Hooking the wires up reverse would blow the rectifier. There is no protection against this when jumping from another car, it's all on the operator to visually inspect what he's doing. It is nice that some jump packs are adding reverse connection protection, however that only works if the battery has enough charge to determine pos and neg electrically. If there's still a drain on the battery, it could read 0.0, and the protection won't know if it's reversed.
Way overpriced....
