Now THAT's how you review a product! Let the product speak for itself by demonstrating it in action. And not only did you demonstrate it, but you put it to its limits in freezing weather. Awesome video.
Keep your battery pack in the vehicle. Some people keep it in there home. It’s not going to do any good if it’s back at the house and you need the vehicle has a dead battery. Anyway if you can afford it replace your battery every four years. That’s about the life time of a car/truck battery. You can get it replaced at any local auto parts store or your mechanic can do it. It’s usually free installation at auto parts store and the battery price less. I’ve done this for over fifty five years and never had to jump start a vehicle. It’s a good idea to still have a pair of good quality jumper cables in case your battery pack is to weak or you forget to recharge it every few months. Make sure you buy a wire gauge of 2/4 and you don’t need twenty foot long cables. The smaller the number of gauge wire the better transfer of power from a good battery. It will say on the package or ask the auto parts guy. A bit more money for quality. Yes today’s batteries work hard with all the power we use in our vehicles. I recharge my battery every couple of months with my battery charger . You can buy a no maintenance battery. If you purchase a battery with caps you have to check the water in the cells. Always use distilled water if you have to add a bit to bring to the level line. Good luck happy driving.😁
@@arthursmith643 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Thanks so very much for taking the time to educate this ol' lady in Iowa!
@@arthursmith643 again, I am in your debt.. thank you so very much for the education! 🥰
I have one of these and they're truly great. Tiny packaging so you can store in in your vehicle.
Outstanding!!
Doing the review in the cold was a nice touch.
Thanks. It was a fair amount of work but turned out decent. Thanks for watching. JC.
How to Automotive i agree. Best review.
@@Volkswear what you think of Gooloo 4000 amp vs Noco 3000 amp? I wanna pick of those
Agreed! Starting in the cold can be more difficult.
Absolutely.
Some say he's still jump starting cars to this day.
LMAO
Great comment. Thanks for the laugh. JC.
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO!!
XD
Gave a jump to a stranger in a Rover Evoque. Had my jumper cables out when I remembered this gem in my ammo box. Best buy ever.
The most amazing thing is how that Isuzu turned into a VW! Thanks for the review!
Barton Brown was wondering if anyone else caught that...
Indeed!!
I looked twice and wondered as well
@@suziscissorhands Come on now. Hopefully any man older than a millennial would catch it
@Barton Brown I don't feel alone anymore.
This was the best review Ive seen! You didn't just talk about what it does or how it's supposed to work. You physically used it and on top of that all the vehicles were covered in snow.
If it'll jump 6 cars in the cold I'm positive I won't have to worry about my daughter being stranded down here in the hot south!
It rarely gets below freezing here.
I have a Stanley jump box but it's huge and heavy. Its fine for me since I have a toolbox to put it in but my daughter has a small car and this will fit perfectly.
I may even sell my Stanley and get me one of these.
Since I rarely drive my truck the battery is always dead. Every time I want to go somewhere in it I have to jump it.
Thanks for the great review!
I've had mine for 7 years, and it still holds a good charge. I've used it a few times to jump my own dead battery, so I'm figure it's paid for itself many times over. Highly recommend.
I’ve owned mine for over two years. This unit works great and has gotten me out of a few situations where the car wouldn’t start. I highly recommend the NOCO GB40
I got one for free ,but to start a 4 cylinder car I have to wait about 5 minutes, I think something it's wrong with it already.
I bought the GB 50 based on your review. Have jumped 3 cars as a good samaritan and it worked perfectly every time!!! Great jump box.
I got the GB70 after watching my equipment installer use it on one of my vehicles and instantly starting the car. Much better than letting a battery charge up with jumper cables.
Theres another guy on UA-cam that did a test on a bunch of starters and rated the GB40 low. I had already seen a number of reviews which raved about the GB40. So here I am confronted with two cars, a 4 cyl and a 6cyl, it was -5 during the night and it was still frosty. The GB40 just unplugged from charging as it was brand new the day before. Hooked it up to the 4, no problem. Hooked it to the 6 and nothing so I did a safety bypass and it started. I checked it after starting two really cold engines and it was still 100%. The best test is the practical application of the product and this video goes above and beyond. I highly recommend the GB 40. Its a solid jumper.
Calgary always very cold . I didn't use my car 2 days. -- 28 degree. My car couldn't start. I tried a couple times, and the battery gone. I bought a jump start. It didn't work for me . I turned to this video. I founded out I didn't turn the jump start on to vehicle. I went back my car to try again. It work . Thank you for your video. I appreciate.
I own A NOCO GB40 myself and I'm very impressed with it. After watching this video I'm really glad i bought it know it can go to the extreme. Great video.
Alex Le how long can it hold a charge for?
I have gb70 couldn’t be happier only drawback not enough to start a diesels
@@michaellackie3756 yeah, it has, I just used mine yesterday to start a Toyota 2.2 diesel with a totally dead battery that didn't light the dash. Just leave it connected for 30 seconds or so before you crank. Sorry, gb70 also not a 40.
@@agalpalacio9157 even after 2 years it's still at 100%
Two years ago thanks to this video I bought my NOCO GB40, in the cold lands of Buffalo NY this device has been a blessing. I've used it several times as well as my friends. Thank you Volkswear for this video.
After seeing your video, I went out and bought a GB 40. They were on sale at my local Canadian Tire store ! Thanks for your video. Cheers from Canada ! Polar Bear country ! !
Kudos for your great video in cold, miserable weather on pretty gnarly vehicles. UPDATE: After five years I used it for real two days ago. It's been sitting in my trunk for the last couple of years without additional charging and it fired my 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid right up. Freakin' awesome product.
This is inspiring to watch someone be so confident around a variety of older vehicles in crummy condition. Gives me hope for myself and my old car! Thanks!
Impressive review, I used my GB40 once successfully on a V8 with a weak battery, when the unit was 2 year old, not charged. It’s well engineered.
I also have a GB40 & after watching your video/review, I’m glad I purchased it! It has countlessly jump started my Tahoe & other vehicles without a hitch! (Just as yours... completely dead batteries). ALWAYS is in my truck or whatever vehicle we take long trips in. 👍👍
I'd say if I had to boost my rig more then a couple of times, I'd be shopping for a battery, or charging system. I had car that I didn't drive much and waited a couple of months before I replaced the battery but these little things came in handy. Just don't forget to charge it at least a couple times a year.
Thanks getting one for my old tahoes and silverado
@@1980snafu Your Silverado a v6 or v8?
Broke down twice in the past, battery issues, and someone helped me with one of these both times, decided to get one for myself. Helped 2 people start their cars the other day, great piece of kit, everyone should have one. No more asking people to jump start you by getting their car around with jump leads etc, get one, no brainer
I have one that I bought over 2 years ago and It has saved me over 10 times and it still works great.
You da man for going through all that just for us. Appreciate it. I'm a believer.
Thank You Sir. Glad you enjoyed it. JC.
I agree. He's the man for sure! i'm so happy with this video and this product!!
I was thinking about buying one (do they even work?), so I watched this video and one or two others. And ended up buying one. And it started my car when I needed it a short while later. Thanks!
Amazing. Really hard to believe such a small thing could perform so well. Heck even using another running car to jump a dead battery it often takes several minutes before you can get a car to crank like that does in seconds.
This video should be NOCO's commercial on TV. I'm sold !
Excellent real world test, and in the cold, too. I’ve been on the fence for quite a while but I’m really impressed.
Check out a video on the OZ-CHARGE RESCUE MATE it doesn't need charging doesn't have an internal battery it gets its charge from the dregs of the battery its hooked up to...Amazing technology.
This continues to be the best test of this little gem gadget. I bought one right after I saw your video. Peace of mind in the glove compartment!! Thanks again!
Mine came out of the box at 25% and I was able to jump my Jeep.
I love this product.
A VIEW IS A VIEW wow 🤙🏽
You must have strong legs to be able to jump a jeep.
It will not jumpstart a diesel tho,but even large gasoline trucks with no problem!
@@АлександърИванов-щ8ю I'm curious if it'll jump start a 455 or caddy 500.
Wanted to see atleast one 350 jump..
I agree with Shawn C. Great review, all around. Very likeable guy and right to the point in his presentation.
We have had one for a year and it's never let us down. Amazing product.
I was doing property maintenance at a hotel for the past 6 years or so, and that would usually involve helping people with flats in our parking lot, or dead batteries. Our boss bought us one of these and it came in handy constantly. We'd just make sure it was charged up and any time somebody needed a jump, just basically hit a button and send them on their way
video is 6 years and still helping people. thanks dude
Great video. When using this booster, turn the engine over for 3-5 seconds. If it doesn't start wait about a minute and try again. This prevents the booster from draining down so quickly and gives the battery a chance to charge a little. The lights will scroll back in forth if the unit can detect the battery. I think the battery has to have a least 2-5 volts in order for it to detect it. That's why the lights didn't scroll on the completely dead batteries. Once you press that override button it allows the unit to act like straight jumper cables (Disables all safeties and limitations (Cables will spark if touched together in this mode) ). Some of the comments below mention that the unit drains when store in their vehicle during winter months. I store mine in a small case that is kept in my SUV all the time. I charge it maybe every 4-6 weeks during the winter to keep it fully charged.
great review thanks
The exclamation button you pressed is used when the battery is really dead. Its a manual override for the unit.
I wasn't surprised ! It works well ! As ryusou points out , the ( ! ) is for a really dead battery !
I have bought 5 of these devices (all different brands/models/amp rating) , 3 of them for friends. From 450 to 900 amps.
We are amazed and enjoy amazing other people with them.
I have the NOCO GB30. I use it to jumpstart my project cars. I also bring it on my motorcycle camping trips to charge my cell phone and in case I need to jump start my bike. Highly recommend it.
ramblindoug I cant find gb 30 anywhere I thought pole were making gb30 up all I’m finding is gb20 gb 40 gb50 gb70 gb 150
Noco GB30 sucks
this video made me buy one, and it's worth it's weight in gold pressed latinum, if you're thinking about getting one you will not regret it, people that i've help can't believe such a little thing is so powerful 1.5-V8s this thing kicks over with no strain
The UFP welcomes our Ferengi friend! Now, about your docking fee ...
Had one of these for couple years very happy I recharge of small solar panel and the charge my cellphone and lites and other things in the mountains ,wouldn't be without one. Used it a couple times to start my diesel rig. ,they done good 👍 👌 👏
The Exclamation point, is the manual override if the GB40 can't detect the battery. This does remove some of the safety features with it so it's a mode only to use if needed. Otherwise in most cases the device will go right into boost mode.
Exclamation point is used all the time in my tow truck. Works great, doesn't hurt the unit at all. It's the only jump pack we use in our trucks
Very impressed. I just received my GB 40 this morning. And I think I made a good buy. Thank you for your video. I was watching the steps you took to make it work. You are the real deal my friend.
Thank you very much for this video! I loved that you tested the product in the cold. I'm a beginner driver and this looks like a great product to have for precautionary measures!
Because of your review I'm ordering this now off Amazon. Thank you for taking time out in the freaking cold weather to demonstrate how this works.
ouch shouldve got yourself an audew jumper it is cheaper and far outperforms this pos.
Very impressed with the GB40. I have a GB150 that hasn't let me down yet. But, I have to say that as impressive as the GB40 was - those
Subaru's starting after all that time was just as impressive to me. I'm an American car guy, but I have always said that if I was to buy Japanese; it would be a Subaru. Thanks for the great video! 1st time watching your channel, but I enjoyed the honest review. And yes-I did subscribe and rang the bell!!!
I have the same make GB70 jump starter since 2015. It never failed me whenever I needed it in emergency in the bitter cold of Calgary.
That's dedication. In the snow! thank you.
I greatly appreciate your honest review and demonstration. NOCO will be pleased to know that after watching your video, I ordered the 150, case and AC charging adapter. Your GREAT presentation made all the difference for me... THANKS!!
Thanks for the very cold-honest review. I just bought one thanks to you!
Alternator died 5 min from home. What's left in the battery and this thing helped me made it into the parking lot.
Excellent un-biased opinion & evaluation on this product, thank you! I bet it could have started at least two more cars! What really startled me is the severity of the cold weather you tested it in & that it performed so frickin' well! I will also look into there more powerful units as well.
Thank You. Glad you enjoyed the video. JC.
@@Volkswear fingers crossed I am about to try & start a Renault Master using the GB50. We had no success with a lower unit (not Noco G40 as they had no stock), the battery just got flatter & now wont even try to turn over.
I'm a believer after watching this video last night, I bought one today.
There is no question ...it's very powerful & appropriate electronic device & my decision to have it was correct !!! Because it proved able to started my engine in a fraction of a second & it's far superior to my other devices of course some much cheaper but from what I heard it can being charged endless times & it have a powerful light too !!! On top of that it's very simple to used it !!!even a woman can do that !!!first hook the positive & then the negative then push the activation bottom on & immediately turned the auto key on !!! Then as soon the engine started pushed the bottom off & first disconnected the negative & last the positive & you are done !!! It's simple as that!!! It eliminated time & long gables !!! Time is everything & simplicity superb !!!
thank you so much. Knowing the air temp was really helpful too. I definitely bought this based on this video (and many other glowing recommendations online)
Wow start # 3 was impressive .... I just ordered the GB70 but wow that BG40 has some balls!!
I have the GB70. It seems at least once a week I have to boost one of our work trucks. Works great
I like how he tested on multiple cars to prove this devise works well. Nice job 👍🏽
THIS nice demo right here convinced me to make up my mind FINALLy on which one to get. Thanks!
WAOOW! Thanks sooo much for this! The snow was a definite win, ah mean starting in the snow is thee worst condition
I just purchased one of these myself. After having a niece stranded in Atlanta off I75 in heavy traffic, where jumper cables were useless, I vowed never again. After doing a lot of research, I chose the NOCO GB40. Excellent review. Thank You.
Thanks for watching. Good Luck with your GB40. JC.
I have a WeeGo which looks exactly like yours and I too have had similar results but the biggest test was at Disney we powered 4 phones all day and you know how many pictures and checking lines length etc you do and every phone ran at 100% ALL day!! I too am amazed at how long these things hold a charge! Great Video!!
Thanks for this review. I was looking for something that showed its functionality in cold weather. I really appreciate no frills review. Thanks again
Thinking of getting one of these. Cant get a better demo than that.Well done
i'm a tow truck driver and this video is the reason i'm going to give it a try thank you for doing this video it was a grate demo of the gb40 thanks from Reyes Towing in Ft worth texas
It's awesome, impressive. Good product as well as excellent presentation. You could become fantastic salesperson too.
Thank you for the demonstration. You convinced me, I will buy the Genius BG 40. I also want to say that those old Subarus starting after being sitting in the yard for so long and then easily starting, really IMPRESSED ME ! ! !
This is a great little jump box. Its my favorite for sure. The Subies are good little cars. They have their quirks but are good cars for the most part. JC.
We use the larger version of this jump pack in our tow trucks. Way better than the giant 25 Lb ones we used to use. If one of these won't jump start a car or pickup, something else is wrong lol
Thats how a review and test should be done. Thank you Sir! 👍👍
The real test would be to - store the charger in the car for a few days in the cold ( below freezing )and see if it jumps a battery . Since most people will store this in their car trunk.
That's a good idea. Your right.
Yea thats a great point, I work one week in one week out at a fly in camp in Canada, I bought a bigger dewalt charger that I left in back seat, after one week of sitting at -30c it would not start my Ram 1500. So i learned my lesson and bought this one, specifically so I could take up with me in my carry on bag. Im not going to take the chance of leaving it in the glove box in the middle of winter.
Actually, it is a bad idea. LiPo cells don't like the cold. I don't think this thing is made of supercaps.
@@nezinomasbepavardis3315
You're right I never thought about that.
I have a similar type of power source and have gotten 4 jumps out of it over the course of a day. I do not leave it in the car during the summer when it's hot. Haven't had an issue with the cold but these things are so compact you could easily carry it in a computer bag or pocketbook when leaving the car.
Thanks for showing this true test of the product. Very helpful!
25% of 7000 Joules = 1750 Joules. Impressed with the marketing guy who put that on the box (big numbers sell better).
Brilliant! Thank you Big Dawwg. Keep on trucking!
I'm glad that I found your video. Pretty great results. Btw, is it just me or does that Isuzu have a VW emblem on it's grill?
I have purchased six(6) of these GB40 units. They work excellent. I recommend this product to all my family and friends. 👍
Just saw Project Farm test this same unit. The Audew blew it away.
seen the video. Audew ftw
@KelMaster Construction Well you saw this video. So what do you think was the problem with the GB40 from the other test?
He never pressed the "boost" button on the NOCO (exclamation mark on the front panel).
@KelMaster Construction I would hope they read the comments
@@blueribb99 Yep, he never did.
Had this for many years now. Still works like a charm. Used it many times on my spare car that sits outside and rarely gets driven. Works every time. If the battery is very dead, there is an additional more powerful mode by holding the button down for 5 - 6 seconds and the lights start racing faster. It gives a lot more battery power to jump start, but there is a risk of damaging the battery if not done correctly.
Holding the “!” button for 3 seconds is a manual override to force “boost” on. Boost is the mode you need to be on to jump cars. It doesn’t force/“boost”more power, but allows the pack to detect batteries under 2volts.
Impressive! My 🚗 was totally dead. Pressed the boost button, started right up! I love this device!🌿
✨🕊#MsWarriorSaint
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought the NOCO GB40 yesterday and am waiting for it to charge before trying it on my dead battery in my 1999 Mazda Miata.
How in the hell did that little thing do all that I’m impressed
I haven't yet to use this on my truck yet. But I boosted several at work. Saved alot of people money at hotels a few times. I love that you just started going around boosting vehicles after lol
Love the video We bought one and are getting ready to jump off a 77 pickup that's been sitting since 012 and a 88 ranger that's been sitting since 003 So I'm Very Impressed thank you For your Video it gives me hope
I've had a couple different portable jump starters, but they all died after about 2 years. Maybe in a year or so you could do a follow up to this device.
danny mcelvain Thats not a bad idea. January 2019 will be 2 years. If you don't see a video remind me and I'll try and do another video then. I did use this same jump box yesterday to jump a car and it worked great. JC.
Volkswear how about that 2 year follow up video. I’m currently looking for a portable jump starter. Thanks!!
Angelo Martinez I'll get on it next week sometime. JC.
Jason L.E just got one yesterday, then this popped up.
Let's do a review on the same unit after two years
This is the first video where I've rooted for the product. This thing saved me last week after I left my headlights on. Great review.
I live in a cold climate like yours-- your review was very useful.
Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful. JC.
Not expecting a size of mobile charger do such a good job. Thanks for the review.
That would be very Handy to have around. Thanks for Sharing.
I just purchased the Noco battery pack yesterday , and your channel popped up. I feel positive about my choice , of course I researched first but I'm sold. Thanks for the tutorial.
Looks like a great product! I want one.
That was amazing. I have the Canadian iteration Motomaster Eliminator.. Graphics just a little different.. Thanks for sharing all that. Wow.
I've been using mine for the last week without a recharge and was wondering how many jumps it was good for. I'm impressed as well considering some of the crappy reviews I've seen on it.
Wow 6 jumps in cold weather! I just got one before watching this video I am so happy
+Volkswear That was the best jump pack video I've ever seen. You did a great job with both the video and audio! This was a real-world test in frigid temperatures and the NOCO was really impressive.
Can you please tell me more about your jacket? I'd like one for myself.
The coat I'm wearing is by Berne Apparel. Pretty good winter coat. I like the hood when it is windy and cold out. Thanks for watching. JC.
I got this product I bought it few years ago. I only used it a few times and it never let me down. It a great product to keep in the car
I stopped the video half way through and bought one.
Thanks for this! That exclamation point button was all I needed! Nothing was happening until I pressed it
Super helpful review. Gonna order one of these things today.
Best review ever. This is how products should be tested. I just ordered mine now.
I literally just bought this at Canadian Tire, We've had extreme temps for a month straight. Night time lows have been averaging -46 Celsius.. Day time highs are around -36, Friday and Saturday dipped down to -51 Celsius. My built in trickle charger somehow became disconnected on my last oil change, so Plugging it in all this time was doing nothing. So it would not start at all. I have a 2012 Dodge Journey V6 AWD. Battery is located by the drivers side tire. My buddy had an Eliminator power pack Hooked it up and started right up.... And right to the store and picked up the GB40 . Good deal they were on sale... Here's a video for the folks who own a Dodge Journey ua-cam.com/video/0SMiItdA05w/v-deo.html
Like you I just lived through the month of "my gawd is that temp reading -50 Celcius!"....Yep Northern Ontario fun....so my Tacoma died in the process and it was 5 days of downtime for me...Tried a Napa Auto 400amp unit and it worked I'll give it that but it didn't start...It turned it over though for quite awhile but the problem was deeper so I'll give 100 percent credit to the NAPA unit. Regardless my friend has the GB40 and he got in on sale at Canadian Tire...He started 4 vehicles during the Deep Freeze. Myself I had to buy a new battery and change the plugs and hard wired a 2amp battery charger in the battery box.
I just bought an ABOX 1500A Peak Car Jump Starter from Amazon.ca to have as a backup though so....
Thank you so much for making this product. I love it. I will be able to help myself and others around me with no worries.
Ok now i know this is the best one to buy thanks for the video
I watched this a few weeks back lookin for a portable jumper for my harley……these guys at noco should cut you in on some commission cuz you sold this for me not only does it bring my bike back to life but I’ve started taking it to work with me and as a tow truck driver I gotta sat this thing is a god sent
Nice hands on review ..might buy one
Thanks for the video. I bought one today before watching this video and have not used it yet. I am so impressed after watching your video
