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

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.
How many times you start cars without charge the noco
@@vasiliscoutsouvelis2795 I always keep my NOCO fully charged. I think you can jump start up to 15 cars on a single charge.
When charging has the unit got to be switched on??
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
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.
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 :)
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.
Thanks for the insight! You used the GB40?
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.
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.
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
GET IT I DID . SHOCKED HOW IM ALWAYS RUNNING NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES MY BATTERY DIES. SUPER COOL
I just got one, charged it in three hours, and it did not miss a beat starting my 1995 BMW328i, this piece of kit is the business.
just tried this on an F150. worked like a charm. thanks!
short and sweet too the point nothing left out and ego free ! thank you !
Excellent No Nonsense video with no music. Showing the charge rate in various States,
As well as boosting a V8 and V6 to show capability. Awesome video! thank you sir.
My led is not flashing its solid why ?
Been using mine for 3 1/2 years still works great. I go to auto auction and use mine a lot to start vehicles 3 to 4 times a week
How often do you have to charge it with using it that much?
What's the biggest motor you successfully started? I read a lot of people complaining that it doesn't have enough power, but the others have even started a 5.8L V8 with a GB40....
I bought the NOCO GB40 because during the lockdown I hadn't run my car for a while and the battery lost too much juice. I plugged in the GB40 and it started up immediately. Now I take a short drive at least once a week to keep the battery charged.
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.
There are so many one star reviews on amazon... why can't they make these smart jump packs reliable. The concept is amazing!
Just bought one. Had a crappy cat jumper pack with compressor etc that did everything badly. Only used it once since new, but opened the car to see it flashing to say it had malfunctioned. Took it back to Costco on Monday for full refund.
Thursday, I took my mum shopping and sat in the car while she was in the shops.
Didn’t realise my lights were on. First time I’ve never carried a booster and I had a flat battery lol.
Anyway, safe to say, I’ve just ordered one of these for collection tomorrow
“Let’s get into it”.....
“Before we get into it...”
😂
Thank you. I had checked this item out quite thoroughly but your video was the deciding factor. I ordered the jump starter.
This video completely sold me. I was going to buy the DeWalt 1400 booster...until now. The air compressor is a nice feature, but the additional weight is not worth it.
Receive mine from Amazon ....first charge in outlet usb wall....25% full 50% bling keep charging 75% bling keep charging til green light full .....all this took 16 hours ......Ready to go now 👍
I bought one for myself and used it on my own vehicle. It was -20 outside and it started my car after a couple attempts. One thing i did notice though was that it drained most of the power from the unit. Not sure if i used it properly or was just because it was extremely cold outside.
"We all know what these look like. We've all used them"
*Nervous sweating know I've never done anything with cars or car batteries before*
😅😅😅😅
These are Great units ! Had mine about 7mo no issues
How’s it holding up 2years later

Any problems with booster?
Nice review, demo.. well explanatory.. I got myself a GB70...
I’m was trying to decide between the 40 and the 70. Then I saw there is now a 50 version out. Might try that.
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.
+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.
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!
I had the genius boost pro, these things are awesome man. but my co worker dropped mine, it took a 4 foot drop everything since when I try charging it it will light up and blink at the 25% mark and never goes further. it won't charge and that sucks ass. so take care of it don't let your coworkers borrow it
+Arthur Garcia thanks dude. Yeah I'll take care of it for sure.
It looks like your co worker would have bought you a new one.
Sorry about that.
@@nickhill8612 I agree he should have bought him a new one or paid to have it sent to the factory for repair. This is why I don't really like loaning tools out, even though I do at times to certain people. Although if I borrow something and I break it I feel I'm responsible to fix or replace it.
@@NLINE7
You're absolutely right.
I would buy a new one or get it repaired.
I used to loan tools to neighbors but not anymore.
I loaned a "friend " a socked set and when I finally got it back it was missing 3 sockets and my friend said he has no idea what happened to them.
Now he tries his best to avoid me every time he sees me.
I don't need "friends " like that.
Get rid of it and get a new one. They can be very dangerous when damaged. I have over 25 years experience with RC cars that run on lipo's and have seen them catch fire and explode. Keep in mind when they are damaged they will puff, but with the hard shell cover it would be hard to see what's going on inside. Its not worth the chance. As fare as repairing it, once they are damaged they are not repairable.
Thanks for the perfect review. I’m going to pick one up this weekend.
Idem
I like mine, but you have to watch and remember to check its charge every few months to make sure it hasn't lost its charge. It's a bad day when you go to a dead car all prepared to be a badass and jump it only to realize all the charge in your nifty toy is gone!
+Rust and Repair haha good tip bro.
2 ways to think of this situation. 1) Remember to charge AND have another external battery such as ANKER available to charge this NOCO battery. Problem solved for forgetting = always have 1 more battery ANKER ($29.99 for about 10K maH = enough for it) 2) u dont always need to jump start a car that's too far from home. Just go home to charge it and bring it to the car to jump start!
Keeping batteries at max charge can damage them pretty quickly. You should regularly discharge them to 50 percent, and long term storage should be at 50 percent.
Thanks for the Vid. I just purchased one for my car and watched this vid while charging it for 1st time use.
Me too
Did you have to charge the thing up first, or was it good fresh out the box ??
@@jdlf117 Did you have to charge the thing up first, or was it good fresh out the box ??
@@iismellgood Charging before 1st time use is necessary.
@@iismellgood yes it needs to be charged first.
@7:11 😂😂 best comment ever. If you know you know. Our snap on dealer carry’s these. Very high quality booster
Looking into one of these, heard the comment about salesman and jump packs and had to thumbs up
Excellent review, everything about the booster pack was fully explained.
Thanks for this. PERFECT review, exactly what I needed to know to be sure this would do my big V6 4L Range Rover and the Mercruiser 5.7L V8 on my Searay boat. £99UKP here, well worth it! Sub'd
important to note: with the override on the safety feartures are disabled!
I have the 5800 i think it is lil on the older side no boost love it it did its job in the cold wi winter weather on both cars today. But time for upgrade with this ..
Build quality is awesome. Cables are heavy duty and even they have a rubber cover..some thought went into this product. Ironically charging your phone drains the battery faster than jumping multiple cars!
Nice video. Shows me I need a tripod. lol. I bought the Rockford lithium jumper from my Matco dealer about 2 years ago. It's okay... but has grown a little weak. They've only improved since then. Probably time for an upgrade. Thanks for the video.
+RealTechReview yeah bro! This thing is tried tested and true otherwise I wouldn't have done the video.
Please reply about my question regarding GOOLOO GP200 model which is 10 bucks cheaper and about 9x the maH for charging external USB devices (NOCO 2050maH vs 18000maH GOOLOO GP200). Is Gooloo GP200 is better deal?
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
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?
@@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 UA-cam Channel with how to use their products check it out very informative.
@@dannyaspiras7810 so in case she f very dead battery on car you MUST DISCONNECT THAT VERT DEAD BATTERY FROM THR CAR?AND THEN USE THIS JUMPSTARTER TO JUMPSTART TGAT VERY DEAD BATTERY BU USUNG OVERRIDE FEATURE OF THIS JUMPSTARTER?
@@deepb249 no you don't disconnect the battery ever. In the video he disconnected the battery to simulate a 100% dead no charge battery.
No you do not have to disconnect the battery at all to use the GB 40. He disconnected the battery just to show a simulation if you had a dead battery the GB 40 should be able to start your car.
I have used the GB 40 on many types of vehicles 4, 6, V8, and Diesel pick up trucks. I run a restaurant and I have customers that I have jumpstarted their vehicles with the GB 40 with no issues so far and I’ve had this unit for over three years.
Thanks for this review! Going to get mine ASAP!
Even with big engines, with over ride mode, looks like you charged up vehicles. There are some videos out there that say the GB 40 isn't strong enough, but they don't try over ride mode. Looks like your video is the more informed one. Liked.
Trust me bud , the noco is the real deal ! Some people do not read the book or even watch a video on it. I've own several of these , I buy them and use them and then give them away to family members I keep a gb150 in my car since I work for company who had alot of cars and trucks
Noco says, that the override button doesn't provide more power, it only disables safety functions, like polarity and stuff.
The boost button isn't reliable for a better start, it's only function is to engage with a battery under 2V to my understanding of their promotion video.
@@jelly8594 The Noco GB is normally 1,000 Amps. But, here's from their website on the override mode: THIS MODE USES VERY HIGH CURRENT (FROM 400-4000 AMPS) THAT CAN CAUSE SPARKS AND HIGH HEAT IF NOT USED PROPERLY. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT USING THIS MODE, DO NOT ATTEMPT AND SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP.
For people asking about how to charge it, you do it just like you charge your phone. You'll see a USB jack that says "USB in" with a micro USB plug.
And yeah, charge it off your PC if you feel like it.
If this thing doesn't work for you then either check to make sure your starter is working or exchange it for a new one. This thing is bananas. (If you live in a cold environment, your mileage might vary, but a healthy unit will start your car... just sayin)
There are tear down videos for people that want to know how it works. It's pretty straight forward.
Can I charge it in a house outlet? using a USB adapter?
@@yeezuss1198
Yes. It charges pretty fast too. Also, It comes with a car lighter adapter so you can charge it while you drive around.
Seems this is really great device. Thanks for great review.
Prospective buyers should know that most all battery booster packs are made in China. As such I would not expect much customer service. NOCO is a US company and my GB40 was made in Vietnam.
I love my unit. Works like a charm. Also handy to use as a battery for my iphone.
I would never leave this in the car and forget about it. Lithium ion batteries swell up and in some cases explode under sustained temperature conditions... Did this company take any extra precautions to prevent swelling and explosion?
I ordered the hard carrying case $18 on Crutchfield website about $24 with shipping orders $35 and up free shipping
I bought one but its the GB70 HD 15700 joules. Jump starts up to a 8L diesel. Gas 6.2l engines zero problems all day long...
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.
I was AMAZED when I saw that the box states "For 12v Lead Acid Batteries"!!!
Are there that many more lead acid batteries compared to AGM, NO MAINTENACE batteries?
No caps, to unscrew and add distilled water to!
Does NOCO make one for AGM batteries?
Great review 👍👍 short & sharp❤️❤️ thank you 🙏
this would have made my day if it would have said the "strap on review"!
Thanks for the great review! I went straight to Autozone and bought one. I have a 2nd one being shipped from Amazon to me. One for the SUV and one for home when I’m not around.
I just got one at full power it took 25% battery life to charge 40% of my iPhone 10xr
Can we start a car with no battery in it, or isn't that recommended to do?
Noco GB40 Didn’t work for me. Bought after my 2015 cx5 battery was completely dead. Didn’t work after multiple attempts. After wrecker arrived he charged it with his tow truck and noticed car didn’t start after two attempts. He suggested we give it about 5 mins and then it did start.
Few notes. My car was driven about two times in the last 3 months. I last moved it about a week prior to learning car was dead. In short, will try and return.
I also noticed it took too long to initially charge this unit. About 12 hours and indicators didn’t function as should I had to repeatedly unplug cables and plug them back in. I was going to keep it and give it another try but not sure I want to throw away $100 if it doesn’t work.
Great review and loved the shirt. STONE THE CROW!!
Thanks man! Hell yeah!
@@TheSnapOnToolReview I have a question about the Noco GB-40 battery booster.I checked mine today to see how much power it had and it was at 75%.When should a person recharge it?I know that with certain batteries if you recharge them to soon it shortens their life span.Thanks.
I never done that
Great product review. I had one before but just got rid of it. The best one nowadays are the capacitor battery jumper. Autowit is so far the best one IMHO.
I like this GB40
Small with a good power
Excellent video. I’m buying one tomorrow. Thanks. from Sweden
I bought one today based on your review. Ive seen some bad reports on this jump pak here on youtube, but... I live in a cold climate and Part source here in Canada said I have a 3 month return if I dont like it, ir it does not work, so... the purchase was a no brainer. My Avenger usually starts, but at -25c and the added wind chill, it does not want to crank at all. So... I am hoping this guy can boost my 2.4L 4 cylinder. Ill report back :)
Well? Quebec here currently at -20. How's your experience with it so far? I'm thinking of buying this.
How's your experience a year later?
We are still waiting 🙃
@@jelly8594 Its still going strong. A lifesaver for sure!
@@darkknight17 great
Probably the best review on here - very thorough
I still have the old school style in my garage. It is never charged when I need it, as its old and the battery is dying. I've been thinking about upgrading to this new style for awhile.
+Karl Steev I had nothing to loose or gain by this video so I will tell you it's a great product. I've been using one for awhile now. And it's never let us down. This is the first one I've owned personally though.
I took mine out of the box before I watched this video. I plugged it into a USB charger at my house to charge the GB40 for the first time and the error LED came on steady, indicating reverse polarity! There was nothing in the manual about this situation. I pushed the buttons on the front, nothing. I unplugged it from the USB charger and the light remained on. I plugged it back in, no change, unplugged it, plugged it back in, the light remained on. But when I unplugged it and plugged it in a third time the error light went off and it started charging. Hopefully the unit isn't faulty, but I think that there was absolutely no charge in it to start with. I will leave an update later.
I must have a faulty one. I have the NoCo GB70 and it won’t even jump start a 16 HP Kohler on a triplex mower. It wouldn’t start a 16hp Briggs Vanguard either.
😂 seen your video last night woke up this morning to go to work my battery was dead could not start it up went to AutoZone and bought it and it worked like a charm thank you. Ps what’s the odds of this happening after I swashed your video my car battery dies
Haha that’s crazy!
I just bought one and it’s been charging since yesterday I think I might have to take it back it’s been on 25 percent charge since yesterday
NOCO GB 40
Didn't start my Honda 2.2 said it could start up to 3L however no luck here - was dead - the battery was at 5.7 volts and it was cold but not freezing - was not enough amps took my battery off the car and then charged overnight then put battery back on and car started - this device was not capable- I think it can start a battery with some drop in charge but not a depleted battery. I charged it all night then tried again in the morning with no battery straight to leads no start again .
I just brought one watching this great review
Good video just bought one now thanks for helping me understand how it works ✌
Great review. However, would like to see how it performs in an environment likely to actually kill your battery...ie. when it is -20 C or colder here in Canada. I have my doubts that this unit will turn over the truck when its that cold given it barely turned it over during this video.
Yup not a good unit for the money. Would not even start my snowmobile at about 15F my buddies Audew did the trick.
Some guy in the comments said it could but it drains a lot of battery, which honestly can be fixed by just plugging it in after
this is how you do a review
I have a lot of friends but today when my car battery is dead. I called them to jump it and they are all busy. So just got myself one. Amazon shiped in the same day. And today is Sunday. It is on the way. Can go nowhere untill I get my jumpster
Just ordered one
You need to show HOW YOU HOOK UP THE CABLES !! DO YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE NEG. / POS. FROM THE BATTERY " FIRST " ?? Why can't you just hook up the NOCO cables directly to the battery post ??
I bought one of this in the hope of jump starting my 2021 toyota hilux sr5, I connected all the clamps as instructed, turned the unit on and wait for the boost light to come on, then started the engine, engine turned over a little bit but unable to fully turn on, the noco then overheated and showed the exclamation light blinking, 2 bar s of battery already drained, I don't know what I did wrong, really need some help.
I hav read that it is EASIER to start a car without a battery, than with a very drained battery - because it doesn't drain the noco? Thoughts?
Both times... I never saw the override lights flashing? Was thinking that maybe they won't flash when not connected to a battery?
About to order one right now
Noco battery booster is bad ass! also you forgot to mention that they don't over boost dead batteries. most of the newer cars don't like voltage spikes. Iv seen people get jump started by a tow truck driver and they end up needing a PCM or BCM.
+Eddie Da Silva I did forget to mention that. Thanks dude!
Ugh I bought the wrong NOCO, I got the Genius 1 because the AAA guy recommend it. I need to plug the Genius 1 into an outlet to charge the car battery. Where I live I am not able to do that. The GB40 would work better for me since I can charge it in the house and then jump the car.
Good review. Love that shirt you had on. Subscribed.
i got one of these and had nothing but problems with it. It wont hold a charge and no response from Noco when contacted.
Important to note!
Yes it's a automobile battery booster & expected to be kept at full readiness should the unfortunate event occur...meaning fully charged. But keeping a lithium ion (or lithium polymer) battery fully charged for extended periods (weeks/months) without using degrades the battery because of prolonged "internal chemo/electro stress"! There is enough proof out there to suggest these battery boosters can crank a auto engine with a 'charge level' of ~65% - 75%.
Observe safe operating protocols & it should last many years...all else being reasonably good (manufacturing quality etc...).
Nice unboxing and review man. Those things are handy.
+Chaos Garage yeah bro. I'm working on getting the GB150 to review next.
I've got one they are brilliant
Can you charge the unit, through the USB port. My normal charging port is bad.
I just purchased 1 the only problem is the instructions are very small for us oldies
Hi, I just found that the model GB20 use a battery of 2150 mAh - 500 A, and the model GB40 use the same battery 2150 mAh but 1000 A ¿What does it mean? I tought 1000A would be twice the capacity of the battery of the GB20, but I guess I am wrong.
Great product! Definitely worth the investment.
Simple and straight to the point review thank you
the fob still works on a dead battery? my infinity and my cadi both stay locked if dead! in fact mine both flash a light and say "dumb ass" every time i try! idk what kinda cars u got brotha but mine stay locked!!
would have liked to have seen you use this without the boost override. Also, I thought you could hook it up to the battery and then turn it off BEFORE turning the key.......no?
7:10 LMFAO that was good
I thought you would show that battery is dead before using the jumper
How long do you turn your car engine on for after you connect the jump starter to the car?
I bought one yesterday. When I connect the clamps properly to the battery of my car CRV 2010, the red solid light is illuminated. I made sure that the positions of clamps are correct, but It is stated that it needs to reverse polarity. Do you why? Please help me if you know how to fix it. Thanks.
