I bought one of these last year. I've used it several times this winter when it dropped down to -44c in central Alberta. Great thing to have. It boosted my 93 caddy on first try. Several neighbours cars as well. I'm retired so I don't drive much. Especially in these temps. Just wanted to give the fluids a stir, while car is plugged in. Sign your organ donor cards at these temps.
When you turn on the power then push the red button, you override all safety functions. The override button should only be used when your battery is so low that regular charging procedures do not work. Push the power button AFTER you’ve hooked up the clamps to the battery
THANK YOU!!!!! Broke down suddenly at a gas station and the car wouldn't crank back up after getting gas. It was me and my son and I had this but haven't used it yet. So I googled how to and your vehicle got us out of traffic and out of the way of people needing gas and got us home safely so we GREATLY appreciate it.
Last time you did a review on a Noco product I end up purchasing one myself lol. Thanks for taking the time to review Dino. It’s certainly a product that I have been wanting to add to the car as you just never know when you need it. Noco is a solid brand and I don’t recall ever seeing any negatives regarding them Thanks again mate
Cheers Jason the noco is a real great unit but I don’t mean for you to purchase one if you not need it as these are a pricey unit . This is plenty enough for the little 2 litre express van . Hope Everything is well with you and your family mate and thanks for your continued support 👍🍻
I bought this gb40 worked beautifully for my 2.4 L Camry. Battery was not completely dead" but too low to start the engine. Won't travel without it now
Cheers mate I also have the itechworld 2000 amp . It’s still going well . I only got this noco as I 0n;y got the 2 litre engine in the express. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Another excellent video. I have the GB50 it’s a great device. On my unit the instructions say that the boost function is only used when the battery is dead flat. Normally the unit will detect its connected to the battery and the white LED will light up. If it doesn’t, then you use boost. Boost bypasses all the units protection functions. Your model maybe different.
Yeah, this is incorrect. Go watch the NOCO videos. This dude is bypassing all the safety features unnecessarily, the unit auto boosts unless your battery is under 2v then you have to manual boost. Also, first connect to the battery and then switch it on.
I have the GB40 and I love it. But that red button with the ! on it is NOT the boost button! It is the SAFETY OVERRIDE button. You hit the power button and it is ready to go. You are telling people to shut off the built in safety. That is only used if the battery to be boosted has a voltage below 2 volts. Sorry but you have to read the instructions. You are giving bad advise. If you hook the booster up backwards and don't know what that little white light is telling you and you push the red override button it probably isn't going to end well.🙁 Sorry I just didn't want anybody to destroy there booster but then every body should read the instructions.👍
Awesome mate . Just remember to check it now and then as my itechworld loses about 10% charge over 3 months while it’s stored in your vehicle . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
As usual great review. I wonder how many jump starts the Noco unit will do before its batteries are knackered? They claim 20 starts before requiring recharging, but I'm talking about longevity of the cells assuming you don't discharge them too low, i.e. you recharge them after each use. There is a discharge limit from lithium polymer cells, high discharge rated cells can be up to 35C or even 50C so the 4AH Noco unit will deliver 140A and maybe even 200A for a short period if they use appropriate high discharge LiPo cells. However on their website they claim 24Wh for the GB40 which makes it 2AH, not 4AH. I wonder what that's about? The GB70 is claimed to have a 56Wh capacity which is a capacity of 4.7AH at 12V The 1000A rating emblazoned on the unit is probably a one time only rate. i.e pull 1000A, put it in the bin. I'm not sure what the Noco instructions say, but I would expect they will want the car battery to be connected when jump starting to add whatever starter current it can on top of the Noco. All their images show that too. I think the eBay units at half the price are using low quality or non high discharge cells...so more likely to catch fire than start the car. Like you said, don't waste your money, at best they may start a car - once. Also you highlighted that its important to get the right unit for your car. Bigger engines usually pull more current to start, so the "2000A" unit may be able to deliver 280 - 400A for short bursts. Thanks for the Video, I have somewhat more confidence in Noco now, but for the 3L diesel I think I need to shell out for the GB150 if I was to go this way.
Just watched a video of a chap that started an Isuzu Trooper many, many times with a 3 year old Noco. I will link below if the channel allows it. ua-cam.com/video/jw3A9-YGrZQ/v-deo.html
Best how to use video on You tube.. I just bought this product today to use on my motorcycle - my car and my truck - and any family and friends if I’m in the right place at the right time - cheers for the upload explains everything in for detail 👌✅🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for your comment. I hope you have great use out of the product same as me . I’m just a consumer and in no way make any money out of the sales of the booster . Thanks for watching my video 👍🍻
will the white indicator light come on if you attach to a car battery even if it doesnt need to be boosted? the reason im asking is bc we recently had -40 degree weather and it killed my car, i purchased this but never seen after the weather warmed up if my car would start; so i just automatically boosted it without checking first. So I am curious about that if you would know?
I had to unclamp the negative side to get the boost to start up when I hit the red lightning bolt button, then clamped the negative side back on and it started it right up. Hope this helps
Worked well for me, although annoying they use a usb 2 instead of 3 charging cable which takes longer to charge. Luckily I had the time after buying it from the store.
I've been looking at these...will it completely charge a phone or lippy? To get an idea of the capacity. I'm thinking of a tarago (prefered) or kia carnival . I want to do Isa trips to see Son and like cruise control
Cheers . Had mine probably sitting for about 3 months and it was still fully charged . I use this as portable power as well for charging phone’s etc. thanks for watching 👍🍻
Awesome! I was hoping you said something like that. I bought it without any research and was worried. I’m shocked how good it is for how small it is. Appreciate your reply Cheers
Do i have to turn the boost power button off first before removing the clamps? I did that today but then the car powered off but when i removed the jump leads with the car running the car did not power off, can someone help?
How were your clamps? Were they hard to open. I just ordered these on Amazon and used it for the first time. It worked great but the clamps were so hard to open that I thought my hands would break. I had to use heavy duty gloves to do open them. A man on the reviews said the same thing. So I’m thinking maybe it’s defective and I should exchange it.
yes the clamps are hard to open. they are not faulty as they need to be firmly clamped to your battery terminals when jump starting your vehicle. try using two hands when using the clamps . hope this helps and thanks for watching 👍🍻
6:39 I have a question, new to cars here - if it can only supply 16 Amp hours, how can it start a dead battery when they need at least 500 cold current amps (CCA) to start? I know I'm missing a lot here, would really appreciate if anyone would care to lend some info
Around 4 amp hours of total storage but these can put out high cranking amps for a short time . Yes it’s amazing how they work . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
@@EFFICIENTSELF I did some more research so your response makes perfect sense. its amazing how much you can learn about your car on the internet these days. cheers!
I dont know if you seen the whole video but at 4:15 I demonstrated this unit with a battery disconnected to show this thing working cranking a 4 cylinder motor. You either have a faulty unit or the engine is too big for the unit you have .. have a look into it and hopefully you get it sorted 👍 thanks for watching 👍🍻
Done another video on the bigger noco unit and it’s awesome. It’s the noco boost hd 2000 amp jump starter ua-cam.com/video/0iz3g2_D1sI/v-deo.html

Great review mate.
I have the ITechWorld 2000 jump starter.
Great deal at half price for $175.
Needed for a 2.5 diesel.
That Noco looks a solid unit.

I can just ditto some other comments. Very good succinct instructional on this unit. Waiting on a delivery as we speak.
Awesome. The unit will not disappoint. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Thanks Dino, great review mate, Seeya Rob
Cheers rob thanks for watching 👍🍻
I"m in central Alberta. Canada..... its -30c today. Biggest challenge was getting it out of the box, eh! great video. eh! Crikey!
Keep warm there thats absolutely freezing 🥶
@@EFFICIENTSELF sure is, that's why you plug the car in, battery blanket, etc. gasoline antifreeze, and always have a back up battery source.
I have this unit and it is great. Agree that people have to be careful with cheap units. Not worth relying on when $hit hits the fan.
Cheers nas i actually only just purchased this , then your video came up showing in one of your day 4wd trips . Hope all has been well mate 👍🍻
Thanks!

Bought one of these the 1000A unit and found it to be utterly useless. It would not start the vehicle. Returned to the store for a refund 👍
The red exclamation point is NOT boost, it's SAFETY OVERRIDE!! You only need to use it if your battery is too dead to be detected.
