Been looking for another Booster Battery Pack since my last one died a year or so ago. I can't remember the brand name of the unit I had, but it was big, heavy, and kind of bulky. It did the job when needed but the booster battery did not last very long between charges. So since I am a gadget kind of person, I wanted another and started my research. The technology has changed quite a bit since my last booster pack purchase. I ran across the "1000 Amp UltraSafe Lithium Ion Jump Starter" from NOCO - specifically the model GB40. It's small, lightweight, and is Lithium powered. Just the right size for my needs.
Ordered one a couple of weeks ago and I'm impressed. This model was a little pricey, but if you search around you can find some good deals. At this time the MSRP is $124.95, but I found it online for $95 shipped to my door. I'm impressed to say the least. Impressed so that I'm ordering another for the wife's car. Simple enough for her to use if needed - without the worry of her hooking it up backwards.
I do keep my jumper cables handy just in case their needed. I have one GB40 unit it in my Tundra and I pack it in my motorcycle bag in case I, or anyone else, ever needs a jump start. It will also charge my electronic devices if needed. Pretty good piece of mind when out on the road or in the middle of nowhere. So far I have jumped started my neighbors lawn tractor and a friends car - no problem.
Tech specs for NOCO:
The GB40 is a compact, yet powerful 1,000 Amp lithium-ion jump starter that delivers 7,000 Joules of starting power. Its patented safety technology features spark-proof technology and reverse polarity protection making it safe for anyone to use. Designed for use with gas engines up to 6 liters and diesel engines up to 3 liters and doubles as a portable power source for recharging smartphones, tablets and more.
