My model of car is notorious for being a battery-drainer and I knew there would come a day I needed it. It is Christmas Eve and today was the day that I found a dead battery (of course, on a day I am not about to go get a new battery) but it was exactly zero problem because this Noco had me up and running in mere seconds with an instant start!\n\nIt holds a charge a long, LONG time and I have only freshened up the charge every 4 months or so, whether it needed it or not since I hadn't used it. Even before I needed it I was impressed enough to give one to each of my adult daughters this Christmas and now I have 100% confidence that if they are ever stuck they can get going immediately! No more stringing jumper cables between stranger's cars on a dark night, no trying to remember the order of connection between cars, no fear of just getting out there and doing it themselves. Everyone should have one of these in their emergency roadside kit!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "One of the Top 10 greatest vehicle gadgets I've ever purchased for any car or truck I've owned.\nA must have especially for roadtrips and or if you have an older battery. Bought this for our 4th Gen Toyota 4Runner. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to use this for six months every time we started the truck as the battery we wanted wasn't available. Kept the NOCO charged properly and it never failed.\nDRIVING TIP.\nbuy one of these for a long road trip. Also, buy one for everyone you care about that drives, especially if they drive at night or when the clocks change and it gets dark earlier in the evening, late afternoon. You won't have to worry their car battery died and they're sitting in a parking lot or side of the road.\nIt's also great for an emergency charge of your phone or other mobile device. It also has a nice bright LED lite and LED flasher. However, I'd recommend NOT getting into the habit of using it for your mobile devices as you might just need it one day to jump start your car and might not have recharged it in a whlle. Buy another type of extra battery charge for your mobile and entertainment devices. Use this just for emergencies.\nThey have small amp models and larger ones too. With this type of emergency device, bigger is better. Get at least the 1000 amp,\nI'd love to test out the other products NOCO makes. This one is spot on perfect."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'So far this is an awesome find. 7,000 joules and 1,000 amps. Heavy duty clamps. The cords are short but the unit is so small and lightweight that I could put it right near the battery jump hookups. My 5.3L V8 had a very dead battery. Nothing would light up on the dash. There was not even a hint of the engine trying to start when I turned the key. The NOCO initially would not work but then I read the instructions which said that for safety concerns it looked for at least 2V or it would not engage. I used their manual override and then the car started right away. The battery was so dead that I had to hold an elevated engine idle for a while. This shows how dead the battery was, but the NOCO did the job. Very impressive. It only weighs 2.6 pounds which is about one-tenth the weight of equivalent battery jumpers.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I bought the Noco GB40 a few days ago for my father and I am highly impressed. He has a GMC 5.7L V8 Savana van and has had some intermittent battery issues (something slowly draining the battery). After charging the GB40 I tested it on the van.\n\nA jump starter for the average driver is not something that you readily use, however it is very important that it works when you need it the most. In testing, I removed the side post connectors and hooked up the GB40. Then in manual override I was able to start the van. There was a slight hesitation, however it did start within the first 3 seconds.\n\nI have used other battery jump starters and this was the only one that I found that would start his van.\n\nSince the rating for the GB40 is towards the upper limit of his van, I bought another Noco, this time the GB70 for him. I didn't want to take any chances of it not starting (although it did without the battery). I will just keep the GB40 for my Jeep Renegade.\n\nIn conclusion, this review is for the GB40. The Noco products are VERY well made and the clamps are excellent. Well worth the price and highly recommended."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is an honest review of this item, which I purchased full price on Amazon.com:\n\nI bought this as an alternative to jumper cables our vehicles emergency kits. As you all know jumper cables require you to have another vehicle, these do not. This comes in very handy when you are alone out somewhere, at night with minimal help around.\n\nFrom my testing on our 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i (OLD BATTERY, Replaced now) I was able to jump it 9x without any problems. I then tested its cellphone recharging ability, I was able to charge my iPhone 8 Plus full 5x without any problems.\n\nI was able to recharge the jump pack via usb in about 9hrs, after the first use and recharge I preformed the tests again with pretty much identical results minus one phone charge.\n\nFor the price, this is the best bang for your buck jump pack you can buy. Its compact size is also a huge benefit! So if you are in the market for a jump pack, consider this one first!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Put it in the center console of my truck for emergency use. Today, I opened the console to get something out and noticed that it was dead and bloated! Looks like classic lithium battery failure. Good thing it didn’t set my track on fire.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " Surprisingly light and small. Charged quickly and was ready to roll. My Jeep Wrangler battery was dead, so I made a video of me trying to jump it. It turns out I needed to leave the GB40 connected to my battery terminals for a minute or so before the engine was ready to turn over.\n\nI used the GB40 three times in one day (I was intentionally seeing how it would perform) and the charge was down to the 75% mark. After the first jump (needing to keep the battery connected for a minute), the two other jumps were instant. My batter probably just needed more help on the first jump.\n\nI'm very impressed with how lightweight and well-made the product feels. You may want to ensure the clamps reach your positive and negative/ground posts, since they don't have a lot of reach between them. They fit a standard battery easily. My wife's vehicle has the ground post separated from the exposed positive terminal on her battery, but it still reached without issue.\n\nNote - these come with a USB cable to charge it, but it does NOT come with an AC wall charger. I used an AC USB wall charger (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JHZXCQD) to charge two of these at once (one for me, one for my wife) - they simultaneously charged to 100% in less than three hours."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Had high hopes. I had the unit for a few months and kept the battery charged then it hit, dead battery..I tried to jump my Silverado for it's first use hooked it up I hit the key and nothing! I let the unit charge the battery for a few and still nothing! I checked the Noco unit and it's indicating that the battery on the Noco is dead! I didn't even get an attempt to start from my truck and the Noco boost is dead. After a quick jump from another car I got back on the road took the Noco unit home and tried to charge it. 2 days of being plugged in the unit is still showing less than 25% battery it refuses to charge. I've determined it's not reliable enough at this point to try a replacement. I would highly suggest you look up this unit on YouTube as there are several videos showing issues with this product."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "Drained the battery on my 2016 Toyota 4Runner (4 liter V6) from listening to the radio, to the point it wouldn't start but windows and radio still worked. Thought it was a good chance to try the jump pack. Hook it up, fully charged, and all LED's indicate it was ready to go. Didn't do a thing, was basically no different than not having it hooked up. Fortunately found this out shortly after receiving it, so it's going back. Disappointed but not entirely surprised."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I use a Genius battery tender so this was the brand I searched for. Rattling around in the trunk for a year, it got me started without breaking a sweat. The second time I had to use it, my battery was dead at 6 volts out of 12. The little charger couldn't start the truck and kept connecting and disconnecting with an overcurrent problem. I decided to let the device do its thing. I kept it on the dead battery for 15 minutes and it finally cranked over and started. Amazing. It took every drop of juice this little gizmo cold muster and it brought back a battery from the dead safely and automatically and got me unstuck.\n\nBest money spent. If it ever dies, I'll replace it with the same brand without hesitation."}]
