Which one does everyone like? Google search seems to be flooded with sponsored ads lately.

Would like real world insight. The NOCO Genius boost seemed like a good unit.

I want To be able to jump start anything from a motorcycle to a RV.

Thoughts?

I have the NOCO GB150 and it would start my my 7.3 Powerstroke when it was -10* without issue whatsoever. I use it at work all the time to start forklifts, man baskets, trash pumps etc. I have yet to find anything 12v it wouldn’t start.

I've had several brands. Only the NOCO's hold up. Get the higher capacity ones. Nothing to go cheap-o on.
Recharge them monthly or after every use - It's essential.

NOCO’s are tops but be careful storing them in vehicles in 100+ degrees. I’d store it in a fire safe bag like the lithium batteries are stored



Thanks Guys! You never “need one” until you do!

Kids were playing in the garage and left they key on on the new quad. Fiddling with jumper cables and moving cars around got me on the hunt.



I’ll pick up a hi amperage one for the house too.

We have the NOCO GP70, I think. It will start up to a 6.o diesel, so they say.
I have used it a no gas burners a couple of times, but haven't tried it on the diesel.
I would buy again, and will get a smaller one to haul in the RZR at some point.

Remember it has the Armageddon button next to the on button for a temp super blast of power.

I just bought a 2000 amp one on Amazon. It was on sale. We've had it for a few weeks and it hasn't dropped charge (has a digital charge meter) or given any issues starting our escalade when we had some battery issues
