NOCOBoost GB70: 2000A UltraSafe Jump Starter – 12V Lithium Battery Booster Pack, Portable Jump Box, Power Bank & Jumper Cables - for 6.0L Gas and 3.0L Diesel Engines

I've been a pro auto tech for long enough now that all the normal tools have been bought and paid for. You start looking for other things that you never really wanted to spend the money on, but always irritate you when the shop you're at doesn't have one, or the one they have sucks.I bought this because the place I was at, for a short time, reconditions and resells used cars. At any point in time we would have anywhere from 2500-5000 cars at the facility. It's a huge place, and a lot of dead batteries. On a daily basis I would need to jump start 4-10 cars. Cars ranging from tiny electric cars to diesel trucks. Out of the hundreds and hundreds of cars I've needed to jump, only one of them would the Genius not jump. And this was only due to an extreme discharge (1v), and no direct access to the battery terminals. Only tiny remote jump posts were accessible.The description claims that this will jump up to 20 cars on a single charge. I can vouch that this is an under estimate. I could use this all week, jumping 30 or more cars, before charging. I only plug it in when it reaches 25% according the to the LED indicators. On a very regular basis I would need to jump electric cars. Electric cars have a regular 12V battery for starting, and the motors run off a special battery. More often than not, the 12V battery, and the motor battery would be dead. So I would use the NOCO to start the car, then leave it connected in order to drive it to the shop (up to 1/3 mile from where cars parked). This little jump box will run an entire electric car with AC on full blast for several minutes and barely deplete its charge. However doing this multiple times throughout the day will deplete it more quickly. But if all you need to do is jump start, the charge lasts forever. Obviously you can use it in a similar way on a gasoline engine to run the car, when the alternator is bad.Only a few, very minor, points to mention. The cables are a little shorter than I'd like. This makes it more compact, but sometimes finnicky to get connected to a battery. The location, and ease of activation, of the light button make it entirely too easy to turn the light on. I found many times, I accidentally turned the light on without realizing it, and it stayed on for who knows how long until I noticed. Also it's a bit heavy to carry around. And this I only say because I had to carry it around in a backpack with other tools, and things I needed to do my job. For the normal person, the weight isn't an issue. It is by far smaller, and lighter, than the traditional jump box. And lastly, it takes a long time to fully charge. The better part of the day, if mostly depleted.So that's it. Those minor points are so minor, in no way should they deter you from buying this. I absolutely love this thing, and only hate that I waited so long to buy it.Update: Been using this now for almost 2 years. Still going strong. Working in a normal shop now, so not jump starting batteries every day. The charge still lasts forever. Also use to bench test starters. I now charge it probably once a month. It never goes dead, but if I see the charge is depleted when I use it, I will throw it on the charger. Still the best jump box I've ever used.Update: I bought this in March 2017. I'm now buying a second one. I want one for home now, so I'm getting the new one for work, and taking the old one home. I'll still love this jump box. Still working on cars, still jump starting cars on the daily. Now that this box is nearing 5 years old, the battery does need charged more often. Think of your old smart phone. But it's still kicking strong. The cables are still annoyingly short. I charge this every few weeks, and use it pretty much daily. The rest of my previous review still stands strong. The only difference now, is I have to charge it more often because the battery is so old. But still perfect for home use, and now I'll have a fresh new one for work.

I got this for myself to keep in my car during camping trips, and it already paid off big time. While out at Joshua Tree, my buddy’s car wouldn’t start and this thing jumped it in seconds without any hassle. It’s small but real powerful, and super easy to use even if you never used one before. The built-in flashlight helped us out too since it was getting dark. I’m glad I had it with me—now I never go on a road trip without it. Works great and def worth the money.

I purchased an older unit (GB70 2000A) because of the negative reviews for the newer models having USB-C charging and USB-C PD. I'm a little bummed about that, but the unit itself is FANTASTIC!As soon as it arrived, I charged it fully, then took it out to the back half for testing on a few vehicles. None had a dead battery, so I completely disconnected the batteries, and started the following vehicles: a 3.3L V6 Caravan, a 2.4L inline 4 PT Cruiser, Cummins 5.9L Diesel in an old Dodge Ram, a 7.3L PowerStroke diesel in an old Ford, and then an old bus with an inline 6 DT466 mechanical diesel (7.6L).The 2000A unit started them all EASILY, and never faltered. The unit's battery level still showed a full charge afterwards. (For reference, less energy is needed for starting when a vehicle's dead battery is disconnected first, as none is used bringing the main battery's charge up a little)And then, this unit went on a 3+ week adventure and saved our bacon when our main vehicle battery started getting weaker and weaker. We had to use it a few times to get going again!REALLY great unit, if maybe a little bulky for everyday travel in the matching case. However it's GREAT for a shop, garage, or on those long adventures when you really might need it.I think it's time to buy another, smaller one to keep with me everywhere.

Works absolutely fantastic! Started a dead battery that had been dead for months. Well built and tough. The only problem is it comes with no manual at all, you have to go online and it's all in fine print. Kinda ridiculous

More powerful than advertised. Awesome product.I am ecstatic that I've purchased such a needed product for unexpected emergencies like the one I've recently experienced with no one around to help me when the truck wouldn't start and it needed to be moved because the street sweeper was on it's way and I would've received a huge ticket (wasted money) being parked on the street. Great functionality of the buttons, cables, extremely bright LED lights, very handy with a bag to keep it clean, and easy to store in any vehicle, and home.
