(Head-to-Head) NOCO GB70, HULKMAN 10.0, HULKMAN 8.5, AVAPOW 6000A, FOXPEED G29, ACMOUNT JUMP STARTER 

We have countless videos showing that the Noco GB70 struggles only on our 2004 Cadillac Deville V8 with NorthStar, it works great on every other car we have used it on. We had a great connection in this video when we hooked up the Noco GB70. We were told by a number of people that there may be compatibility issues with the Noco GB70 and the Caddy V8 internals. Also, just because one person has a positive experience with the Noco (or any product), doesn't mean everyone is going to have a positive experience, it just doesn't work that way unfortunately. When we hook up our portable jump starters we always check to see if we have a bad connection first before we attempt to start, and we also always give a portable jump starter multiple chances. So, in our videos, it's extremely rare that we have a bad connection since we are constantly making sure we do not have a bad connection before we attempt to jump start. We always try to give the unit the benefit of the doubt and check all basis when it doesn't work correctly. We are not ones to bash any company, as you hear from the way we speak about all products. We appreciate the comment.

I wonder what is up with that GB70 usually they are rated pretty good. wierd@@HM_RELOADED

@@jeffhogueison1656I just watched another video where the guy totally removed the battery cables from the battery of his 5.7 Ram Hemi truck; he connected a GB40 and hit the force / boost button, and the unit itself was able to start the 5.7 Hemi. With no battery connected whatever other than the GB40.

@townhall05446 It all depends on the internals of the vehicle, because usually it would be difficult for a Noco GB40 to jump start a 5.7 liter hemi, especially just the connections. Our GB70 is hit or miss on our Cadillac V8, only the connections. So, in all actuality, just because a product worked well on one vehicle doesn't mean that same jump starter will work on someone else's vehicle with the same engine size, know what I mean. Everyone has different experiences with whatever portable jump starter they are using. Its weird because my Noco GB 70 & Noco GB150 work on just about all 4, 6 and 8 cylindet engines, but for some odd reason both units are hit or miss on my Caddy V8 with the Northstar system. I was told by the team who make Irihup portable jump starters, that it depends on your battery layout if some jump starters will work properly or not. They said because our battery layout is under the back seat, thats why certain jump starters struggle. Now i dont know if what they said is factual or not, but something is causing the Noco jump starters not to work properly only on my Caddy V8. We thank you for your comment.

Thank you very much

You are absolutely correct. Thanks for the comment

You're very welcome...Enjoy

The Hulkman is a great buy, you will be very happy. Good luck with it my friend. Happy Holiday

You are very welcome. Happy Holiday

@@HM_RELOADED 4U2 my friend !!👍

No commission here, my friend. When I make a video, it's an honest one, I don't hold back when testing a product. Noco makes a great jump starter, but for some reason, the Noco GB70 is hit or miss Only on my 2004 Cadillac Deville V8. It works flawlessly on every other car I have used it on. The Hulkman 85S & 10.0 I have absolutely loved since they came out because they are very well made and heavy-duty. Which portable jump starter do you prefer? Thanks for the comment

ACMOUNT is a great inexpensive jump starter with a boost

Thanks

Our Avapow 6000A is a first generation model without the Boost button, at a result it does not jump start a completely dead battery. The newer Avapows have a boost button and can start a completely dead battery. Thanks for the comment

Avapow actually sent me the Avapow 6000A over a year ago for review & testing purposes. You would of thought they would have sent us an up to date unit with a Boost button since we were going to be showing the video om RU-vid. Hopefully they send my the newer version with the Boost button, this way we could test out the full functionality of the unit. Thanks for the comment

In my previous videos with Hulkman 10.0 the unit said Ready a few times and the Hulkman 10.0 had an issue not jump starting, that's why we came to the conclusion we must have had a bad connection. Just because it says Ready doesn't mean it will jump start, we found that out the hard way. With the Noco, we found that there must be something wrong with the internals of the Cadillac V8 since we have jumped that vehicle thousands of times. It seems that my Noco is the only jumper that is hit or miss Only on the 2004 Cadillac V8 for whatever reason. The manual says if the lights are chasing on the Noco and you could hear the clicking of the module, the Noco is ready to jump start. So, I just go by what I read in the manual, that's how I base how to use it on. My Noco GB70 starts anything up to 8L except it has issues with the Caddy. Appreciate the comment!

Also, with our Noco videos in the past it didn't matter if we pushed the Boost and the white light blinked or not, the Caddy v8 would not take a jump start from the Noco GB70 either way. I have been using the Noco GB70 correctly since day 1, I followed the step by step directions in the manual, as well as watching other RU-vid videos. I am not the only person who has had issues with their Noco, not jump starting certain v8 vehicles. I don't know if my Noco is just losing power or if it's my Caddy V8 internals like I said. But either way, I appreciate you watching. Calm down. Lol

We did the same tests on the V8 over and over with pretty much the same results. For the last year the Noco GB70 has been hit or miss only on the 2004 Caddy V8 for whatever reason. I have numerous videos showing sometimes the Noco GB70 has no trouble jump starting the V8, and other times it can't jump start the Caddy V8 all day. I have seen other people with certain brand jump starters have similar issues on their vehicles as well. Its just odd how the GB70 jump starts all my other vehicles 4, 6 or 8L, but it struggles with my Caddy V8 most of the time. We will figure it out one day, I hope. Thanks for the comment

Thanks for the info, Happy New Year

Thank you very much

My 3 foot Frankenstein cables work great, with no issues with them. And you are correct the longer the cables, the less power they produce, but being the jump starters are advertised at 2000, 4000 and 6000A for a split second, there should be no issues. Also, we know the advertised amperage on these jump starters is not accurate. Lol. Thanks for the comment

Unfortunately, there is no boost button, and no digital voltage readout on the cable module on the Avapow 6000A which I believe is the reason it cannot start a completely dead battery. The Avapow 6000A can definitely jump start a partially dead battery, but when you're out in the field you never know if you're going to have a completely dead battery, or partially dead battery. All jump starters should have the capability of jump starting a completely dead battery, since they are basically useless otherwise. We did a video in the past that shows the Hulkman 10.0 vs Gooloo GT4000.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BfX00HhR1BQ.html

@@HM_RELOADED To my knowledge, the 2023 models of the AVAPOW now have the "boost" button. With that button, I've seen it jump a bunch of bigger things. Kind of gave it a bad name early on (and rightly so) EDIT: Just read other comments by you more recently where you address this. Idk why Avapow would even think that's a good idea. So dumb to have a limited jump pack.

@@Ka_Gg The Avapow 6000A first generation jump packs do not have a boost button, but the newer generation Avapow 6000A have a boost button to jump completely dead batteries. You are so right; I do not understand why a company would put a jump starter on the market that didn't have a boost button. But to be fair to Avapow, they were probably in the midst of working out the kinks on their older Avapow 6000A A68 models and fix the issues those models were having. Many companies will put out a product not realizing their issues are a major problem until its already on the market, that's what most likely happened here.

@@HM_RELOADED Yeah I picked one up. I don't like how these jump boxes have all the safety stuff. I can start a dead vehicle on it for about 20 seconds. If no other battery or alternator it'll die.

I read many reviews of that Avapow failing after trying to use it after sitting from charge a few months later. probably because it has bad batteries which have a high self discharge rate.

The Cadillac Deville V8 has 1 battery under the back seat. There are secondary connections under the hood, but there is no physical battery under the hood.

GDII???

Look around the internet, there are many, many people who have had issues with Noco being hit or miss on certain vehicles, I am not the only one. And if you have watched our videos, you would know I do not hate on Noco, I actually love my Noco GB70, I am merely showing how the Noco GB70 sometimes starts my 2004 Cadillac V8, and sometimes it doesn't.

Yes I jus bought one from ebay I have yrr to see if be actually works but I need to find out by egor I can't be return it

@@RoadHeros610 The Noco GB70 is a great jump starter, don't get me wrong, but for whatever reason the GB70 struggles on my 2004 Cadillac deville V8. I don't know if the internals in my car are affecting the jump starter or what's happening. The Noco is a great unit to buy

Well actually had the opportunity to try the ole Noco out on my 2008 Volkswagen Touareg it was showing 8v didn't start it 🥺😓😥also on my 2007 Gl450..but I suspect it had more trying issues .. so I think I'm go in ng to send it back

Yes it can. Noco GB70 can jump start up to 8.0L gas & 6L diesel. The Noco GB70 has a boost button to push when your battery is completely dead

Thanks sir, I've been following your channel for a while, looking for a good recommendation. I hope it works.

@FreshETN Thank you so much for the support. More videos to come. Happy Holiday. Good Luck with your new Noco. The better brand jump starters are Noco, Hulkman, Gooloo and Fanttik, just to name a few..Let me know how well it works.

@@HM_RELOADED I had to come back and give a shout out. That Noco GB70 started my car with ease. Thank you. No more connecting two cars with long cables .

@FreshETN Thats awesome, Noco is a good product, I knew you would be happy.

Thank you. I appreciate the support. Happy New Year to you

Glad you liked it, thanks for your support....Ugghhhh

Hulkman is a great unit. Thanks for the comment
