Jump Boxes- Lithium vs Conventional 

Hate the conventional jump boxes. The batteries always fail and have to replace them. Had the Noco GP150 for 4 years and works 99% of the time.

The new noco GBX line outputs 14-15 volts instead of 12. It makes a huge difference. I haven’t had a car it would not jump start yet.

I'm a DIYer and I have both type and keep both types in my vehicles. The downside of the lithiums is, as stated in video, they only work if car battery is only mildly discharged (dim headlights as opposed to no headlights, or crank/click vs crank and crickets). This means that half the time the lithium will fail to jump start a car. Another downside to lithiums is they only last a year before they just don't hold a charge anymore. If I could only have one type, it would be the conventional type.

Couldn't disagree more. NOCO GB70 is enough to start a 6.4L PowerStroke (with no battery). You just have to RTFM and disable the safety, so that it can provide the full current.

I wouldn't buy that orange Mac jump box..... The Shop would!

Just a note on the gbx series, it turns off after 60 sec. So if you have a car not charging you can't drive it into the shop. The older gb series will stay on. I have the gb70 and it has worked very well.

some of the new jumpstarters are so idiotproofed they won't let you start a completely dead battery it won't come on if it does not detect some voltage hooked up correctly, so the better ones have a button to force it to work but not all have that.

noco 4000a never failed me and i use it everyday as roadside assist

I Just Had to Buy a Battery For My Jump Box.

i have never not been ever to jump a gasoline car or a diesel bobcat engine with mine lol i had more issues with those big jump boxes instead lmao

Going to pick one of these up plus great deal.Great video Mike as always everyone have a great weekend.

I agree they both have their place. I have a GB40 NOCO I keep in my glove box or the saddle bag of the motorcycle. Hasn’t let me down yet 🙏

Thank you. This was exactly the review I needed to convince me to buy a lead acid box. You guys can stop searching now.

Hi Guys!!! Based on Project Farm's testing of jump starters, I purchased an Audew 2000A, Peak 20,000mAh jump starter. It's been great! Never had a problem with it. It supposedly jumps engines up to 8.5L diesel.

You need to try the 4000amp Noco. I use that one all the time and it works just as good as my AC Delco lead acid box.

I worked at a place where the jump pack was just three group 31 batteries wired parallel with a battery tender hooked up. You just had to remember to plug it in every night.

We've use the Noco GB150 for about 4 years at our shop. Only one truck that it would not start. Started a bunch of cars literally with no battery installed. Need a battery maintainer for testing and charging but the Noco hasn't let us down

We've had a JNC 1700 at the audi dealer I work at for about 6-7 years, still works every time. Only caviot is if its a totally dead 3.0tdi, then u may have to double up on jnc's or get the seat up. Other than that well worth it.

Thank you mike for those informations!!!

I have the Noco max and it's absolutely incredible. I can start up to 5 of our completely dead ISX 15 trucks
