In this video we're going to be looking at a Noco Boost Plus GB40 Lithium Jump Starter. It was advertised on eBay as not turning on and not charging.
Let's get it on the blue mat and see if I can figure out what's wrong with it and hopefully repair it!
I'm not an expert, but I do enjoy trying to fix things.

@vadimbellous8313 7 месяцев назад

Those wires flapping in the breeze carry no risk of shorting out. You see, the relay (black box) next to the row of MOSFETs is breaking the connection for the positive lead. For those wires to go live, that relay must be engaged. That why when you have the clamps on your car battery nothing will happen until you press that button giving the booster the OK to switch on that relay. He should have explained it, though. I'm sure you were not the only one wondering why no fireworks.

@BuyitFixit 7 месяцев назад

It was fine, they were isolated via the relay and only get powered if the relay gets energised.

@TylerDurden-pk5km 7 месяцев назад

@@BuyitFixit Were both ground and plus isolated/switched?

@BuyitFixit 7 месяцев назад

Yes, the positive wire went through the relay and the negative seemed to go through a bank of mosfets, although they could have been diodes for reverse polarity protection (I didn't investigate that part too much).

Awesome troubleshooting skills! I must say that a true killer would have asked about the little red button!!! A little Fifth element reference there btw. FYI all you have to do is connect the jump starter, turn it on and not use the little red button unless you are sure you have the battery connected properly. The red button bypasses the built in protections such as reverse polarity protection and delivers full amps to what you are connected to!!!

This episode was like watching an explosive tech defuse an IED. On the edge of my seat and cringing. Whenever I have to work with lithium "spicy pillows" I keep a sand bucket with a metal lid near so I can ditch them if they start burning. A bucket of water works well also to buy some time to get the flaming spicy pillows out the door before they smoke up your shop.

By the way, it detects automatically when to go into boost mode - pressing the boost button pits in to manual mode and energizes the 12V output. If you have a flat battery you can just connect the battery and have it detect the connection (same would apply when you connected it to the starter).

You can save a lot of time and frustration when trying to locate a mechanically flaky joint by using a small insulated probe instead of your finger.

Your dedication to fault finding is on another level. You couldn’t give up. You never felt defeated. By shear determination, you got it. Plug it in to see if it works and does the job. You succeeded. I was gonna buy the same model for my son at Halfords. As for NOCO, if a NOCO rep is watching this video, you could have a bucket load of returns, just because the internals are just not up to the job. A normal person, just ain’t gonna do what you did. Customers will buy, find it’s not doin it’s job, return it shop. What a DISASTER for NOCO This video is excellent. Keep up the good work. MEND IT MARK was probably watching this video and sayin, check this first then check that out next.

@robertbackhaus8911 6 месяцев назад

This sort of thing just happens, and isn't a quality problem. A chip that is faulty, installed in a product, does its job well enough to pass QC testing, then fails in the field. A manufacturer can't avoid this - what matters is their return policies. We don't know anything about this pack, but it is likely that this is a returned device. Maybe returned to Amazon, who sold it in one of their returns pallets.

And another good repair. You do a very good job of finding faults that even the manufacturers do not know about. Call to the manufacturer; can I get a battery replacement? Manufacturer said; No just chuck it into the bin. Hobbyist says; Oh, I will fix it then. Manufacturer says; no, no, no! Hobbyist says; I have already fixed it. Manufacturer says; How did you do that? Hobbyist says; I do not give out any secrets. Repairs are good for products that even some manufacturers do not know about.

@BuyitFixit 3 месяца назад

Thanks 👍I'm not sure if you saw the FLIR thermal camera video, or the Solar inverter I repaired and then I needed a service code which they wouldn't give me ("no password, no problem" video).

@Runco990 7 месяцев назад

It is a mis-conception that you should keep lithium batteries fully charged. This is TRUE for lead acid chemistry due to sulphation. But Lithium cells actually last the longest if you keep them around 80% or less. This is also why their storage voltage is kept low. The industry charges these cells to their near theoretical limits due to squeezing max power at the cost of life time. Because that's what the public wants, maximum run time. However, in critical applications such as medical and military, lithium cells are always "undercharged" for max reliability. And your car will still start just fine! 🙂

@markpirateuk 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, the supplied manual says nothing about battery maintenance, I just assumed it would be the same as my old jump pack that used SLA batteries.@@Runco990

I bought the exact same jumper pack when I had problems starting my car. It really worked well, I got fed up constantly jumping the car so bought a new car battery, which solved the non starting. I charged the NOCO up put it in it's pouch and plopped it into ny glove compartment thinking it would come in handy for jumping cars or the flash light. It was forgotten for a few months until I wanted to use it on a neighbours car, it showed 1 bar and refused to jump anything, the flash light was very dim. So I thought I would put it on charge and a big no go, the light flashed 1 bar and didn't go up after 2 hours charge. I know I couldn't fix it, but opened the back just in case it was something obvious wrong. When unscrewing the back the case sprung open, the battery had puffed up so much, the pressure had pushed the back open. I didn't fancy playing about with LIPO batteries as they are volatile to say the least, I took the NOCO to a local recyclers to be exposed with. So if you have one of these and put it in your glove compartment,, take it out regularly and charge it. I dread to think how many of these chargers are forgotten in glove compartments or stuffed in the car boot, and they are puffing up ready to ignite in a ball of flames.

Thanks for commenting👍. Good advice, and I bet you are right about lots of these ending up forgotten about and puffing up.

Same hapened to me, I bought it to start my car, got fed up using this every morning, so bought a new car battery. I charged the NOCO up put it in it's pouch, threw it in my glove compartment and forgot it. After a few months, my sons car would not start, the NOCO was flat and it never charged up again, took it to bits and the battery had blown up so much it was pressing hard against the case. In the battery recycling centre it went, If I have a flat battery in the future I'll either charge the car battery or use jump leads maybe even buy a good old fashioned lead acid jump box

This may be the answer why some of my 20v tool batteries wont charge, even after fully charging the 18650 cells individually. Enjoyed every minute of this video, thank you so much.

Thanks Rory👍I wasn't too sure how this one would go, as a fair chunk was rebuilding a new cell pack. Thanks for the feedback 🙂👍

@@BuyitFixit I was delighted that noco didn't sell the battery pack cause I really wanted to see how that pack was put together. I know it was a lot of work for you but what a great video this is. Amazing how something so small can start a tractor. Have a great week and see you next Saturday.

If the batteries are lithium ion they can go flat if left in tools and the voltage drops below a threshold and the charger can’t “see” it. Put 12volts across the battery’s plus to plus , minus to minus for 15-30 seconds.

Yes I would like to see more of this. And submit a request: it would be great if you did not use time lapse, details are always missed when you assemble (or disassemble) this quickly. I think the motto should be: if its worth showing at all its worth showing in real time.

Thanks 👍unfortunately the video would have ended up being about 3 hours long. I ended up cutting a load from it and speeding bits up and it was still 1hr 30 long. A lot of people these days have a short attention span and wouldn't have sat through me rebuilding the cell so I sped that bit up a bit. Thanks for commenting 👍

You're a lot braver than I am - the chances of shorting out the cells, resulting in violent self-dismantling, is far too high! (Also I'm clumsy...) Well done!

Ha, you have a tractor. Dude, that's so country! You sound like a city boy, and you repair complicated electronics. The tractor was a total surprise. Well done 'mate'. :)
