- Purchase your GB40 here: www.amazon.com/NOCO-GB40-Ultr...
We uploaded our original NOCO GB40 video in January of 2017 and people were very impressed with the result. Since then we have had several requests to do a follow up video showing how the GB40 works after 2 years. Today we decided to shoot a quick video to show you how it is performing in real world scenario. This Box hasn't been charged in over 2 months and its jumping an engine much larger than it is designed to start. Lets see if it can get the job done. Thanks for watching. JC. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

This is actually meant for up to a 6 L gas motor. Not a 6 cylinder motor. This started my 6.4 l V8 gas Hemi engine in my 2016 Ram 2500 that had a bad battery with no problem. It actually jump-started it three times in a row before I could go get a new battery. I did make sure it was 100% before jump starting my truck. And after three jump start I think it only went down to 75%.
I'm watching this after already purchasing one, but I'm feeling good about my choice from the limited options I had. I do A LOT of solo driving, and my battery in my 2016 was going bad. It's left me stranded several times this week where I didn't have anyone around to jump me. I got a new battery but I also wanted to never be stuck again so I got myself one of these. Glad to know it's dependable. Bonus points for the animals 😄
I bought my gb40 after watching your video 2 years ago. I love it and need it often in wintertime, when my webasto is warming my 2.0 diesel. In holidays its perfect to load your ipad with usb.
Boost Mode (aka Manual Override) should only be used if the unit cannot detect a charge on the battery that is less than 2 volts -- appears you had some issues starting it, but you got it working. It's a great product!
I purchased the GB40 for my wife’s 2021 Honda passport and have only used it on other peoples cars. The biggest engine it has jumped was a 5.3 liter Tahoe without any problems. I liked it so much I purchased the GBX55 for my F150. Great video sir!
I think Dolly and Opal need their own channel.
I think ur right 🤣🤣👌🤣👌
I agree!
Absolutely
Dolly was trying to tell you the GB40 was getting too hot. You were smart to take her advice and let it cool down.
Basically your old video was the final factor in my decision. I've used NoCO for marine charging so I was already a fan of their charging systems on boats. I wasn't sure though who was the leader in booster technology. They have not disappointed and I use it a lot.
I saw your video and Roadking's video and bought one for my daughter that was in collage.
She used it all the time as her dorm found out she had it.
I have had this exact item for 5 years and have used it many times. It has never failed me.
Loved the animals... I think any guy who talks to his animals like you do is a 'great' human being... Great Vid... You again confirmed my new purchase of a NOCO....
Yes agree with you about people talking kindly to their animals:) I’m here because I ordered the GBX75 and wanted to see different Nocos perform
Thank you for actual test. I was really on fence ordering GBX45 for 5.7L Hemi, but now I see it is capable. Thanks again
Very impressive.
Specially on a big engine, a dead battery for so long, and the Noco at 50% charge!
Thank you very much.
Great Video! Thanks for the update.
Your animals look wonderful!
It must be heaven having them around.
The animals alone make this worth watching!!! Love it!
I have this one here and it already saved me and couple other people on the road as well.
I just purchased one of these and I received this model today from Amazon it jumped a car battery that was completely dead on the over-ride setting because I couldn't get to the negative terminal on the battery. It's a keeper!
I work on engine driven machines, when the battery gets too discharged (sure you said your battery is 7 years old) they can be extremely hard to start even when jumping from another vehicle. I would give this a 👍
I have the gb20 and it started my 6.7L F250 power stroke with no problem. I think everyone should have one in their vehicle
I got a GBX75 2500 max amp for my Corolla 1,6 L 4 cyl. But the winter is very cold and I’m sure a gb40 won’t work well in minus 40 degree C with a cold engine and cold battery.
That’s it, a real world review it’s all I need to know. Good work Sir, thank you. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Been using it two years and just now learned how to use it. That always helps. LOL
I have the gb70. on a full charge the same thing happened to me because of gm's stupid side post batteries, you really have to make sure to get a solid connection. thanks for the videos man. so many people like myself make buying decisions based on info from videos like urs. I 100% recommend these noco genius products. I live in nc so its not too cold. but boy it gets hot. I have jumped more than 30 cars with mine that sits in the back of my hot truck all the time. I only charge it when it dies. I have owned it for about 2 yrs now and only charged it twice. that being said. the one I have "gb70" is like the "big" brother to the gb40. the bg40 is 7k joules and 1k amps, the gb70 is 15700 joules with 2k amps. the gb70 is also twice the price but worth every penny. thanx againg for the video!
That's good to know
Inclusive me have been watching many videos and today arrived my noco 15000k
I left on ac to charger 220v but i don't know when the charge is full yet i will check it in the morning
tarzan12052 7
I've owned mine for four years and have had to charge it twice in that span of time! Pretty neat lil gadget.
Mine still kickin strong!
You got a 7 year old battery to start, I'm impressed. The GB 40 has had a lot of good reviews. This will make a good present for my son and myself as well. Thanks for a good and honest review.
It’s not very good it’s overpriced for what it is but people buy it because of the branding and number 1 on amazon. It work fine for most people but there are cheaper alternatives that actually work much better
@@tadassmolskas3014 what would you recommend ?
@@oz1141 check out topdon jumpsurge series
@@22Rraptor I'll check it out, thanks
@@tadassmolskas3014 well i'm fairly certain it sells on honest reviews like this too. watch the other video where he jumps 5-6 cars in 5 degree weather that have been sitting 1-2 yrs.
I'm in the market for a new lithium powered jump start. My antigravity micro start xp-3 jump starter battery swelled up. Recycled that before it blew up. Few years old but wasnt used all that much. Thanks for the video.
Opal and Dolly are adorable! Please show us more of them.
That is awesome...I'm sold on these cool little compact units!
It’s the override button that allows the unit to boost even when it’s not reading a charge from the battery. So if it doesn’t sense a minimum volt reading then it won’t boost UNLESS You hit th override
Just bought one. I am more happy now. Thank u
Now this is the kind of content I wish I saw more of on TH-cam
Thanks Kyle. Very nice of you to say. Thanks for watching. JC.
Exactly! There are millions of sponsored BS "infomercial" videos about the greatness of products. This is one of very few honest true consumer tests. I am currently hunting for a starter help and I'm trying to decide between a supercapacitor one and one of these "older" LiIon ones. A plus with a supercapacitor is that you don't need to charge it but I am a bit concerned about life span for such a new technology (for consumers, I know it has been used in other applications)
@@Volkswear Excellent product, what breed of dog was that?!?!
Just received then used mine. Great tool!
Great work. Thanks for the post. I'm looking at one of these for my wife's 6-cyl Avalon. Nice, sweet animals, too.
Idaho! Great review series on the Noco, I was rooting for it to start your truck.
Thanks for review from Europe.
I purchased the GB40 mainly because I watched your last video of it cranking up all those cars in the snow. I hope NOCO sent you a fat check because I'm willing to bet they sold a lot of units thanks to you.
Success! Nice critters! And further proof that those GM side mount terminals were a stupid idea 50 years ago!
Clarence Calkins I agree with you on the side terminals. I'm not a fan. Thanks for watching. JC.
GM quality keeps slipping.
I want that truck!
Cool video bro from Columbia sc. love how you explain everything clearly 👌👍🏽👌👍🏽
I’m impressed with this demo. I would put the negative ( black) on the engine block for better connection. I not a fan of side post batteries. The larger the terminals the better the connections.
Can't fault the kit, I bought one after your last review. Thanks
Thank God it started. I'd have been well pissed off if I'd watched 11 minutes of video only to discover he still couldn't get his truck going! I am going to get one of these. Thanks for great review!
ElectricPylon did u end up buying them ?
@@RichHandsome yes I did! It's like a piece of magic kit. Works every time I've needed it. I have 2 old cars with old batteries which were fine with regular use but in lock down I don't drive so much and batteries get low. This jump starter is excellent No more faffing around with jump starting from another car or getting the battery charger out with long trailing cables.
My wife even impressed a friend with a flat battery. You won't get it started with that little thing she said! Well, 30 seconds later her car was going again!
Everybody should have one!
ElectricPylon thank you!
@@RichHandsome Oh, forgot to say... I bought one for my daughter too. She was adamant she'd never need it. A month later I got a message from her saying how grateful she was for it when her car didn't start in some cold weather.
ElectricPylon can this be left in the trunk in -30 weather ?
-- Running a 5.3 LS. I think you sold me. So it's meant for something smaller, but for the price, it's worth it. That and 99 percent of the time it'll be charging RC batts, and I have a dual batt system with a smart isolator in my truck. All around, seems like a good piece of kit for the right price, bearing in mind the gb70 is 100 bucks more. Thanks and thumbs up.
Great success and believable video. Thank you.
Great video!! What I noticed was at the 5:05 minute mark when you started boost mode on the GB40 the headlight came on. The ignition switch of the truck must have been in the run position. This may of also been a bit of a drain the GB40.
You saw what I did. Headlights are a tremendous drain. Had they not been on it would have started it
I came for the product review, and stayed for the animal cameos. 💕
The best use is to leave for a full 1 to 1 1/2 minutes before starting....But they work well !
For being two years old, it looks brand new..no dust , not a scratch on it...
Your animals love you. They want to know when your going to feed them.
You nailed it Sir!!! Salutes!!!
Just a comment from here in Ireland. I have a 2009 Honda Accord 2.2ltr 4 cylinder diesel and the battery in my car is bigger than that in the video. My 2009 Audi A3 1.9ltr 4 cylinder diesel also shares the same size battery. I know battries go flat/dead but you seem to have a small battery for the engine size.
Love the video.
Opal is a beauty!
Awesome video! Thank You
I think its mentioned below, but when the battery is dead you have to use the override (which turns it into a live wire so careful) to jumpstart.
Yep and you have to hold the little red button down for 5 seconds at least and all the lights start flashing. The “boost” part is the removal of all backwards voltage safety features. An excellent feature to have to literally save your a- but at the risk of blowing it up. Do not get one that doesn’t have this feature. It may not see your battery if it’s too dead and your screwed!
That horse is so sweet xx
The website says it can crank a 6.0 liter gas engine, so more than 6 cylinder.
just bought this for my MC :)
just picked one up and the clamps got better
It’s designed for up to 6 liter gas engines and 3.0 Diesel engines so it’s made to start that 5.7 you have. Keep the good videos coming. Those gm side post battery’s suck. You have to make sure you get a really good connection with those side post battery terminals
NOCO shows the GB40 as being for V8s up to 6 liters... Not sure where the commentary about only for 6 cylinders comes from. But... I still think this is a great video to show what it can do...
Good review. Thanks.
I just bought ones found by accident a website Crutchfield it has accessories and if you need extra cables carrying case . Type in Noco GB40
I've used mine on 2 V-8's and a V-6, no problem.
With gb40?
It started my 5.9 Dodge ram with no problem
Good vid my Brother !!!! P.S. I love your critters !!!!!!!!!!!!
Your wonderful animals are diamonds!
I just ordered the GB40 from Walmart for $88.99 on roll back. This video gives me more peace of mind for when it arrives. I had a Stanley 600 amp for smaller cars and it went dead in 8 months, and it was never used. I just want something to jump my 1.8 Nissan Sentra, if necessary. It arrives Monday!
MIne did the same thing the other day after a heavy load. Went straight to the fault light
A fellow Idahoan. Buying on now for my Pilot Car vehicle. Thanks.
Nice. What part of Idaho?
@@Volkswear Meridian, ID
Another great review. I have an Audi A4 Allroad 3.0 litre V6. The GB40 would be the right one for my car, but I've just ordered the GB50, just to be double sure 😁.
Always better to have a little more than you need rather than just enough. JC.
I have a couple of VW TDIs. Would this model be powerful enough to jump their diesel engines? Or would I go with the GB70?
Thanks so much for your excellent reviews.
what can happend if you left the booster hooked on the battery ??? will it actually recharge the pack this way ????
If the truck has been standing for some months it probably takes a while for the fuel to be pumped through and as I saw on another comment don't have other electrical items like headlamps turned on. Also I noted that at the first go it wasn't happening until you made sure that you had a good clean connection to the battery..
I have just bought one.
Chances are better that great, that old battery itself sucked a lot on energy from the booster's battery pack, and wasn't able to return into to the starter motor
Success!!!
i'm impressed
Can you run the car on GB40 without a battery for longer than 60 seconds, and what is the longest time you could do it with the GB40 (if the alternator is not working you could drive the car to the shop if it is close). . . . . . . .
You got my like right after Obo's cameo appearance! :-D
in Quebec Canada you can find it at Canadian tire store for 159.99 Canadian but i just buy one on Ebay.ca at 120$ Canadian shipping include .
I took a chance and got my GB70 for $149new on eBay 2 summers ago . . . and it really was new with a hard case. Shop around ???
The blinking is reverse polarity or over heating.
NOCO website says GB40 is good for gas engines up to 6L. That second crank would probably have been successful if you'd cycled the key a few times to prime the fuel system. ;) (Can you tell I have a bunch of junk sitting around that I have to coerce into starting?) Good vid.
Cycling the ignition to make sure your fuel is primed was a good tip. Starter spray is also good in these situations when you only have a few chances before battery is drained. Warming or heating the block and the battery is a tip as well.
What is difference between GB40 and the G1100? Will the G1100 work on a car whose battery is dead?
Good test. Be great if you could test it under winter conditions.
The GB40 left my wife stranded in 34 degree temperature at 4:30 a.m. in the cold dark morning hours... it was cold, wet, and windy and she remembered that I put a brand new fully charged GB40 in her Buick with a 3800 series V6 engine....well let’s just say it didn’t have enough power to even turn the engine a full revolution. It cranked a few really slow half revolutions and it was completely drained so I had to come to the rescue with the “o’l faithful jumper cables” I would NOT purchase the GB20 or the GB40 if you have a 6 cylinder vehicle or larger... We borrowed a friends Everstart Maxx 600 peak amp jump starter and it will start the Buick right up no problem and still have a full charge. NOCO must of chooched them numbers up for sales, however we will not be relying on the GB40 for emergencies anymore. It works great to jump start my riding lawnmower though. I would personally buy the GB70 or GB150.
I laughed, when the engine started, and months of dust got sucked out of the radiator, LOL!
Been researching boosters, and I'm going with the NOCO GBX55, which is a more powerful unit, but made by the same Co.
These really seem like they're pretty much the best you can buy.
Ok, well I was sitting in my car just outside of Canadian Tire and opened my new GB40. I couldn't believe that for $150 I didn't even get an AC adapter and was about to return it for a refund. I decided to watch a review. I was very relieved that your truck started, and I would call the parameters you put it through pretty extreme.
I decided to keep the unit. It should be easy for my tiny wife to use. Thanks!
Hi, is it good enough to jump Cherokee xj 4.0 in winter?
I didnt even recognize you from teh winter review when you did 6 cars. Just ordered one. I have a 4.6 mustang gt. I think it will be fine.
Can I keep GB40 in car all time sir ?
Thank you!
Has anyone used the GB40 as a temporary 12 v power source ? For example connecting the clamps to the pos and neg wires of a car radio and press the override button to bench test a car radio? And yes I know it is dangerous if the clamps touch and is probably not recommended but can it be done without harming the equipment being tested. Thanks
Loved the video...I just got one of these. I believe that it says it can boost up to a 6.0 liter so it will handle V8's.
It sais so
i think they make a wire kit that has lugs on them. So you can basically bolt the lugs to the battery studs and leave them there till you plug the Noco in when you need it. So you dont have to use the clamps. Most of the time the clamps are fine, but these gm side stud battery are ridiculous.
Is it still working good after 6 years of use? Pretty Impressive that it could start a vehicle it was not designed to start when it's not even at full capacity. Pretty Good Positive Enforcement for the manufacturer. I just hope they still make their products to the same quality of this one.
If I buy a NOCO I will definitely get the GB 50 . Like you said the GB 40 is for smaller engines.
I have the GBX75 and it is a super good product. Not only will it start a Diesel over and over again, it will also hold it's charge for ages. You can literally pull this out of your trunk after a year and it will still be at 100%. And this is stuff that just won't show in test videos and comparisons. Numbers don't tell it all. The product has to perform on the road, in real life. And Noco does. You actually used it wrong, but it still worked, which is another great aspect. These things are made pretty fool proof. I can't recommend it enough.
Thanks for review from toronto
When it doesn’t read the battery (because it’s too low) it won’t work. The red button allows you to override this when you press it for 3 seconds. That way it will force battery into your car. But once you do, all safety measure will be turned off so don’t not mix up positive and negative. Owners manual says it is compatible with anything between v2-v12
Awesome video sir! I have a Tundra with the 5.7 liter so maybe I need to get the GB50
Negative I have a dodge ram with the 5.7 and starts it fine I works best up to 6.0L
@@BIG_FETUS I appreciate the reply but went ahead and got the GB50 after contacting NOCO. That's what was recommended to me.
I've always been a skeptic of these devices but after watching your previous video , I think I need to add one of these to my emergency road kit and leave the bulky jumper cables at home. Or maybe carry both?
Carry both!
Awwww. You named her after me! LOL Hi Opal
Bought one brand new and it wouldn’t jump off my Polaris. Headed to return it.
We carry them in or patrol cars for other deputies and civilians. I’ve never had a vehicle not start using NOCO
@@cgeary76 I must have bought a defect. But I have seen them in action and I use a heavy duty jump box and it boosted the truck right off
Wow, as soon as he presses the bypass button, the headlights came on.
Is did gb40 good for a Tacoma v6?
