I got one GT4000 With preheat, ive also got the non-preheat model its great and has never let me down looking forward to comparing them if we get a really cold winter this year ❄️
Just purchased a GT3000. With all the specs e.g. safety features, 400 lumes and particularly 100W fast charger, it looks great. Thanks for this great detailed video and some great tips!
This is awesome. I just got mine. I was stuck at a store needed a jump and no one would jump me I had the cables but no one all of sudden had time to give me a boost ,this my friend is perfect no more asking
These really are great. I don’t know how many times I have used mine now. For my kids, friends and strangers and more it is awesome. And they are always amazed. Wow what is that thing? And then immediately want to buy one after it starts the vehicle
Hi How does this Gooloo GT4000S compare to the original Gooloo GP4000 ? Also how does it compare to the Noco GBX155 ? Thanks. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon
I've had the Gooloo 1500 for years and it's great! Always starts even V8 engines in 20 degree weather. I may get the 4000 just because I like the digital display and to better start diesel engines in bitter cold. NOCO, nah, seen to many fail to start when needed most.
These are pretty good units. The noco is nice as well but I do like the info screen as it’s nice to have the extra info when needed. It’s needs a case verses the bag though..😂👍🏼
@@johnnysweekends Funny thing is, on gooloo's website it doesn't show any jump starters with a screen on them and doesn't show the 3000 amp one at all. On Their amazon store page same thing. no 3000 GT and no screens on any jump starters.. Search on Amazon and you can find both 3000 and 4000 with screens at least the picture shows it and it is "sold" by Gooloo and ships from Amazon? weird? The 4000GT says deliver by April 4-6 haha. 3000GT is available now within 3 days
I have this pack, it's great (mostly for other people). I have a hybrid car, so it's usefulness is limited. Still, handy for rescuing the small 12v battery occasionally.
Excellent product ! I don't have the 4000, but I have an older one, and it is 4 years old, never had a problem with it, and I can tell you...I have used it plenty. You won't be sorry if you buy a Gooloo.
I think maybe because in the original giveaway video, the question at the very end of the video I asked who I mentioned so the answer was PF. The video has been edited though now that the giveaway is over. But thank you for the compliment.. and thanks for watching 👍🏼😀
I see this claim on their website, but it only shows on their top model! 'We have tested 500+ vehicles from over 20 brands, and 99.9% of them started successfully'
Right. Now they make a case for this one. $25 through Wal-Mart. It's pretty nice.. A little bulky, but the GT isn't as slim as the older model unfortunately
Need one for my daughter's car. Tip remove the negative terminal not the positive. If the positive terminal is removed it's can short out and destroy the electrical system. The negative terminal won't. If one has to be loose make sure it's the negative
I still have them just in case. But hang a set of jumper cables to these new kids or new generation of drivers…. No clue how to really do it. Give them the jump box and they can figure it out in about a minute or less.
Hi thanks im a subscriber. How does this Gooloo GT4000S compare to the original Gooloo GP4000 ? Also how does it compare to the Noco GBX155 ? Thanks. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon
I only know this version is the most desired for the heating aspect which helps in the winter especially in snow conditions or ski parks and more. I still use mine 💪🏼👍🏼
Great video! Best video out there on the Gooloo GT3000 / GT4000. I was totally confused by the instructions provided with my GT3000 on how and when to use the boost button. Turns out that I needed to use boost mode because my car's battery was too drained. When I connected the GT3000 to my battery the ready light never came on. I hit the boost button just for the hell of it and the car came to life at that point. I was then able to start the car. I'm very happy with my GT3000. As this video says, this is much easier and safer than using jumper cables.
Thank you so much for the kinds words. And thanks for the great comment on the unit. I was impressed by it as well as it seems like a great design. Thanks again for the comment and thanks again for watching 👍🏼😀
Had a similar case yesterday with a dead battery. I couldn't get the Ready light to come on. Ended up pulling out the old Gooloo4000 I had, used boost mode and it worked first try. Must not have done something right with the GT model
@@gunsite45 the GT model doesn't have the boost mode. I believe that and the LCD screen is worth the extra cost. My GP180 that I bought for like 70$ on amazon 5 years ago is still at it. Jump started a vehicle tonight that the jumper cables couldn't. Made me looked like a hero in the situation when those people needed help. Got the unit obviously before anybody knew how good they were.
@@LoveLikeaHurricane It feels great when you're able to help others with such units. Any idea why the jumper cables didn't work? I bet the person wanted to buy the same unit after that! The last time I helped someone they had never seen a unit like it. My unit was a 5 year old RoyPow (no longer made). It has been sitting in the boot of my car for almost a year since it's last charge and started up the guys Mercedes in seconds. The heatwave killed the battery so Ive purchased a GOOLOO GT4000S.
@ANDY-we7mr no hook or stand but I don’t think I would ever you either because of you hook it anywhere it’s to short. A stand to use something for 20 seconds …🤷🏼♂️ Plus GooLoo model is proven and cheaper 🤷🏼♂️
You mentioned "Project Farm" at the 5 second mark of the video... Need this badly as my 2013 RDX now developed a parasitic draw that kill my battery off in about 3 days :(. Just last weekend I got stranded in MD restaurant parking lot because I forgot the one jumper I had (among three cars I own) in my wife's car. If I win, I don't have to buy a second unit :). I was researching on TH-cam for a jumper starter and stumbled onto your channel... great review. You got a new subscriber here :).
I wouldn't recommend attempting to run your vehicle without a battery if it's less than 20 years old.. The ecu and other modules can get a little upset.. Alternator voltages can spike too high and fry electronics and some vehicles will cut out automatically. I guess you could leave the gooloo connected to move the car in an emergency but I'm not sure if that would get damaged either although it probably has circuitry to combat an intrusive alternator charge
other booster packs suck they wont work if you battery is actually or no over ride. they start beeping when u try to start not cool in -minus 35c weather,
The lcd doesn't really do much except tell you the temperature... a flashing led could do that. The real advantage of the GT4000 is the extended low temperature range. Otherwise the gp4000 is a great unit.
I use Project Farm videos to make purchase decisions for tools etc. for my fulltime farm… would come in handy starting my 8 diesel tractors and other self-propelled equipment this spring, after being stored for the winter, since December.
Wow! Great video. I thought showing the car starting with the jump starter alone was pretty cool. It shows that this pack has some serious CCA. BTW: I noticed there is quite a price jump from the GT3000 to the GT4000.
HI JOHNNY IT CAME TODAY OFF EBAY MATE GOOLOO 4000 ITS A SHAME YOU DONT GET A CASE LIKE THE TOPDON J3000 JUMP STARTER CASES ARE JOHNNY £30 I FLATTEND THE BATTERY NO POWER AT ALL ON THE CAR PLUGED THE GOOLOO 4000 CAR FIRED UP STRAIGHT AWAY WELL PLEASE HAS NO HOOK OR STAND 😊
the only difference I saw in the gt4000 and the 4000s is the gt4000 will crank -40 on the gt4000s - 4 so I don't know what else the differences are nobody has yet been able to tell me what the discharge rates are the LED seems to discharge 1% every couple seconds
Nice Review. Question: Does this GT4000 include digital voltmeter readout on the display? It would be nice to see what the battery reading is in volts prior to and after starting the engine. I didn't see it. does this jump pack include this feature?
Unfortunately it does not, but I agree it would be nice to see about where the voltage is to see how far it drained. I assume only a few of us really care about that. The majority just wanna start there car and go lol. Thanks for watching 👍🏼😀
Connect negative directly to bare metal of the chassis or engine like a bolt. This is how you are supposed to connect normal jumper cables so the final negative connection doesn't spark near a battery as you close the circuit. These boosters don't spark as they have intelligent safety circuitry so it's best to connect directly to battery where possible.
Well just like your car battery it holds up just fine for about 5 years in abusing conditions. In a compartment in your car out of the weather these should last a long time. Plus lithium has alot more life cycles then conventional batteries.
Yes they sold out just after I released the video..🤷♂️ they said a few weeks so maybe another 3-4 weeks from now. Could be a little sooner. Bill k. Was the winner.
So, is it an actual battery charger/maintainer on top of all of this? Seems like if your gonna build an all-in-one, it should do that as well as all the other stuff.
This is not a battery charger maintainer at all. It’s more of a emergency jump starter and power brick. It will jump start several vehicles in seconds and is a great emergency device to have in your vehicle. I always have mine and can jump start a car in seconds and not need my old jumper cables. Which is a lot safer. And even someone with no knowledge can easily follow the directions on this device. Not a battery charger. That’s a whole other tool and that’s for home on the bench.
@@johnnysweekends cool thanks for the quick reply. If it does that would be awesome. I checked your link but seems there are non available and hard to find anywhere else.
I know I just spoke with them and they are about 3-4 weeks backed ordered. Seems to be the way of the world right now. Several models they have sold out which good for them lol. Literally a few hours after the video posted they said they are sold out and it will be 4-6 weeks roughly lol. I was like great 😂
A ton of them are out of stock so replacements are coming, but I think the listings are down till they know when they will be arriving. I’m still waiting as well lol.
@@johnnysweekends johnny.. this thing is brilliant dont ya reckon.. ive could not find another jump starter with 100w charging capability.. 100w means u can charge laptops and pretty much heaps of things. ive been so happy with my unit cause i had to replace my kogan 100w power bank that stopped charging and figured why not find something that had car jumpstarter as well and came across this gooloo.
I bought one of these but when I turn on I only the battery percentage on it and nothing else. Ideally it should briefly show other info on lcd like yours does. Do you think mine is deffective? Or, they have two versions of GT4000 pre heat model. Mine is preheat model like yours. Thanks!
Hmm I’ll have to check mine again but I don’t think there is another updated version yet unless they made a small change. I would test it some how just to make sure it does work properly. Even if you just it in a vehicle and hook it to a battery just to see what it does. Doesn’t mean you have to actually start anything
@JOHNNY'S WEEKENDS Thanks for your reply! Acutally I also contacted them. They mentioned there was a minor update and the latest ones don't do that meaning the unit act like mine. I saw another TH-camr whose unit act like mine too! I also jumped my car with it to test it. Don't want to get any nasty surprises. I don't trust any electronics 😂
Ahh so there was a little update. Ahh not surprised. Yea something like this, people will buy, check it out, charge it and throw it in a car… a year later they go to use it and and even though it has a charge, they never tested it and find out it doesn’t work.
I used it twice so far and haven’t charged it since I got it. I think it was at 82%..🤔 But I could leave it alone and not touch it. Would be a good update video. Unless I need it 🤔😂
Did you ever charge it? See if I’m the instructions there is a hard reset, also contact customer support. I still use mine and charge it about twice 3 times a year.
Great boost pack and video but running modern cars without a battery hooked up is a terrible idea. Could get really expensive really fast if you wipe out a module or alternator or both.
I agree running newer vehicles with out one could, but if I had no other option because someone stole my battery and I needed to go well then I’ll do what I need to do. Also depends where I was to. If there are services near by then just call someone
Yes, I have charged it about 4 times but probably due to check again. Your supposed to store it at 80% or so. I’ll charge to 100% on trips because it can be a power bank as well.
Hi there my friend. I love your videos and really appreciate the through comparisons and test you perform. Would you say this is better than the Noco or Hulkman brand? Is there anything better than this?
The hulkman and Noco are basically all in the same box for competition I like this and the Noco. They are beasts. There are more coming to market all the time and GooLoo is releasing another and a company contacted me with a new type of jump starter you never charge. So may get that to test and see how it does.
I bought the gt4000s two weeks ago. The cigarette lighter charger gets so hot it melted. I’m not real sure what I think about long-term reliability. I’m returning mine to Amazon.
Wow odd, i mean mine gets warm sure, but never where I was like ohhh,that’s kinda hot. Did you try a different source just to try it? Maybe something wrong with that cord..🤷🏼♂️
@@johnnysweekends I tried it at 2 different outlets. Both got so hot you couldn’t touch the metal bits on the plug. I already sent it back to Amazon. Too bad because I was excited to try it out
Right, the jump packs are designed for short term use (4 seconds of high load, and 30 seconds of lower load - with auto-shutoff). Possible? Probably. But unless you know how to put this into low-current mode (as shown in the video) and wire it’s 12V/10A output port to feed the car’s circuit, attempting a memory-saving setup would be a risky move. There are easier memory savers out there.
Certain ones you can especially some of the newer vehicles for sure. But in a emergency situation you at least have a option to get going if you are somewhere out in no mans land or what ever the situation may be and you don’t want to wait around.
Wow out of stock again??? These are selling like crazy! This is like the 3rd time in a couple months. Try Walmart online or eBay they seem to always have stuff
It will still start trucks and cars but if your a shop or someone on a farm who uses stuff for big equipment and uses it frequently you may want the other. But normal trucks and cars it will be just fine. It will still start diesel trucks and more.
BIG mistake telling people to disconnect the battery with engine running ! This has a high probability of burning out expensive parts such as computers and other modules. Besides, you most likely won't even be able to accelerate if you can keep it running in gear. Back in the day this was a hillbilly way to test an alternator but even then you needed a battery to excite the alternator and to regulate the output. What happens when the engine keeps running when the battery is disconnected is the alternator puts out some current because of residual magnetism in the rotor but when the engine requires more current the alternator can't produce because there is no battery to increase the magnetism of the rotor. The battery also acts like a capacitor, or shock absorber as some will say to absorb critical voltage spikes and cover voltage dips when a high load kicks on which draws current and voltage from other areas and the alternator hasn't responded fast enough because they are just slow about that and when it does finally respond it can respond too much and that's when the battery helps absorb the surge.
The only "emergency" situation I can see someone attempting this is if you have no cell coverage and you're in the middle of no where. Gary is right. Attempting this can cause all sorts of damage to the vehicles components and computers. An even bigger concern though (if someone followed this advice) is now you have your battery cables flopping around while you are driving so they can arc and possibly start a fire. Unless it's a nice threatening situation, don't listen to Johnny, just call a tow truck.
Again only in a emergency. You ever have no cell service? Or call a tow truck and they are over 6 hrs out..? Sometimes I’ll do what I need to get to somewhere safe or family to safety. That’s more important then my car and more then likely popping fuses or relays. Again only in a true emergency
It is perfectly fine to do this. The car manufacturers have taken all of this into account (it isn't like they forgot how to incorporate old technology into new) The only people who would think this doesn't work are people who don't work on vehicles themselves. This is hands down the best jump box. Excellent presentation and advice. Keep up the good work.
What do you think of this new jump pack? Worth the price?
Noco 155

Make sure to keep it charged. Work it into your monthly routine. If you don’t you may end up with a dead jump starter and a dead car.
@Prosecute-fauci I use mine at least once a month. Been using it since I got it. Well worth it!
Project Farm, this could come in handy on the Gold Mine!
This is what I will have my kids carry. No more jumper cables and fully charged is good to still start a vehicle after 24 months.
I own the previous model and it functions as described by project farm. Highly recommend.

Gooloo should provide carrying case instead of trash bag at this price.
Most of jump starter sellers provide hard carrying case.

I wouldn't recommend attempting to run your vehicle without a battery if it's less than 20 years old.. The ecu and other modules can get a little upset.. Alternator voltages can spike too high and fry electronics and some vehicles will cut out automatically.
I guess you could leave the gooloo connected to move the car in an emergency but I'm not sure if that would get damaged either although it probably has circuitry to combat an intrusive alternator charge

HI JOHNNY IT CAME TODAY OFF EBAY MATE GOOLOO 4000 ITS A SHAME YOU DONT GET A CASE LIKE THE TOPDON J3000 JUMP STARTER CASES ARE JOHNNY £30 I FLATTEND THE BATTERY NO POWER AT ALL ON THE CAR PLUGED THE GOOLOO 4000 CAR FIRED UP STRAIGHT AWAY WELL PLEASE HAS NO HOOK OR STAND 😊
Case was £25.99 from Gooloo now out of stock last week you could get one with eBay coupon 20% off
Cool little devices. Would it work if you connect he negative to ground instead of the negative terminal? The box is better than the bag.
I still have the box. And yes should work hooked to negative post on vehicle verses battery. Still makes a complete circuit.
ProjectFarm!
Can this power a car long enough to drive it a little bit? Like if the alrernator fail? I was looking st rhe Noco and they shut off after 60 seconds.
Unfortunately no. It’s not meant for that
the only difference I saw in the gt4000 and the 4000s is the gt4000 will crank -40 on the gt4000s - 4 so I don't know what else the differences are nobody has yet been able to tell me what the discharge rates are the LED seems to discharge 1% every couple seconds
I believe the 4000 has the heater built in and the 4000s does not.
Nice Review. Question: Does this GT4000 include digital voltmeter readout on the display? It would be nice to see what the battery reading is in volts prior to and after starting the engine. I didn't see it. does this jump pack include this feature?
Unfortunately it does not, but I agree it would be nice to see about where the voltage is to see how far it drained. I assume only a few of us really care about that. The majority just wanna start there car and go lol.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼😀
I'm getting one
I love mine. Always on the ready. Just used it a few weeks ago again. People are like wow what is that thing lol
I want to see this go against the Hulkman 85
answer- is project farm .
What if you can only access the positive terminal? A lot of newer cars are like this
Connect negative directly to bare metal of the chassis or engine like a bolt. This is how you are supposed to connect normal jumper cables so the final negative connection doesn't spark near a battery as you close the circuit.
These boosters don't spark as they have intelligent safety circuitry so it's best to connect directly to battery where possible.
Is there a battery tester built into the : GOOLOO GT4000 Car Jump Starter Box to test the vehicle battery health before using the jumper box ?
@@sandman_7326 Oh yea! It also washes your car, changes your oil and makes you breakfast.
answer is project farm
Correct! Although the contest is already over.
so, this is a batter that's gonna sit in my car with extream temps, hot and hold. How is this thing going to hold up?
Well just like your car battery it holds up just fine for about 5 years in abusing conditions. In a compartment in your car out of the weather these should last a long time. Plus lithium has alot more life cycles then conventional batteries.
Been trying to get one of these but sold out. Who’s the winner for the giveaway?
Yes they sold out just after I released the video..🤷♂️ they said a few weeks so maybe another 3-4 weeks from now. Could be a little sooner.
Bill k. Was the winner.
about two on eBay and I got one free $130
So, is it an actual battery charger/maintainer on top of all of this? Seems like if your gonna build an all-in-one, it should do that as well as all the other stuff.
This is not a battery charger maintainer at all. It’s more of a emergency jump starter and power brick.
It will jump start several vehicles in seconds and is a great emergency device to have in your vehicle. I always have mine and can jump start a car in seconds and not need my old jumper cables.
Which is a lot safer. And even someone with no knowledge can easily follow the directions on this device.
Not a battery charger. That’s a whole other tool and that’s for home on the bench.
I just bought one brand new but not charger at all just show light and then off .
Then return it for exchange. Every company can have a dead unit.
This looks excellent. Are you able to charge devices off the unit while the GOOLOO is charging?
I’m pretty sure you can, I thought I tested that ..🤔
I just shipped it to the winner…
But I’ll have a new one in a few weeks to verify.
@@johnnysweekends cool thanks for the quick reply. If it does that would be awesome. I checked your link but seems there are non available and hard to find anywhere else.
I know I just spoke with them and they are about 3-4 weeks backed ordered.
Seems to be the way of the world right now. Several models they have sold out which good for them lol. Literally a few hours after the video posted they said they are sold out and it will be 4-6 weeks roughly lol. I was like great 😂
Like it.
👍🏼😎
nice
what's up with the gp3000 Just bought it and it isn't listed on the website. Was wondering are the gp3000 discontinued?
A ton of them are out of stock so replacements are coming, but I think the listings are down till they know when they will be arriving. I’m still waiting as well lol.
anybody know what case is best for the gt3000 model other than the gooloo case by gooloo.. alternatives?
I have been keeping in the box lol. But yea no bags that I have used yet
@@johnnysweekends johnny.. this thing is brilliant dont ya reckon.. ive could not find another jump starter with 100w charging capability.. 100w means u can charge laptops and pretty much heaps of things. ive been so happy with my unit cause i had to replace my kogan 100w power bank that stopped charging and figured why not find something that had car jumpstarter as well and came across this gooloo.
The unit really was well built and I still use mine. Used twice and still at about 75% or so.
If you like this unit stay tuned 😁👍🏼
I bought one of these but when I turn on I only the battery percentage on it and nothing else. Ideally it should briefly show other info on lcd like yours does. Do you think mine is deffective? Or, they have two versions of GT4000 pre heat model. Mine is preheat model like yours. Thanks!
Hmm I’ll have to check mine again but I don’t think there is another updated version yet unless they made a small change.
I would test it some how just to make sure it does work properly.
Even if you just it in a vehicle and hook it to a battery just to see what it does.
Doesn’t mean you have to actually start anything
@JOHNNY'S WEEKENDS
Thanks for your reply!
Acutally I also contacted them. They mentioned there was a minor update and the latest ones don't do that meaning the unit act like mine. I saw another TH-camr whose unit act like mine too!
I also jumped my car with it to test it. Don't want to get any nasty surprises. I don't trust any electronics 😂
Ahh so there was a little update. Ahh not surprised.
Yea something like this, people will buy, check it out, charge it and throw it in a car… a year later they go to use it and and even though it has a charge, they never tested it and find out it doesn’t work.
@@johnnysweekends It says that it's good for 24 months of stand by. Idk. That'd be a great test to see if that's so. Hint hint.
I used it twice so far and haven’t charged it since I got it. I think it was at 82%..🤔
But I could leave it alone and not touch it. Would be a good update video.
Unless I need it 🤔😂
"Project Farm" is the answer to your question for the contest.
Why every good jump starters in amazon is unavailable now ?
It was unavailable??
Here try this… I was able to click to buy
amzn.to/3JBCIOx
@@johnnysweekends Same. Thanks anyway. I'm living in South Korea anyway.
I'm planning to buy one, but i don't see/know how you can charge this at home? Don't you get an adapter to charge this at home in a wall plug?
Yup it had a usbc for charging or even car charging at 100 watts if you keep it with you.
@@johnnysweekends thanks for the reply! What if I charge it with a 65w adapter? Will it fully charge?
@esataaa yes
Project Farm
Hi l hope somebody can help me l have a gt 4000 used it once a year ago l went to use it again it flashs with numbers on screen but thats it
Did you ever charge it?
See if I’m the instructions there is a hard reset, also contact customer support. I still use mine and charge it about twice 3 times a year.
Great boost pack and video but running modern cars without a battery hooked up is a terrible idea. Could get really expensive really fast if you wipe out a module or alternator or both.
I agree running newer vehicles with out one could, but if I had no other option because someone stole my battery and I needed to go well then I’ll do what I need to do.
Also depends where I was to. If there are services near by then just call someone
@@johnnysweekends I agree sometimes you do what you gotta do. Thanks for the content!
Yup 👍🏼 and thanks for watching 😀👊🏼
Does your gt4000 fully charge to 100%
Yes, I have charged it about 4 times but probably due to check again.
Your supposed to store it at 80% or so.
I’ll charge to 100% on trips because it can be a power bank as well.
How can I tell the old model from this newer version?
The gt4000 has a built in heater and the 4000s doesn’t
Thanks I take it that’s the only difference
@@johnnysweekends
Hi there my friend. I love your videos and really appreciate the through comparisons and test you perform.
Would you say this is better than the Noco or Hulkman brand?
Is there anything better than this?
The hulkman and Noco are basically all in the same box for competition I like this and the Noco. They are beasts.
There are more coming to market all the time and GooLoo is releasing another and a company contacted me with a new type of jump starter you never charge. So may get that to test and see how it does.
Thank you so much.
😀👍🏼
hulkman i think is a better brand
They have good units as well but this one really stands out. But this video was a while ago and many new units out
I bought the gt4000s two weeks ago. The cigarette lighter charger gets so hot it melted. I’m not real sure what I think about long-term reliability. I’m returning mine to Amazon.
Wow odd, i mean mine gets warm sure, but never where I was like ohhh,that’s kinda hot. Did you try a different source just to try it? Maybe something wrong with that cord..🤷🏼♂️
@@johnnysweekends I tried it at 2 different outlets. Both got so hot you couldn’t touch the metal bits on the plug. I already sent it back to Amazon. Too bad because I was excited to try it out
Wow interesting, thanks for letting me know
does the 100W car charger work directly with a telephone?
I don’t think I understand your question..?
The vehicles charger..? Or 12volt socket work to charge a phone?
@@johnnysweekends the car charger at 1:42, will it charge another device like an android phone with usb c
Ahh yes. It’s just a charging cable so yes anything usbc it should work. It will only do a 100 watts if the device is capable.
I wish I could win one I need one in a bad way
They are nice units. Unfortunately this giveaway is overall till my next one.
Project farm
Can it be used as a memory saver?
I don’t think so
@@johnnysweekends Thank you!
@@N9olan I used a Draper memory saver connected to a 12V Lead Acid battery through the cigarette lighter port, for that purpose.
Right, the jump packs are designed for short term use (4 seconds of high load, and 30 seconds of lower load - with auto-shutoff). Possible? Probably. But unless you know how to put this into low-current mode (as shown in the video) and wire it’s 12V/10A output port to feed the car’s circuit, attempting a memory-saving setup would be a risky move. There are easier memory savers out there.
I am not sure, maybe someone knows the answer, I think you can damage the vehicle running it without a battery .
Certain ones you can especially some of the newer vehicles for sure. But in a emergency situation you at least have a option to get going if you are somewhere out in no mans land or what ever the situation may be and you don’t want to wait around.
Dang. Out of stock on Amazon. Who else has a good price?
Wow out of stock again???
These are selling like crazy!
This is like the 3rd time in a couple months.
Try Walmart online or eBay they seem to always have stuff
GT4000 IS APRIL DELIVERY ON AMAZON, GT3000 IS IN STOCK. WILL 3000GT ALSO GOOD ENOUGH?
It will still start trucks and cars but if your a shop or someone on a farm who uses stuff for big equipment and uses it frequently you may want the other. But normal trucks and cars it will be just fine. It will still start diesel trucks and more.
@@johnnysweekends It's for my 4.7L coupe, so it should be good enough. Thanks~
Ohh yea…. Probably spin it faster then the stock battery lol
Is it LFP or Li-Ion?
Li-ion
I still am using mine
@@johnnysweekends Thank you!
BIG mistake telling people to disconnect the battery with engine running ! This has a high probability of burning out expensive parts such as computers and other modules. Besides, you most likely won't even be able to accelerate if you can keep it running in gear. Back in the day this was a hillbilly way to test an alternator but even then you needed a battery to excite the alternator and to regulate the output. What happens when the engine keeps running when the battery is disconnected is the alternator puts out some current because of residual magnetism in the rotor but when the engine requires more current the alternator can't produce because there is no battery to increase the magnetism of the rotor. The battery also acts like a capacitor, or shock absorber as some will say to absorb critical voltage spikes and cover voltage dips when a high load kicks on which draws current and voltage from other areas and the alternator hasn't responded fast enough because they are just slow about that and when it does finally respond it can respond too much and that's when the battery helps absorb the surge.
Hence the reason I said only in a emergency you may be able to do this.
The only "emergency" situation I can see someone attempting this is if you have no cell coverage and you're in the middle of no where. Gary is right. Attempting this can cause all sorts of damage to the vehicles components and computers. An even bigger concern though (if someone followed this advice) is now you have your battery cables flopping around while you are driving so they can arc and possibly start a fire. Unless it's a nice threatening situation, don't listen to Johnny, just call a tow truck.
Again only in a emergency. You ever have no cell service? Or call a tow truck and they are over 6 hrs out..?
Sometimes I’ll do what I need to get to somewhere safe or family to safety.
That’s more important then my car and more then likely popping fuses or relays.
Again only in a true emergency
It is perfectly fine to do this. The car manufacturers have taken all of this into account (it isn't like they forgot how to incorporate old technology into new)
The only people who would think this doesn't work are people who don't work on vehicles themselves. This is hands down the best jump box. Excellent presentation and advice. Keep up the good work.
Thank you… 👍🏼👊🏼
