@@jimthecarguy This is old technology, haven't seen these for over 300 years, we now have multiphasic cobalt tritinium packs, about the same dimensions as one of those old fashioned credit cards, will jump start a low capacity warp engine !!!!!!
Thanks Jim, for your review. I just purchased one, and wanted some hands on information from a user of the product. I send greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 Cheers mate
I actually purchased the gb40 and i honestly couldn't believe the power this lil guy pumps out. I just got the noco gb70 but my goal is to get the 150 man o man do i love these things. Its like straight magic clamp clamp give her 5 seconds and turn the key to reveal the magic.
Jim hi I just bought mine and it came with different clamps. I like the clamps on your unit better also mine did not have the yellow warning to charge the unit before use but I already new to do that
About 3 months or so ago , i bought one made by a no name company , The first few times it done well , now will not charge back up . I really wanted to make a video bashing it , but try not to do those bad videos . Going to have to get another one soon , a lot of people seem to like this one , so i may give it a try .
Hi Jim, very informative video, I am still a bit leary of those jump packs, I guess I am just old school, but I trust your judgement, I am gonna give this one a go....Thanks , see ya next time.
Do you recharge your battery-powered jump starter on a regular basis? Because if you don't, there's a good chance that your booster jump starter's battery will be insufficiently charged to start your car when you need it. Or be prepared for a long wait to charge it somewhere else.
Nice review Jim. The GB70 is a great jump pack. I'm getting it's bigger brother the GB150. Same featues plus it displays the battery voltage & twice the rating. It'll start anything!
I just got mine and I just realized that it doesn’t come with the fast charger cable so I found it on Amazon for $60. I bought the Noco GB 70 for $200 on Amazon. Let see
That's A nice charger. I have A questions! I have heard of people using the type of charger that you plug into the cigarette lighter. And it messes up there electrical system or there computer. Is this true?
I bought this for my wife's car in case she's stuck somewhere. The only thing I hate about this is the lack of a charging unit other than a USB connection or cigarette lighter. My JNC660 jump pack has a built in charger that allows you to just connect an extension cord.
I'm guessing that the reason there is NO AC charging (house wall) plug is because that would require the PAC to have a rectifier installed. No rectifier, costs less to manufacture. Dats it!
Jim how long have you had it for ? Im literally trying to puchase one now i was going to go with the booster pac es5000 but this one reviews convinced me to get the gb 70
USB only charges at 2.1 amps. Cigarette lighter should be much quicker. Great to leave plugged in permanently in the car. Not so great for keeping in the workshop.
Not being able to charge it from a wall outlet is definitely a thumbs down. Otherwise it seems to be a good unit. That company is getting there product around. I think it's about the third review I've seen.
Hi Wyatt,Your right Eddie just told me that Ivan just did a review also and I think Mike is going to do one too.Not being able to charge it from a wall outlet is definitely 1 draw back. lucky I had an old phone charger.
How much does it cost, the noco gb 70
Check my Amazon store for more information. www.amazon.com/shop/jimthecarguy
The 4000 amp Noco Genius GB150 costs about $375. The GB70 sells for about $250 from Noco online.

Glad I could help
I agree they need a wall powered cord to charge their battery packs. It takes sway too long to be charging it with a USB cord.

Hi, do you think this jumper is enough for 6 or 8 cylinder cars?
Well I supposedly got the same jump pack coming to review. I am going to link your review in my review if that is OK with you Jim. Thanks.
Hi Mike yes that sound good .I will also link your video to mine if that OK. when you post your video let me know .Thanks
Will do Jim! Thanks. Didn't see mine yet even though they said it would be on the way.
Any issues with this unit from either of you?

I agree this one is much better than the cheaper ones.

Joel out of the 3 jump start boxes I got for review this one is the best .also this company has been around since the 1920's-1930's
Which one are you selecting, the Noco battery-powered one or the Autowit supercapacitor powered one?
The Noco is way more expensive.
Joel,if you noticed jim isnt a spring chicken himself!👀😂(old school).
Really enjoy the product reviews. I agree that it should have a regular 110 v charger. Keep up the videos!
Thank you for watching and your input.

So it's been two years since you've gotten this. Care to comment on how it's still performing?
how long will a full charge last before I need to recharge this unit?
kdrblade 5 1/2 hours
i bought one cant wait to use it
Nice review Jim. The GB70 is a great jump pack. I'm getting it's bigger brother the GB150. Same featues plus it displays the battery voltage & twice the rating. It'll start anything!
Wow that unit sounds impressive.Thank you for watching.
At $400, someone should come out and do the jump-starting for you.
You can get 3 Autowits for the price of that GB150 and they will start anything, too.
We should make noco come out with a gb150 with a wall charger it’s dumb to have a big ass booster 300 dollars but u can’t even properly charge it
I just got mine and I just realized that it doesn’t come with the fast charger cable so I found it on Amazon for $60. I bought the Noco GB 70 for $200 on Amazon. Let see
What happened to the supercapacitor jump starter that you tested earlier. I thought that that was going in your trunk.
James Koralewski your right it is in my trunk. The Noco one I gave to my daughter
@@jimthecarguy Good Choice!
I wanted to ask you how is the GB 70 holding up? Are you still using it or are you using another type/brand? Thanks!
So, which do you like better? The Noco battery jump starter or the supercapacitor jump starter?
James Koralewski that is a great question I have the super capacitor one in my personal car but I like the Noco booster pack better
Mine didn't last 1.5 years! Light would not shut off 2 times..and .kept clicking.. I just sent it back I may have to pay to fix it
How do you charged the go 70, can you charge it inside the house.
Yes if you have a charger that has a usb connector. Thanks for watching.
Will it work on a gasoline engine of 5.7 L V8 ?
Yes.
Thank you nice job
how is it for diesel engines ? are clamps really cheaply made ?
dunno yolo Yes it will work perfectly for diesels and the clamps are made well.
dunno yolo This product is so good I keep it in the trunk of my car!
Thanks for the information
I'm happy to help.Thanks for watching
Will the gb40 jump a V8?🙂
Yes as long as it is fully charged.Thanks for watching.
Not very well. Get a Noco Genius GB150 fot that. They cost a little under $400.
The gb40 should do it, the 70 for sure, the 150 is overkill.
@@acerjuglans383 I loved the 150 and I am glad I bought the extra power for stronger and longer jumpstarts.
Good review thanks, but you definitely didn't look at the manual. It's 4 pages of instructions repeated 40-50 times in different languages :D
Hey jimmy Ivan just did a review on that same noco short time ago . Come on jimmy OTC must be puller kit you going to make us wait now?
Thank you Eddie.I'm going to check out Ivan's review now.OK Eddie I'll tell you it is a hub grabber kit but don't tell anyone.yet Lol
Look up Autowit.
Jimmy just told me he carries an Autowit in his trunk for jump starts. He gave the Noco that he tested to his daughter.
That's A nice charger. I have A questions! I have heard of people using the type of charger that you plug into the cigarette lighter. And it messes up there electrical system or there computer. Is this true?
I have never had or heard of that kind of problem.

I'm guessing that the reason there is NO AC charging (house wall) plug is because that would require the PAC to have a rectifier installed. No rectifier, costs less to manufacture. Dats it!
Thank you for watching.
Jim how long have you had it for ? Im literally trying to puchase one now i was going to go with the booster pac es5000 but this one reviews convinced me to get the gb 70
Nightmare Mike I've used it a few times and it worked great. Just remember that you need to charge it periodically
Warning I bought one 2 years ago GB70 used it twice keep it in my truck stop charging it will not charge USB or 12 volt of any way or form
i also bout the gb40 on amazon
USB only charges at 2.1 amps. Cigarette lighter should be much quicker. Great to leave plugged in permanently in the car. Not so great for keeping in the workshop.
Thanks!
I have both the supercapacitor jump starter in my trunk and a Noco Genius GB150 battery jump starter.
Not being able to charge it from a wall outlet is definitely a thumbs down. Otherwise it seems to be a good unit. That company is getting there product around. I think it's about the third review I've seen.

NOCO now makes a wall outlet charger adapter. It's $39
When can i buy noco genuis boost gb40
Check my Amazon Store it s there .Thanks for watching . Here are some of the tools that jimthecarguy uses
www.amazon.com/shop/jimthecarguy
This vehicle would be a perfect candidate for the supercapacitor jump starter.
If you would of actually opened the instruction manual you would know that it’s only big because it’s in 20 different languages.....
That's BS. You won't get 40 starts out of it. It may not even start one if you don't regularly recharge the unit before it is actually needed.
Just bout a used one, yes need a house charge too.
I'm happy to help. Thank you for watching.
Nice review, nice product. I still prefer my pocket-sized GP40.

199,00 for the gb70
Is this guy for real I would never bring again thing to him to fix
