I bought the GB70 and a carrying case for it several years ago after reading all the reviews and doing a lot of research. I live in a state where the snow is deep and the temps plummet at night. Unless you can plug your car in at night, it can be difficult to start it in the morning, even for batteries with the highest CCA. The GB70 has never failed me and will take on more than I could ever put it thru. It's the best purchase you will ever make. It's very portable and easy to use, not to mention safer to use as well should you ever hook up the clamps to the wrong terminals. I can do quite a number of jumps with it and it would still show a full charge. I didn't use it for a full year one time and when I checked it to see if I needed to charge it, it still had a full charge. I used to haul around one of those huge, heavy, lead acid battery ones that were a pain in the ass. You had to constantly keep recharging them after one or two jumps or check them for a full charge before you could use them if you let them set for longer than a couple of weeks. Plus their life expectancy was short lived after recharging them so many times. I love the GB70 and will buy another one when it comes time to. When that will be, I honestly can't say. It is still performing just as strong as the day I received it several years ago.
Main issue with these things is the price. For what this costs you can get a really powerful lead-acid unit that will be much safer to use and leave charging unattended.
£150 is good if you rely on having to jump a car quickly and don’t have another car to jump off etc but it’s not something I’d buy. Beard’s coming on tho lol ZZ Top soon ?
Beard is certainly taking over 😬 I bought it because of the low miles I do in the truck so was always expecting it to drop off, battery has a five year warranty tho. Noco maintenance charger has arrived now but the truck may end up parked around the corner from the house depending on the wife so wanted something easy,, plus I will use it for 12v in the metro
What I hate about the noco’s is that they only put out 12v. Most others, Hulkman, gooloo, etc…put out 16v and more power is good if the battery is very low or dead.
@@David-zf5ex I suggest you keep a watch on it.. You do,nt want to rely on it only to realise it,s failed,, My Noco lasted two years then when I came to use it ,it was dead... Its in new condition still have all the boxes,,, it cost me alot of money so am not warning you lightly
@@lipsee100 Yes I have had a couple fail on me and they had very little use, still looked like brand new, I have been using Topdon units lately and find them brilliant at only half the price of the Gb70, I drive about a lot with work and have used these Topdons to start many people's cars but couldn't risk killing a noco for a stranger.
fair comment, I left my truck radio to the point of zero voltage and it’s just started that no issues straight away so I would still recommend one.. hopefully mine will stay in good order
I understand your feedback and can only assume you haven’t come across my channel before, I’m totally diy showing the progress of my own projects. I don’t do car repair videos as such just the ups and downs of self repair.. I could have easily edited out my mistake but I’m 100% honest in my videos and that wouldn’t be true to my subscribers
I love my GB70 so much I leave my lights on overnight so I can use it the next day 🙃
Your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the truck 🚚🛻. Lol
I’d struggle at the drive through if it was on the other side 😁

👍
Something smells fishy!!!!
Nice, I have the same gb70, which trickle charger did you get?
Can it charge phones while charging itself? Aka pass through charging?
They say with the noco jump starter when you put it on give it 30 seconds to a 1 min then start it. Where did you get it for £150
I heard that as well. Depends on the state of the battery - sometimes you may need more than a minute.
Nice one pal cant wait for more
Cheers, I will be back with so vehicle content soon 👍🏻

Is the noco still working, a lot of the units fail after very little use due to the internal circuit boards failing.
It’s still working as good as when it was new 👍🏻
@@NicksGarageUk That's good to hear, thanks for the reply.

I have a couple of other starters now and this one is the strongest, it will start my di transit with no battery fitted
mine works perfect
Do you think the GB70 is too strong for a sedan?
I don’t think you can go to big with a boost pack
Sucks when it was never power on mate. Lol
😂
you put it on the wrong termimal
I can assure you I didn’t, the wiring is all different colours to the winch unfortunately so that’s how it looks 👍🏻
@@NicksGarageUk This unit has a failsafe and will not work if you put the terminals round the wrong way.
I would save your money,,these batteries last until just out of warranty...
I have had it well over a year and it’s still working as well as when new
@@NicksGarageUk warranty lasts two years (i believe)
@@lipsee100 pretty sure it's just one years warranty on the noco, which isn't great considering some of them are around £350 for the larger ones.

I wouldn't buy one. I've fixed way too many. Bad batteries and switches.

You had no clue.how to use this….i knew the min you didn’t turn it on it wasn’t going to start…..and you do car repair videos…..wow
