The Goo Loo is superior because it uses Lithium Polymer batteries as opposed to Lithium Ion. Polymers are used in high end RC cars and have a much higher energy density than Ion. That's also why it's so small, to be so big. And, high end Lithium Polymer batteries hold their charge almost forever. I had a Goo Loo 3,000 (also LIPO batteries) sitting in the back of a Jeep for three years, and in the winter of that third year the Jeeps battery went bye, bye. I dug out the Goo Loo and it still showed a full charge. After sitting through two winters? I started wondering if the gauge was working correctly. It was and it not only started the Jeep, but it spun it really fast and it started right up. And the Goo Loo only lost one bar, after sitting for three years. That ended the Jump Box wars for me. Similarly, I had a different car I left something on in and killed it's battery. I had a giant NOCO jump starter in it and it was dead from sitting. After only a year. I gave the NOCO away and bought another Goo Loo. All four of my cars now have Goo Loo 4,000's in them, except for that one Renegade with the 3,000 in it. You can't go wrong with a Goo Loo jump starter. I even bought one for my shop, they have a ton of cars they have to start and use it almost every day. But don't ask me about their cordless tire pump. It is not readable in use and I don't think they actually make them.
From the manual: "GREEN LIGHT Blinks : Indicates the vehicle battery voltage is too low, press the “BOOST” button on the jumper cable, the GREEN LIGHT will be on and solid, please start the vehicle immediately within 30s."
The true test is starting a vehicle in January in Canada at -20°C, or worse. I've found the Gooloo brand to be good, although they work best if they're kept warm before use. They're less good if they've been sitting in the same freezing vehicle, but they usually still can manage the job. I think mine's only an 1800 though, so the 4000 presumably benefits from the extra capacity when cold.
Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely keep that in mind, especially about keeping it warm in freezing conditions. it's good to know it can handle those tough Canadian winters! I imagine the extra capacity of the 4000 would definitely help in those freezing temperatures, especially if the 1800 still manages the job. I'm happy with it so far, has been so uselful in my line of work.
You're getting ripped off. £80 is the equivalent of 6,000 pesos here in the Philippines whereas buy it here and it's just 1,000 pesos, the equivalent of £13.30. I have one and it has been excellent. I've never had to use it in my car but several neighbours have borrowed it.
That's a huge price difference! It’s great that you found it for a much better deal. Unfortunately, in the UK, everything is expensive, and prices can vary a lot depending on location and shipping costs. Glad to hear yours has been reliable-sounds like it’s come in handy for your neighbors too!
That's not being ripped of. That's just how the prices around the world work. Depending on where you live in the world the prices for same products can vary immensely. Thats often due to import taxes, governmental regulations etc. That's why you always get asked at border controls if you bought any products etc. because that would be tax evasion. This concept even works on digital markets like amazon and even for digital products like games on steam and other stores. Example from own experience: when Cyberpunk came out it was 60€ here in Germany on GOG. In Russia the price in Rubel was equivalent to only 20€
I have two. Both work as they should, unlike a previous make that I had.👍
I have used my GOOLOO GT4000 with plenty of tools. My 12v impact wrench set works great to remove lug nuts
