This can also charge your smartphones and tablets (which is probably something you are never going to do if you buy this) and has all the safety features like reverse polarity and short circuit protection. And this thing is heavy, and durable. NOCO GBX155 For starters, it has double the cranking amps of the RG1000 at 2000 amps and can jump-start vehicles with engine sizes up to 8L for gasoline and 6L for diesel. That is a lot of jump-starting power in such a small form factor. It comes with all the useful accessories. This includes a 12V DC wall charger, a car cigarette lighter charger, a micro-USB cable, 12V cigarette lighter accessory adapter, and a not-so-hardshell carrying case. I continued my testing on a 6L diesel engine (with a weak battery), and this jump starter started the vehicle just fine. So, now I removed the weak battery to simulate a completely dead battery and did my test again.

This jump-starter is also dust, mud, and waterproof. It has rubber flaps covering the jumper-cable ports and the USB ports. NOCO GBX45 was the fastest charging jump starter. It was completely recharged in 48 minutes. I had to use my MacBook’s USB-C charger because NOCO jump starters do not come with a charger. This thing also has an air compressor and at first, I was like, it can’t be any good like all other jump starter air compressor combos. But oh boy, I was wrong. It is a little bit slow when compared to standalone air compressors but still gets the job done in a decent time. Of all the 19 jump starters that I tested, these 3 are my absolute favorites. They have all the safety features, durable build quality, and everything else a geek like me can ever ask for. Noco Genius Boost GB40 For motorcycles, dirt bikes, or ATVs, you need to consider the battery clamps on the jump starter because if they are large, they might not fit on the (usually small) battery posts on your motorcycle or ATV.

The flashlight on this jump starter is bright and comes handy if you are jump-starting in the dark. It comes with smart jumper cables, USB-C cable, and a carrying case. This jump starter charges through USB-C and comes with a 3-ft USB-C charging cable and a wall charger. It does not come with a carrying pouch or case. Thanks again for the many many hours of testing that you did. Best review ever! All the best to you Frank. Reply Other than jump-starting, this little gadget can also charge your smartphone or other compatible devices at full 60 watts through its USB-C port. The battery capacity is not there as this jump starter only has a 32 Wh battery, but it can charge your device super-fast. It has the tedious USB-A charge-out port as well.

That much power from such a tiny battery is really impressive. There is also a temperature sensor on the battery which shuts the unit off when the battery gets hot.It claims to jump-start vehicles with engine sizes up to 8-liter for both gasoline and diesel engines. But that can’t be true because diesel engines don’t rely on a spark from the plugs; instead, they rely on compression to raise the temperature of the air to the point where diesel fuel combusts instantaneously.

This jump starter comes with a set of jumper cables, two high-quality USB-C cables, and a carrying pouch. Sadly no USB wall charger was included in the box, which is a bummer at this price. The jumper cable features a smart Over-Start Protection function. If you start the vehicle more than 4 times in 2 minutes, the jumper cable will turn on Over-Start Protection: The green and red light will start to blink and the battery clamps will have no output. When you disconnect the jumper cable plug from the jumper starter, the smart Over-Start Protection will reset.Because you never know when you need to make a phone call, share your location or call emergency services and your phone battery is dead. Some jump starter models also have a 12v dc out to power other 12v appliances. Also, almost all jump starters have built-in flashlights, though some models are brighter than others. The wall charger is certified by UL. This means that it shouldn’t catch on fire in the middle of the night.
