I have the Noco GB70. I've started a stone dead ambulance with it at work. It's gotten me out of a bind many times. Holds a charge well, and charges fast. We use some of the bigger models at the firehouse and have had great luck with them for years.
ETA: Check out the Project Farm guy's video he did of different jump packs. Great break down of the options. |

Have Noco’s in all my vehicles and boat. Top the charge off every 6 months.
ETA: if you do go with that brand, it’d be worth checking Amazon price history on camel^3, they go on sale routinely. |

I have had the Noco gb70 for a few years, works great. Started a diesel tractor with it yesterday. I have a 40 as well for smaller stuff, golf carts etc.
While it has never let me down I would not mind a bigger one someday. |

Jump packs like the JNC are lead acid batteries and the gooloo/noco/antigravity xp-10 are lithium. I don't know if the battery chemistry would play into your decision, but there it is.

NOCO is GD’s jumper of choice. It’s a good one, but there are other good choices too.
Project Farm has some great videos. Find the newest one. |

The booster pac 2500 You can likely replace the battery out on that one. I saw the jnc comes with an after warranty expires coupon that is a one time use flat rate of $75 to fix or replace. Now it makes sense as it's most likely just a battery swap. Im going to look into replacing the battery in my current pack and keeping that in my work truck. And getting gooloo or noco for my wife's vehicle Thanks |

My Halo has worked well.
Jumped my nissan hardbody, jumped a dodge caliber, a flat dead tundra, etc. It did fail on the 7.3L IDI ford van but that turned out to be a seized starter. Charges my phone and PS4 controllers on a gaming day too! I use it to inflate my tires too. |

My wife and I keep Schumacher DSR jumpers in our cars. Check them every few months and keep them topped off. Last time I used mine it was only at 70% capacity, still worked to jump a coworkers car, but poor form.

I have a JNC950, I'm happy with it but looking to get a smaller one. The 950 weighs a ton.
Anyone have the JNCAIR? I like the idea of having an onboard compressor, plus the longer cables. |

Just ordered the Gooloo linked in the threat. $109 ain't bad. |

If it’s a lead acid pack you had that stopped working, do you still have it? Last year I replaced the internal battery for $45 on a Duracell HD600 inverter/ jumper I bought in 2010 or so and it was easy to do
As it turns out I had to use it a few times this week when the 5 year old battery in my truck died until I was able to replace it. Let me know if you want me to dig up the info on the manufacturer, it was way cheaper buying the replacement direct than it was on Amazon ETA it was Chrome Battery. Send them an email asking which replacement cell you need [email protected] |

I have one for a go-pro and one for each of two video cameras used to record my daughter's softball games. No problems with any of them. I have a calendar reminder on my phone to top off their charge every 3 months, but I could easily stretch that out to 6 months. You can't say that for NOCO products. |

I have a NOCO and and Audew lithium pack. I check each one every 6-9 months. They always have at least 80% charge when checked. The two main advantage lithiums have over lead are the size/weight and the slower discharge rate over time. My old lead jumpers would be dead in 9 months. I think the lead ones work better in extreme cold IIRC, but using the lithiums will warm them up, and then they start working. So you may have to crank a few times with the lithiums, but then they warm up and start working well. |

I asked before checking. Looks like any usb c charger will work. Im assuming it just effects how long it takes to charge. |

a set of cables and another car. anything light enough to carry either wont have the balls, or will burn your house down. anything that wont, will be to heavy to use. cables never die, never burn your house down. there is always another car around. and cables arent dead when you most need them.

Quote HistoryQuoted: we can agree that we both wrong I guess. cause I'm not. you never leave lipo batteries fully charged. and a half charged battery wont be great at starting a car. you can be lucky and not have a fire. lots of people can be lucky. just like lots of O-lights haven't exploded. doesn't mean it cant happen. Actually I was more focused on the other part of your argument, that if it's not the type to set your house on fire it's either too heavy to use or won't do the job. |

I do keep a set of cables in my truck along with my jump starter, just for redundancy, but I have to disagree with everything you said, otherwise. If there is always another car around for you, that’s great, but that’s nowhere near reality for me. |
