NOCO Boost GB150: 3000A UltraSafe Jump Starter – 12V Lithium Battery Booster Pack, Portable Jump Box, Power Bank & Jumper Cables – for 9.0L Gas and 7.0L Diesel Engines

Works On A 2 Battery Vehicle. Be Aware Of Sparking Potential.
First off, this product arrived on time and undamaged.Initial Thoughts:This product was packaged very well and it seems quick sturdy and well made. It arrived with a minor charge and took 3 “full” days to fully charge it to 100% while utilizing the included USB power cable in a North American Wall Outlet with USB adapter.Why We Bought It:My wife and I own a H1 6.5L diesel dual turbo (two 12V batteries system) and we live in a region where the days typically stay below freezing and even in the negatives for weeks on end. This longevity of cold weather frequently results in damaged and drained vehicle batteries in our area. In the past, we wasted a lot of money on new batteries until we bought the NOCO Genius G4 Charger. Unfortunately, we cannot utilize it as a trickle charger due to the distance the vehicle has to set away from a power outlet, but we can easily remove the batteries to repair or “boost” them when needed. To date, we have been able to revive many (6 batteries), but not all, damaged and/or drained batteries. The G4 Charger is a hit and miss with us honestly (as our review on that product states); but overall, when it works, it saves us a lot of money instead of frequently purchasing new batteries. Due to our understanding of that product’s built quality, we felt purchasing the NOCO Genius Boost Pro GB150 would be a safe bet. We also felt that as long as we can start a vehicle with the GB150, we can at least get it to where we need it and then us the G4 to fully charge it and/or repair it at a later time. In short, the GB150 does seem very well made and sturdy.Before I progress, it is also important to mention that prior to taking the leap in purchasing this product, we even attempted to keep our H1 attached to 4 interconnect 9W NOCO Solar Panels (trickle charging system), but we quickly discovered they are useless for a 2 battery system (even in the summer months). That being stated, the panels are good for charging cell phones and other electronic devices over a “long'” period of time in “direct” sunlight. Since our prior attempts with 4 NOCO solar panels didn’t help us maintain a continuous charge and since other battery jumper devices never had enough amps to jump our 2 battery vehicle, we bought this NOCO Genius Boost Pro GB150, charged it upon receiving it, and have waited for a good day to test it.Initial Conditions Tested In and the Results:We have not driven our H1 in 3 freezing weeks (via being out of town) and today we awoke to 7 inches of snow and -5 degrees F. After attempting to start the H1, there was not enough power to crank it over prior to using the GB150. However, once we attached the GB150, it only took 2 cranking attempts and the H1 was purring with no issues. As such, this product works!However, we did experience one flaw. Supposedly, this system is supposed to prevent sparking unless you override the system and turn off its safety features on a fully drained battery (below 2V); however, on the first crank it sparked significantly and suddenly. Since the H1 is so wide and since the view was restrictive by the engine when we cranked it, we were unable to see what initiated the spark. On the second attempt, we checked the connections (which seemed fine) and attempted to crank it again without touching any clamps between the battery terminals and the GB150. This time there were no sparks and it started right up.So you may ask, why did it spark the first time and not the second when no cables were touched? We have no idea. Perhaps we missed something the first time, but we wanted to warn everyone that there “is” a potential for sparking so please be careful. Perhaps there was some corrosion on the terminal or perhaps some snow (since it was snowing and we did this outside) created a short or some sort. In either case, this product “did work” which makes it a good investment for us. We hope it lasts and gives us years of problem-free results.How Long To Recharge After Use?It took approximately 5.5 hours to recharge the GB150 back to 100% after utilizing it this morning. Again, this is utilizing a wall adapter and “not” a computer or cigarette lighter adapter as it states it is capable of doing.Conclusion:With everything considered. This product is well made, sturdy, and does what it’s advertised to do. However, since the first cranking attempt resulted in unknown sparking, it is important to remember you are working with electricity and you should always utilized the proper safety protection (goggles, gloves, etc) when operating this booster. That being stated, in utilizing this product with the NOCO Genius G4 Charger, we finally have a winning system that is saving us money. We hope this review helps.

Just wowwww …
This device is insane .I have been using standard 50 pound jump starters for years and they usually , but not always , performed sufficiently , and not always reliably . Lately , for the last 2 years , I have been dealing with a failing ” battery saver module ” in my 2007 Ford F350 CrewCab 4×4 6.0 diesel pickup . The short explanation is that when the outside temps drop below 60 to 50 degrees , the battery saver module kicks in . Once the days get cooler and the BSM activates it completely drains both batteries in my truck in about 2 days while my truck sits unoperated . My standard jump box just wasn’t charging sufficiently anymore to jump my truck from a dead start , and about 2 weeks ago it completely failed even though it was as charged as it was going to get . After reading up on these type of jump starters and reading tons of reviews for different brands and sizes of these jump boxes , I wasn’t completely confident that these things can or would actually operate as the manufacturers claim . I decided to purchase the NOCO GB150 mostly because ;1. They are an American manufacturer and …2. because they have been manufacturing vehicle assistive devices for many years and have an established reputation and …3. because their machines aren’t built around add on cheap , junky , gimmicky crap like tire inflators , laser lights , compasses , radios , mini winches , etc….its just a solid jump box built into a strong , high quality housing with a useful , quality LED headlight and a few plugs for USB and charger adapters , and..4. it seems to have better overall safety features than the other comparable brands , plus it is rated for much larger engines , and I did not find any other brand offering a machine rated for such large engines and..5. In comparing the NOCO GB150 and it’s parts such as the cables and post clamps to other brand boxes , the NOCO quality seems to be solid , professional quality .After receiving the box and examining it , it is my opinion that this is a finely manufactured product , no cheap or flimsy parts at all .Charging it completely out of the box as advised in the user manual took about 12 hours . The following afternoon I went out to my truck to start it up . It was about 3pm and the afternoon temp was about 75 degrees , and the overnight temp got down to about 49 to 53 degrees . My truck had been parked for 12 days without being started , and the batteries were completely dead . I attached the post clamps , waited about 1 minute , and keyed the ignition switch. The engine kicked over vigorously , no lag , no hesitation . I went into town to do chores and run errands , making several stops throughout the afternoon . I jumped my truck 5 more times that afternoon . When I returned home , I checked the box and the charge indicator gauge showed the box STILL at 100% . I left the box on the passenger side of the floor for the next use . I went out 2 days later , jumped my truck that morning and 4 more times that day . Upon returning home I checked the box and the charge indicator gauge showed the charge at 75% ! Think about that …I jumped my 6.0 diesel 11 times over a 4 day periodwithout recharging this box , and it only used approximately 1/4 of the contained charge ..that is unreal .After reading the reviews , the only concern I had –apart from this box actually performing as the manufactures claimed it would — was the complaints from a few customers that the power component ( battery pack ) failed rather early …there were only like 3 or 4 reviews with this complaint …in contrast there were hundreds of 4 and 5 star reviews for this box , none of which mentioned the box having a short lifespan or otherwise failing . Also , there were a few follow up reviews from guys who had purchased the box more than a year or more prior and talked about how the box was still functioning dependably as it was designed to do .One other thing to keep in mind is that should the battery pack fail , NOCO states in its user manual that it does rebuild the box should the owner send it in for such service .In conclusion I absolutely recommend this box or its smaller versions . In my opinion , NOCO builds the best quality box , and judging from other reviews , also maintains a responsive Customer Assistance department which is important as these jump boxes are not a throwaway item . Buy this jump box . 5 STARS !

Tough and long lasting jump box
Great product! They last for year’s even when abused. Use this model daily at our shop. Only time we replace them is when someone looses it lol! I haven’t had one yet to loose the ability to not Jumpstart a car yet. I wouldn’t buy a model lower than this unit here though. You won’t get the same performance

Parfait. Très robuste sécurisé et efficace.Très bon produit .

Ich habe den NOCO Boost PRO (GB150) jetzt seit etwas mehr als einer Woche.Testweise habe ich den GB150 1x vollgeladen und danach über Nacht draußen im Pkw gelagert, um ihn dann an einem 2006er Diesel mit 3,0l als V6, ohne angeklemmte Batterie, mittags bei ca. 12 Grad Celsius, zu verwenden und kurz danach an einem 1999er Diesel mit 2,5l als Reihensechszylinder, ebenfalls ohne angeklemmte Batterie.Zusätzlich habe ich den GB150 an dem 1999er Diesel mit 2,5l als Reihensechszylinder, ohne angeklemmte Batterie, vormittags, auch schon bei ca. 5 Grad Celsius, testen können, nachdem er über Nacht im Auto gelagert wurde.Beide Pkw konnten bei jedem Versuch ohne Probleme gestartet werden, allerdings ist beim Versuch mit dem 3,0l Diesel die Spannung beim Starten auf ca. 8V abgesunken und insgesamt kann man sagen, dass der GB150 beim Startversuch mit dem 3,0l Diesel zumindest klanglich schon nahe der Leistungsgrenze zu sein schien.Fazit: Das Gerät macht, was es soll, es ist gerade noch als kompakt zu bewerten und definitiv viel leichter als ein “klassischer Booster” im Pkw-Bereich, äußerlich sehr gut verarbeitet und in Kombination mit dem NOCO GBC015, als Hülle, inkl. des kompletten Zubehörs, sehr gut zu transportieren.Aber der GB150 ist mit 89Wh, laut Hersteller Website, und „22500 J/3s“, laut Gehäuse der älteren Modelle, also mit einer Kapazität von ca. 7,42Ah bei 12V und einer Abgabeleistung über 3 Sekunden von durchschnittlich je Sekunde 2,08kW, auch erwartungsgemäß in Kapazität und Leistung kleiner als ein “klassischer Booster” im Pkw-Bereich.

Great bit of kit, very easy to use and starts a completely dead battery without any bother.I was able to jump start my cars battery after it went flat (3L V6 diesel XF X250) without any problems. It comes with a little drawstring bag for you to store it in, alongside its charging cable (which you can charge via USB C or via 12v cigarette lighter socket, both are supplied).It is extremely simple to use, you just connect it up to your battery and off it goes. If it doesn’t detect the battery because its that flat, press the boost button! Oh and it also has a torch and can act as a power bank, neat!Fantastic little device that I’ll be keeping in my boot in case myself or anyone needs a jump start in future, what a little life saver this thing is!
