I’ve had the Noco GB40 for a few years now and have had good luck with it....used multiple times and always started whatever it was that had died

VTail, did you order the GB40 Plus which is 1000 amps?

Yes.

Good for starting a vehicle, and I bet it would be good for interrogating, too.

GB40 appears to be out

I managed to get the Plus ordered.

Peace of mind and helpfulness to others coming.

Looks like it's sold out. I was up early, one of the advantages of being an Old Guy with insomnia*, so I did get an order in.

Much of the time, I see a good deal on WOOT! and try to grab it, but I'm too late. Or maybe they just have three of the items.

An update on the NOCO GB50 that I guess is both bad and good.

Bad - took one out of car in June to recharge in case it had dropped down over 6 months. This is a car that spends way more time in garage than on road, probably driven 1000 miles in that time and never subject to temp extremes. The unit wouldn’t take a charge. Tried different cables,outlets etc. no luck.

Good - emailed their support and they said to send it in with receipt and they’d test it. Couple weeks later a whoLe new unit came back along with an email saying the original failed testing.

I’m not sure that the steers me away from that brand versus any other. Any item like that can fail, and I gave these to my kids and two for ourselves last Christmas. Our son had to use it in the Texas heat in a parking lot and it worked perfectly, our daughter’s and my other one we’re both still almost 100% charged after six months of running around in the car.

If anything it’s support for putting a 6-month reminder on the calendar to recharge so you hopefully discover any issues before the booster is needed.

My noco 40 charged up my battery enough to get me home when my alternator died an hr from the house.

Battery was so drained the truck shut off. I hooked it up and let it cycle 10 min.
The noco was not fully discharged either.

We've had a NOCO GB40 for about 18 months and it has performed when needed. However, I stumbled across this other thread that led me to order an Audew for a 2nd vehicle: https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...0601935/m/4450035574.

The Audew is slightly cheaper with the Prime Day discount. The Project Farm video in that thread is what convinced me to go with Audew this time.
