Battery jumper pack

[taskswap]

The takeaway is that every single one of these is a lithium pack, a plastic case, and a short pair of jumper cables that plugs into it. It probably doesn't matter which you get. Lithium ion cells can push massive amps, period. They're perfect for the task, no matter what brand wraps plastic around them. It's like reading reviews of 21-degree framing nails. A 0.131" nail from vendor A is going to work the same as from vendor B.

Jump to the last couple minutes to see the results…he does a pretty thorough test on how they all perform.

NOCO GBX155 4250 peak amps, cranks my 7.3L Powerstroke dead cold in 10°F no sweat, zero extras like compressors. $300 on Amazon, tough as nails, USB ports for phone topups. For HD diesel, grab 2000 peak amps minimum skip cheapos under 1500. Mine's saved my ass 20 times.

I had a Noco GB70 for 8ish years. Did at least a couple hundred jumps. Tractors in the cold, diesel pickups...

Replaced it with another one and stuck it in the wife's Subaru, it's still going.

I second the Noco GBX 155. It has never let me down and has come in handy far more than I thought it would. High quality stuff from Noco

I greatly prefer the softer plastic Metabo uses to the hard plastic on the Grip Rite nails.

These kind of threads cost me money. But I need one, so I’ll pick between the 2 recommended most. About a month ago, I had to jump my diesel at home, so I had another vehicle handy. I have about 3 pair of cables between home/vehicles, and after the first two wouldn’t do it, the third pair did. What was different about the third? Larger cable, and SIGNIFICANTLY stronger clamps. So if anyone has compared the clamps of the Nolo and the GooLoo, which has the stronger clamps? You know you just have a thin bar nowadays and not a big battery post to clamp to.

I think the clamps on my Noco could hoist an elephant.
