3EE48346-05B2-4910-8C3D-FB0E9088729C.jpeg I just bought a Noco GB40 portable boost pack. Any of y’all use one or a Equivalent?
After reviews this seemed to meet my needs the best. Watched one start 6 cars yesterday with completely dead batteries. Also it was 5 degrees were the video was taken.

I got one during 'amazon days' last July and we have (my son esp) has used it extensively. It's their house brand of Electronics "Tack-Life" chinesium but works well.
Mine's the 16500 mAH version but starts my 5.3L Suburban easily when the battery is ran down (due to the stupid instrument panel voltage leak....) to around 10.5V.
Also charges cell phones or anything else with a USB charging cable, and comes with a 12V DC cig lighter adapter. Handy piece of kit for $60
 
I looked at those but ended up going with a larger jump box. The one in the video would store easier but I wanted the larger one for my tractor as a just in case. I think it puts out 1200 cranking amps. So far I’ve used it three times this year to start my boat when we forgot to turn off the kill switch and the radio drained the battery.

Did you recharge it after each use or just keep using it until it died!
I got one just for my vacation. Plus to carry on a motorcycle to charge phones or a jump if needed.

I charged it back up after the third jump and charging my wife’s phone. It’s a Schumacher brand that I bought at tractor supply. Not sure if it is an agm or lithium battery but even after the third jump it still showed a full charge. My boat only has a 90 horse power 4 cylinder engine though so it doesn’t take a lot to turn over. I intend on buying at least two more of the smaller jump boxes, one for my bike and one for my wife’s mail cars. The one I have is rather large and heavy. It won’t fit in a saddle bag but under the boat seat or in the truck it is fine.
