The Goo Loo is superior because it uses Lithium Polymer batteries as opposed to Lithium Ion. Polymers are used in high end RC cars and have a much higher energy density than Ion. That's also why it's so small, to be so big. And, high end Lithium Polymer batteries hold their charge almost forever. I had a Goo Loo 3,000 (also LIPO batteries) sitting in the back of a Jeep for three years, and in the winter of that third year the Jeeps battery went bye, bye. I dug out the Goo Loo and it still showed a full charge. After sitting through two winters? I started wondering if the gauge was working correctly. It was and it not only started the Jeep, but it spun it really fast and it started right up. And the Goo Loo only lost one bar, after sitting for three years. That ended the Jump Box wars for me. Similarly, I had a different car I left something on in and killed it's battery. I had a giant NOCO jump starter in it and it was dead from sitting. After only a year. I gave the NOCO away and bought another Goo Loo. All four of my cars now have Goo Loo 4,000's in them, except for that one Renegade with the 3,000 in it. You can't go wrong with a Goo Loo jump starter. I even bought one for my shop, they have a ton of cars they have to start and use it almost every day. But don't ask me about their cordless tire pump. It is not readable in use and I don't think they actually make them.
I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago. I have a Honda Civic sitting on the drive for the last 7 years. Battery has been dead a longtime probably 4 years now. I connected the Gooloo to the Civic, the temperature was -2° Celsius. I turned the ignition and the car started immediately. Enough said this device is the best out there.
I have one that bought after watching Project Farm a couple of years ago. It’s boosted a lot of things in 2 years and still works great. I bought a NOCO Genius charger last year and once I mastered the learning curve, I now like it
Great Review, we reviewed the Gooloo GT4000 a while back, we are very pleased with it. I believe the difference with the GT4000 & GT4000S is that the GT4000 has the preheat technology up to -40 degrees & the GT4000S does not have preheat technology in the frigid temps. But either way the Gooloo GT4000S is a great unit. How do you like yours?
@jaylmw08 The GT4000S does not have the preheat technology. The GT4000s will work in as low as -4 f and up to 140F. The GT4000S does not have the preheat technology mechanism that senses when the unit is too cold then heats up with the pre heat technology. The GT4000 does have the preheat technology mechanism that will turn a little snowflake icon on the LCD screen when the unit is in the frigid temps down to -40 F, after around 100 seconds of the unit being hooked up to the battery the snowflake icon should disappear, then you will be able to jump start in frigid weather. Just wanted to clarify that the GT4000S does not have the preheat technology. However, it will work down to -4 F, but that doesn't mean it has preheat technology.
I have a buddy with a body shop and swears by those jump boxes. Everyone it snows he moves up to 20 cars to clear snow. Many need to be jumped , one of those boxes does them all . Thanks for the video 🇺🇸
Just got one! 110$ on amazon. Had a cheap one that worked somewhat ok but when it wouldnt jump a smaller size excavator i knew i needed a little gooloo in my life lol
I just got the gt4000s model! From what I can tell the s stands for "supersafe" lithium battery with 10 safety features. Not sure how many yours has or how different; I hope it doesn't take away from performance with all the safety stuff lol
The battery on my pontoon boat was dead. i couldn't turn over my Mercury 115, gave it a jump with my Gooloo 4000 and it turned right over. Don't leave home without one!!
I bought one of these and it left me stranded when I needed it, good thing someone came around with booster cables. Maybe I got a defective unit or these things are junk?
That internal heater is crucial for getting the Lipo battery up to a temp where the internal resistance is low enough to discharge that "4000A" which I have my doubts about but its still probably well over 1000A if not 2000A
One of the things that really makes me doubt the 4000A peak discharge is the wiring on the jumper cables. Yeah its a very short current but even 8AWG 200C rated silicone is rated for what? 200A max? Yeah thats continuous but its a matter of resistance and even 2 feet of 8AWG will give you a few milliohms...and we're talking about a battery that is less than a milliohm. It should be 0.25mΩ to discharge that much current. (rough guess based on knowing that 280Ah 3.2V LiFeP04 cells are 0.28mΩ per the datasheet and those cells are rated 1C continuous)
They say "peak" amps, like those old dinky computer speakers that used to advertise 100 watts, but actually make 5 usable watts. It produces 800 starting watts. That's the number that actually turns the starter motor.
Excellent video Gino :) also lots those booster packs better than old were made years ago also new ones like 100 amps boost per second and fire up engine like get booster from Tow Truck and plus faster on gas or deisel motor! But drain booster pack completely dead before recharge again for let be complete dead for 30 mins then recharge up pack again just like cellphone battery!
Nice video. I have the gt4000 (not “s”). It has the preheat mode and temp readout, which the “s” model does not have. One tip: If you would have read your owners manual 😮, you would see that charging the unit with the lighter plug will charge it about 20 tomes faster than a standard usb-c cable. Fully charged in about 80 minutes.
We got 3 inches here in Northern Arizona this morning! Nice jumper pak! We use em here often! NAPA’s are heavy as hell and we got a NOCO which is small like yours and then two other I can’t remember the brand! Oh one is a Blue some thing! All work fine!
I thought you can only crank for 3sec. Then you need to rest. However, you can have 4 x 3sec cranks in 10min. A 3sec crank is not a long duration for a diesel. I would assume that you could crank longer than 3sec but the amperage would drop off down to 500 say for 5sec.
Uh, I'm not going to read the manual because I am such a manly man. I am also going to goof around for several minutes wondering how the product works because I didn't read the manual. Asinine!!
Hi thanks im a subscriber. How does this Gooloo GT4000S compare to the original Gooloo GP4000 ? Also how does it compare to the Noco GBX155 ? Thanks. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon
I bet you do only have 3 inches lol . That seems like a decent booster it fired the tractor right over . I like my charger has a recondition mode and seems to work well on dead batteries like that to give them a boost of life . Thanks for sharing !
@FarmallFanatic Of course I did. Fully charged at 100%. Managed only to lit up dashboard but no power to crank the engine, only a little click. Then turned off to reset, boost mode, and same think happened. Tried 3 times and did not work. Called recovery, they use theirs which was bigger and started first time, no issues. Battery was flat. It worked to start my wife's Toyota prius 1.8L petrol but that it is not good enough. I had 2 of them for emergency fully charged in each car and returned both of them.
@@FarmallFanatic Yeah, I've tried a couple of them in the past and that one you have is probably better. But the 2 I have don't seem to hold out as long. I decided to just carry an extra battery in each vehicle. It gives me a backup if something happens to the main battery under the hood. Plus with all the electronics under the hood of most cars today I will not use jumper cables to my car or trucks battery, I use the spare. They trickle charge when the vehicle is running. To each their own I guess.
you keep trying it when it stopped saying ready as you had it connected and kept talking long enough for the ready text to go away and then pressed the boost button , which of course brought the ready sign up again. Could you try it again and try starting the vehicle without boost as soon as it says ready ?
Bought one and never used it. Doesn't hold a charge after 1 month sitting there. Still under warranty. Contacted support. Even with proif of payment they do everything NOT to honour the warranty....beware...😢😮😮

Yeah this is the best one I've owned
A GREAT product ! I have had one for quite a while and never had any problems with it. I would reccomend it to anyone.
Me too
It even comes with a M1913 picatinny rail mount!
You know it
Just got one! 110$ on amazon. Had a cheap one that worked somewhat ok but when it wouldnt jump a smaller size excavator i knew i needed a little gooloo in my life lol
I like mine for sure..
I need to find something for 6 volt systems.
I've been a lot better about putting a tender on those 6 V batteries
When it comes to charging rechargable batteries slower is ALWAYS better.
Agree

Not bad. Not big or bulky like most jump boxes.
No and it packs a mean punch it's the best pack I've ever owned
I bought a GT 4000 with case for storage in trunk. Unit & Case made by MOOLOO
cool, thx for sharing !!! i'm buying one
I bought a Norco 75 and I love it!

@@ericklein5097so not with getting the 4000S version? 😮 I just purchased it yesterday and can swap to a better model.
They say "peak" amps, like those old dinky computer speakers that used to advertise 100 watts, but actually make 5 usable watts. It produces 800 starting watts. That's the number that actually turns the starter motor.
I bought the same one on amazon two days ago on prime total was 117.00, before in sign it listed about 200.00
I never heard of that brand before. I'll check them out.
Yeah click on the link they're running a special
Have you ever figured out why the switch is needed on the battery?
Yes because it back bleeds because it was wired wrong
Just like 50% of all of them that were converted to 12 V
The Goo Loo is a go, now let's go scrape some snow! 😄
I was hoping we got a little bit more than what we did
@@FarmallFanatic Nothing here but rain and mud.
When I was a kid I wish those existed. I worked nights and my car always needed jumped. Couldn't find anyone to give me a jump at 3am
Life sure has gotten easier
Have 2, a 2000 and 4000. Love em both
Hello Mike,
Can you start a tractor or diesel truck with the 2000?
we just got 8 in an still snowing here in New brunswick ,canada
I think February we are going to get pounded the lake didn't freeze over
Which is better Gooloo are Noco battery booster?'
Gooloo
We got the jackpot here in Maine. We got a foot here in the Augusta area. Some places got more 🥶
That would put the Cub to the test
I have an isolator switch on my 1958 McCormick simply because it's still got its original wiring 🙄 that booster pack sure does the job 👍 Red Power 💥
Yeah it's way better than my other one
Gooloo jump starter still working good?
@mechtechtools838 very good
I'm going to buy one of those Farmall approved
Excellent video Gino :) also lots those booster packs better than old were made years ago also new ones like 100 amps boost per second and fire up engine like get booster from Tow Truck and plus faster on gas or deisel motor!

the disconect is supose to be on the ground side if you think im full of it look at cat equipment
I'm not arguing that
just asking,...Why is your positive cable black and your ground cable red?
My guess is that when they converted it, they never changed cables
Any idea where I can get a used camshaft for a farmall c175 motor? Greetings from Springfield Missouri. Thank you for any information.
Not right off the top of my head but I will keep my feelers out
Can you talk about the f tag those are the dmv hard plates for farm trucks
To me an F tag is almost worse I mean yeah you save money on the registration but you can't drive but only certain hours of the day

What are the differences between a GT4000 vs GP4000?
Not much I think the GP might be a little more compact
I think gt4000 has a quick charge feature
Cool little jumper
Yeah it's nice
Not a bad idea to read the manual after all, eh?
Eh
What battery is that in your cub?
That is a good question I will have to look tomorrow
We got 8 to 10 inches in s.e.colorado.
Is it the type of snow that melts and goes away or does it stay for the entire Winter
It will be here for awhile. Much-needed moisture for sure.
Would it handle longer cranking of a diesel?
Yeah up to 10 l
I thought you can only crank for 3sec. Then you need to rest. However, you can have 4 x 3sec cranks in 10min. A 3sec crank is not a long duration for a diesel. I would assume that you could crank longer than 3sec but the amperage would drop off down to 500 say for 5sec.
Good video. That waiting 10 minutes thing kind of sucks though. These jumper packs are cool as hell though!

Directions are just another man's opinion
Yup and I like instincts better
Would this work on a 6 volt system as well or just a 12 volt system?
This is 12 V only
@@FarmallFanatic that’s what I figured. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for all your videos.

Over carrying something this small?

Maybe they should have called it Good Lord!
Is the click bait shocker
If you read the instruction you would know "what 3 means" 😂
I actually had to read it so now I know l o l
Since Gooloo jacked up their prices…. NOCO is starting to look more attractive
Noco needs to be reloaded every 3 month, Gooloo every 12 month and the GT4000 - Not the GT4000S ! - heats itself in winter.
They are on sale now. Amazon has it 45% off. I just bought one
Maybe if you get one that works, I didnt and got no warranty. A $200 brick. Roll the dice if you wish. I am done with anything from China.
