I've just bought one after flattening the battery big style on my Ford Kuga (Escape to you folks in North America) when out camping. A real pain to have to get the recovery guy out with a starter pack). I've learned that every opening of a door boots up all the electronics as well as internal and external lights (and can't turn them off manually !!) and killed the 6 month old 75 Amp-hour Varta battery in a day. So dead I couldn't even get the tail gate to release (lucky our dog was not in the cage in the back at the time it packed up!). I'm hoping this GB70 will be over-kill on a 2 litre turbo-diesel.
I only got a 2 Litre diesel station wagon and I purchased the GB70 because I was recommended to step up because for me it's mostly just a backup for the winter when it gets really cold. My car got a bit grumpy when it went down to -30C, and ironically enough the car started fine after I purchased this device lol. It's a new winter just startng now so you never know when you need it, so it's a good investment given I live far away from everything and all. Just good to see that it does work, just for a bit of reassurence for when I may need to use it myself.
The gb70 started my powerstroke 6.0 right up. In the dead of winter with dead batteries sitting more than a month. I probably had a better connection with the cables on the first go
I’d like to have that truck I’ve had the GB70 for 4-5 years and I have never had any issues nor have I ever ran into something it would not start. Cummins, powerstroke, duramax I’ve never had the first problem. Some people like to bash on them but I must say if mine broke today I’d have to buy another
I love them both the Dodge and jump starter I think I'll get me one also I need to get another Dodge truck too had to get rid of the 02 Cummins I had because of California's twisted views on diesels
There we go! A real world test/situation. Thanks for showing us how it goes after waiting a bit. Too many tests just try it once after immediately connecting. From what I've read, the NOCO doesn't immediately put the power down vs other brands, takes a little while longer to apply. Good video though. Tested the limits and it passed. I don't care what the package says/recommends. I care what actually happens when needed.
I had mine for 4 years now and it have this far not even been able to start a even 1,6 liter petrol golf... Over the years I have tried to use it maybe 10 15 times and It has never ever given power to anything, the protection circuit always kicks in and refuses connection and to give out any power to anything... Also the protection override do not work. Also it is fully charged every time I tried it and warm...
Try shutting your doors so you aren't running the buzzer and overhead lights, etc. Can't be good if you're trying to charge while you're draining the battery.
You are mixed up the with smaller one the gb70 does 6.0 diesel 8.0 gas I have a 6.7 Cummins ram and it started it no problem when I was having battery issues
I like the GB70. I’ve owned one for about one year and boosted several cars and trucks - both gasoline & diesel, and it’s worked every single time.

You’re supposed to start the car within 60 seconds otherwise the boost pack switches itself off. It’s a safety feature

I started 6.6 Duramax with my GB70 as well as my brothers 5.9, they work for sure!!
I’d like to have that truck

Thank you for the video. Not a great ad for the mice blocker though😀

I have a topdon 2000A jump starter and it has been great if anyone is looking to get one its worth getting
GB70 rated for 8L gas/6L diesel. It’s too close. Need to upgrade to the GB150. Especially in the cold or extra dead battery
How was he supposed to use it?
Everytime you tried to start the truck, the NOCO was timed out.
No it wasn't watch the whole video the older model doesn't time out.
Try shutting your doors so you aren't running the buzzer and overhead lights, etc. Can't be good if you're trying to charge while you're draining the battery.
I read it's good to start a 6.0 gas and 3.0 diesel.

Wrong. Learn to read. Or do a quick google search…?
This is not how you use this jump box
Junk I bought one would not start small cold diesel.
Probably used it incorrectly
No it is junk.
