Company has been around since 1914!!! That says a lot.. 2020 and I just bought one! Not driving the SUV a lot during the Pandemic.. Plus not having to asking a stranger for jump during the Pandemic is worth it.. TOTAL WIN!

My Genius Boost has saved me so many times! I pretty much know nothing about cars except how to put gas in and I had never jump-started a vehicle in my life (either my husband, tow truck drivers, or good Samaritans did it for me), but I was able to jump my car easily the first time I ever used my Genius Boost. It’s saved me so much money and time spent waiting for tow trucks. The last time I called a tow truck for help, I had to wait three hours and it cost me $60 bucks for the 20 seconds it took the tow truck driver to connect his battery jump-starter pack to my car. It took him longer to process my payment than it took to jump my car! But now I have my own jump-starter that I can connect just as fast! It’s never taken me more than 60 seconds to go from dead battery to running engine. I couldn’t live without it.

This a great compact unit. Safe to use for sure. Only drawback (minor) is the jumper cable heads are a little bulky and can be hard at times to connect to the battery posts. Great advantage is you can jump your own dead battery but also when you help others, you don't have to use your car battery (risk of damage) and no need to move either vehicle. The little guy has got me up and going a few times and I carry it with me everywhere that I go. I've used it more to help out strangers and it's worked every single time. Only used it once on an V8 and that gave me the most trouble but V6 and below - spot on!

If like me you have one of these and still carry jumper cables just in case then you can hook this up to your cables and go for it.

And you can recharge it as you drive using the cigarette lighter socket for older cars or USB straight up. Pretty handy little gadget.

just purchased one of these units I'm impressed with its performance so here's hoping It starts my little car.

Thanks for the review! I literally just got this battery booster delivered minutes ago. I can't wait to use it!

Your review answered the question I had in the first 90 seconds of watching. 😊!!

Perfect video, no bs. Straight to the point and loved that you tested it without the battery even

Just used the exact same booster on my mates battery which was completely flat and it started it without any problems at all. I was very surprised coz it’s so small. I’ll be buying one soon

talk about a huge safety plus - no worries on what kind of person is stopping to 'help' you. (I know that sounds bad but you honestly cannot be too careful these days especially when your kids are in the car).

March 2024 this gb40 works on my 2.4L Camry. Battery not completely dead had some lights. Started right away I would never drive without it.

Just purchased one of these, will try on my e60 tomorrow. In my case it’ll attach to the terminals under the bonnet and not to the battery. Fingers crossed it’ll work 👍

Did this ever work

You mentioned the 'Emergency Boost' @2:00 'if the person needs to use all of the power'. That is incorrect and should only be used if the battery is completely dead and is not being recognized by the GB40. Holding in that override button will disable the safety features of the GB40 and get it to jump the battery even if the battery is too low. Pressing that button and disabling the safety features does not result in more cranking power. It remains the same.

I am glad that the remote crank worked for you, but I can't get anything on the unit I have and it is new and the multi-meter read 2.4 volts on the battery, but nothing when the vehicle was attempted to be cranked. I am going to check the vehicle again tomorrow before giving up and buying another battery.

My car battery somehow died yesterday and had to find someone to jump start my car. I decided to buy this Noco Gb40, haven't used it before, but will have it ready to use if my car battery ever doesn't start.

Next time just try start your car. A failed start isn't going to do any damage. Also no, I believe the leds will blink red to green sequentially, whether you need a boost or not.

So, apparently newer Subarus have battery problems at around 12,000 miles. My 2020 Outback at 12,300 miles has died 3 times in a week had to jump each time. Subaru put in a new battery but that just a bandaid...problem of battery drainage not fixed. Waiting for my NOCO to show up, I don’t trust the battery anymore and I don’t want wife stranded somewhere.

reading 0.63V output (no load, just a volt meter) and was expecting 12v. Charge LED is solid green - is the unit shot or does it need to be under load?

I haven't used it in - 5 Fahrenheit. I've used it maybe - 5 to - 10 celcius, (around 20F) with zero problems. - 5F is right at the limit of its operating range, and usually they would give a buffer, so I would wager it will start a car up at -5f. If you're talking celcius than absolutely it will.

The point is that many jump start tests have a connected battery and you have no idea if that battery is actually flat or not. This test proves that no matter what the condition of the battery this unit will start this car (no guarantees on larger engines or diesels).

I bought this unit 2 yrs ago and its total junk.I have tried 3 different times to start a dead car on the road and failed all 3 times.Also each time i take it out its almost dead.So unless you charge this every month it will be dead anyway.You cant throw it in your glove box because its dead in 30 days.
