That NOCO I'd need is like $206....
I doubt I'd ever get that much use out of it. My place on a client’s ranch is five miles off pavement to our house and up to another five or more miles to areas where we hunt. I’ve had to walk home before due to a dead battery. After that bought the NOCO and it is well worth the price when needed. Same for the wife’s vehicle. She can hook it up and go without needing to involve a stranger. They are cheap insurance, if and when needed, and handy too for starting other equipment.

I purchased the GB 40s for all the boys for Christmas before last.
And the HD GB 70 for self and a second for the eldest Grandaughter when she was headed to the other end of the statevfor College.
The Noco booster will start my Honda Accord, or 6.0 Chevy in thirty seconds.
Vs 15 minutes on a 50 amp charger before I can spin the motor over.
The booster has prevented me being tardy at work at least three times in the last year.
I might just buy a charger/maintainer for: Two batteries on the boat, one a deep cycle, two deep cycles on the trailer, and one more deep cycle on the PU camper.

Friends gave my daughter one for Christmas a few years ago. Called it a boyfriend in a box.

I bought one. The one that says it does 8 liter gas engines and 6 liter diesel. I think it’s GB70, 2000 watt or something like that. Seemed to be a good deal after checking prices. I also had 41 dollars in points on my Amazon credit card.
Thanks, Billy

We bought 1600A DBPower unit, used it once on a V6 Honda then she charged her phone.
It still had well over 70% charge left.
DbPower is also on sale

I bought a GB40 in '19 for a motorcycle trip to some very remote areas of Canada. I have been overly impressed. It won't always boost my big diesels but sometimes all they need is a little help if the battery isn't stone dead.
Time to go shopping again.

I went ahead and ordered that after watching a couple of YouTube reviews starting diesel engines with no battery connected. Can't hurt to have around.

I know Amazon is the devil.
NOCOs 30-45% off depending on model.
Picked up another to have one in each vehicle. Usually throw one in boat just in case. Thanks, that cost me two bills. Picked up the gb20 and gb70.
