NOCO Boost Plus GB40 1000A 12V Car Battery Jump Starter Review

NOCO Boost Plus Car Battery Jump Starter

Every car or vehicle owner should own a NOCO battery jump starter and keep it in the automobile! It works on automobiles, motorcycles, ATV, watercraft and more.

When an automobile battery dies, it is often at inconvenient times, in inconvenient places and without warning. In my 40 years of driving, I have only had one car battery that died at home. Usually, we are in a store parking lot, traveling, or at work.

We had maintained a AAA membership for decades for just such occasions, but they don't arrive on the scene immediately. As a matter of fact, we most often have to wait for an hour or two for assistance. Depending on where we are, the time of day, and the weather, waiting over an hour is rarely reasonable.

We also have jumper cables in every vehicle, but that requires the help of a Good Samaritan with a vehicle. Sadly, when you are stranded and a car pulls up next to you, it isn't immediately obvious if you are about to be greeted by a kind soul or a criminal.

Therefore, the NOCO battery jump starter is a necessity for every car. You charge it when you first purchase it and put it in the vehicle, ready for use when needed.

Being able to jump start your vehicle without assistance from anyone else, or any other vehicle, is truly fabulous!

Another notable benefit of having the NOCO battery jump starter is that regardless of where or how you are parked, you can get to your vehicle battery without having to pull another vehicle into position to assist with jump starting. Most of us pull straight into a parking place which limits access.

GOOLOO Jump Starter Power Bank Review

GOOLOO Jump Starter Power Bank

If you've ever gotten into your vehicle, turned the key, and heard nothing but clicking, I'm sure we have shared the same sinking feeling. It has happened to me twice this week.

As a woman who lives in a place where it isn't always possible to call out for assistance, and where help may take a few hours to arrive in a best case scenario, it is essential to be prepared for just this type of emergency. Who doesn't want to be able to get up and running quickly when this happens?

After calling around and leaving some messages about needing a jump start, I waited, and waited, and waited. During the day, that is merely frustrating. At night, being stranded like that in an isolated place could be very dangerous.

Fortunately, I was able to walk to a neighbor's place to borrow a GOOLOO portable battery jump starter. First of all, I was thankful the unit was compact and lightweight (the size of my hand), since I had to carry it while walking a good distance back to my vehicle. Secondly, the fact that this power bank holds its charge over a significant period of time ensured that I wouldn't have to plug it in and wait for hours before being able to boost my battery. It was ready to go.

Though I had never before handled a GOOLOO, I discovered it was a simple tool to use. All I had to do was plug the part with the jumper cables into the power bank, clip the red and black clamps onto the same colored terminals on my SUV's battery, press the red booster button on the GOOLOO, and turn the key in my vehicle's ignition. Within seconds, my engine sprang back to life. What a relief!

If that wasn't enough reason for me to purchase my very own GOOLOO power bank, I noted several additional bonus features that make it an even better buy. For one, I can use this very same unit to charge my iPhone, laptop, iPad, or Kindle. That is a big plus when I am using those devices on the road. The GOOLOO also contains a multi-function LED flashlight in the quick charger itself, which is very handy.

It's no surprise that this product is the number one seller in its Amazon category. Having tested it out myself, I can see why it has received so many positive reviews from other users. I know I will be acquiring this very same jump starter. With winter on the way, and so many other weather-related emergencies taking place, one can never be too prepared.

Even if you live where help is nearby, there are times when you will be parked in a position where another vehicle cannot get close enough to reach your battery for a jump start. With the GOOLOO, you are set no matter where your emergency happens. It's a good feeling to know you can take care of yourself should the need occur.

This is the type of gift my dad would give me. It's a peace of mind gift to give others or yourself. And, it's pretty hard to put a price tag on something that valuable.
