Need a recommendation for one please. Are the Optima Battery ones any good?

. I’ve got one that’s 9 years old.  Will run a car without a battery.

We use these at work.......frequently.

I limped a truck with a failed alternator back to the shop with one of those zip-tied to the grill a few weeks ago.

I'm very happy with my NOCO GB70. It works great, holds a charge well, has nice quality metal hinges on the clamps, etc. I had to use it the other day and after sitting for 5 months or so in my trunk without charging, it fired my car right up 3 times in a row from being completely dead. Then it still had plenty of battery left, but I went ahead and recharged it.


I tried an Audew after the project farm video, but that thing was junk. He either got paid to shill for them, or he overlooked the majority of the problems with it.

It had some of the cheapest clamps with a plastic hinge. I could hear them squeaking and see them flexing as I opened and closed them. No way these flimsy things would hold up long term. If they were like this in the house, I can't even imagine what they'd be like when it is 10 degrees outside. If they break the whole thing will be useless. So it doesn't matter how good the rest of it is.

Then, there is an issue I had of it losing charge pretty rapidly while just sitting in the house for a few days. I read multiple complaints from others on here that ordered them around the same sale and had the same issue.

It's one of the most disappointing purchases. I've ever made. I ended up returning it and buying a second NOCO.

JNC660

I was unaware New York had red necks

We have a dozen NOCO jump packs at work, they work great and are over two years old now with no failures.

I’ve voted NOCO for my money. My gb-40’s have treated me well and are well built.

Buy once cry once, Micro start xp-10.

I bought a Stanley from walmart and returned it the next day, total crap.  Don't buy one tool that claims to do two jobs; it will do neither well.  So avoid the ones with an air compressor stuffed into the case.

The one mentioned above is what you want.  I've had mine for about ten years now and it starts the car or diesel CUCV even when the battery is completely dead.  My jeep battery was so dead that it would die when I disconnected the jump box, but the box started it and kept it running until the alternator was able to catch up.
