Portable car battery jump starters

Halo Bolt. Have one in every vehicle. Starts everything I’ve hooked it to so far. Amazon has them.

I got a NOCO GB40 off of Amazon during Prime day last year. I’ve only had to use it once.

I have an everstart maxx 600mah that will crank my v8 silverado about 4 times before needing to be recharged.

I'm please with it.




Eta- the carrying bag is no good. It's destroyed from rolling in my toolbox. A case would be nice

That looks nice.

Get the most basic one that you can find. Don't buy the Stanley one with all the crap on it.

This guys video comprehensively reviews 8 units and based on that I replaced my Noco GB40 with an Audew 2000a unit, using 2 coupons at Amazon $69 today.

I use Noco's battery tenders which are awesome, but the review convinced me in electrically load tested terms that I couldn't fully trust the GB40 to jump my Yahama 115 out in the marsh.

Which Car Jump Starter is Best

I read through the reviews on the Audew and just wasn’t sold. Came across more than one where the unit caught fire/exploded and several where it was dead inside of 6 months. One person ran a test on it and found its capacity to be less than advertised. That said, they all have their faults. I’ll check out the review, though, for sure.

I have a Noco GB 40 & 150. Both work great & hold a charge quite a while. I usually take them out & charge them once a year

Excellent gift idea.


I received one years ago and have always thought of it as one of the best gifts ever.

I watched the vid linked above your post and saw on the sidebar the same guy (Project Farm) had an updated version posted 1 week ago : Project Farm battery jumper test video 11/2020
In the comments of the recent video were some complaints about the Audew Company, non responsive company and worse for those buying directly through Audew is a lot of Double Charges to credit cards/bank accounts. (of course if ordering through Amazon that's a step of protection).

I just ordered this years top rated GooLoo out of Malaysia instead of the Chyna made stuff. I've got a 10 year old Mitsubishi that the alarm drains the battery as I forget to crank it for several months. Will see how this works out and hopefully save a bunch of trips removing/replacing dead batteries at Wally World.
