NOCO Boost X GBX155: 4250A UltraSafe Jump Starter – 12V Lithium Battery Booster Pack, Portable Jump Box, Power Bank & Jumper Cables - for 10.0L Gas and 8.0L Diesel Engines

So, you're looking at this because you have a 1-ton truck? Dual batteries? And I'm guessing in the cold your engine simply just doesn't want to start, right? Or perhaps you've got a vehicle that loses battery charge after a couple days of being unused? Or perhaps you have a habit of accidentally leaving the dome light on all night? Or perhaps your battery just isn't up to snuff anymore and you just want to make sure it starts, regardless? And now you're looking at that price of $370 (at the time of this review) and thinking to yourself "There's got to be a cheaper one that will get the job done, right?" Short answer? Possibly. Shorter answer? DON'T! <] TLDR [> It absolutely works. It delivers the power it advertises. It's worth the money. If you want a boost pack that just works and you can afford it? Then just buy this one! You will NOT be disappointed! DO NOT buy the cheaper "Gibberish Brand" packs. If you do, you WILL be disappointed and they WILL leave you stranded. Yep. it really is that simple! My ONLY regret in buying this jump pack is that I didn't buy it sooner! I just couldn't justify the price tag... If I had known just how good it is, I'd have made room in the budget for it a lot sooner than I did! <] /TLDR [> I have a 1998 GMC K3500 with a dual battery setup. I do NOT have a block heater (yet). At zero degrees (F), it turns over but REFUSES to catch. After turning the engine over for roughly 10 seconds on a fresh full charge, it just quits. No go juice! And if you've done like I have by adding a manual override for your glow plugs because you upgraded them and know they can handle the extended burn time? It's still not enough. The batteries are just too small to be viable in the winter on the Canadian border where I am. [ Edit 3/19/26: I forgot to mention in this that I also upgraded my starter to a planetary gear high torque high speed starter, and it STILL doesn't like to catch in colder temps! ] Now that you have the backstory, I too was put off by the price. I watched a LOT of videos comparing various jump packs and every single one of them rated THIS pack, the NOCO Boost X GBX155 as the highest in every single list. I really had a tough time shelling out the cash for this, but now that I have it? I'll NEVER give it up! This thing is super easy to use. Charge it up when you get it. Believe it or not, for as heavy and bulky as this jump pack is, it charges FAST. From depleted to full charge in under 3 hours! That's AMAZING! If you have a dual battery diesel truck like me? You're going to be absolutely ASTONISHED at just how much power this thing packs. Its punch is nothing short of INCREDIBLE! When you hook it up to your battery, make sure you connect it to the battery that has the positive lead straight to the starter. While it'll work, connecting it to the accessory battery WILL cause a loss of power to the starter simply because of the cable run length from the accessory battery over to the primary start battery and then to the starter. Really, the only thing I can say I'm not too fond of is where they put the button to turn on the flashlight function. That darned thing is RIGHT where I grab it to pick it up and every time I pick it up I inadvertently press the flashlight button and let me tell you, it's pretty darned bright! This thing will also let you override the error condition on a FULLY depleted battery to allow you to jump the vehicle regardless of your battery voltage. Another really nice feature is the fact that it also has two USB-A ports to charge another device with, like your phone. The USB-C charging port can also be used to charge another USB-C device, too! The charging port goes two ways! The real reason you're looking at this specific jump pack though, is to find out if it lives up to its promises. I can tell you that yes, it absolutely does! Keep this in your vehicle and you'll end up being a hero to someone if they need a jump, too. No more need to carry long, heavy jumper cables if you've got this thing! You can rest easy if you have this jump pack. If you get into a spot of trouble because you left your headlights or marker lights or dome light on and ran your battery down while you were at the theater watching a movie or something? This will absolutely get you out of a jam. My truck is nearly 30 years old. I upgraded the starter to a planetary reduction gear starter. In the summer months, the dual batteries spin the engine decently with the specific starter I upgraded to. However, this jump pack? At ZERO degrees Fahrenheit, this jump pack cranks the engine over even faster than the dual batteries in the truck do! Because of where I am and my current vehicle situation, I'm having to jump the truck virtually every time I want to go somewhere. The truck's batteries just aren't enough and there's really no easy way to install bigger, more capable batteries under the hood. But, with this jump pack? I don't have to worry about whether the truck will start or not. It's virtually guaranteed it will. Without this jump pack, I'd be stuck most of the time in winter! You could call it peace of mind and you'd be accurate! If you're on the fence between this and a cheap one that's half the price or even a quarter of the price? Do yourself a favor! Forget the cheap ones, they don't stand a chance against this one. If you've got a family and you NEED your vehicle to just WORK regardless of having left that dome light on all night? You won't be disappointed if you have the NOCO Boost X GBX155. It's worth every penny!

My first gbx155, failed to eecharge, s verbal weeks after receiving. I called them up, had to pay for shipping, but mailed it back to noco. They tested the unit and decided to send me another unit, within three weeks.

Is a professional mobile mechanic this item is completely an utterly phenomenal. Not only does it start dead batteries but it is so super convenient that I waited so long to purchase this due to the cost. Yes it is expensive but it beach using jumper cables you must charge this once you purchased this leave it charging overnight. I will only recommend this particular model the GBX155 for the simple reason it’s more than enough to do the job always get what’s more than enough so you don’t have any problems whatsoever. In addition the only is a super convenient it’s late it’s a little bulky but when you’re a mobile mechanic running your own business like I am holy moly it’s I wonder why I waited so long to purchase this it does exactly what it says it does not too sure why others have had issues with it but so far so good and I highly recommend this particular model. It is very portable. It’s very speedy. It is very durable and everything else that comes with it we’ll buy again.

This product looks and feels it’s made To be really tough. I had a smaller version of this for years but now I’m dealing with transporting cars in the snow which are completely dead at times. Will update in a few months about the performance of this particular unit. I am a little disappointed with one key factor as advance as this looks I was very surprised not to have a C port to C port charger. This unit was way too expensive not to have that included with the product. Also the two A USB out ports are only 2.1A. That is nuts, as advanced this unit is Those A ports should be higher amps in the year 2024. My $50 portable phone charger has higher amp in its A USB out port. Do!!! not invest GB-X series of Nico products. This is hands-down, an inferior line of products Compare to GB models. I am a true believer in Nico products. I had GB 40 for 4 1/2 years and GB 50 for about six years. My GB 50. So considering that, I decided to go a step up and invest a serious amount of money and get GBX 155, Big mistake on my part like big mistake. my GB 50 had more backbone than this GBX 155. For Contrast I jumpstarted two dead batteries Off Jeep patriots, a dead battery of a F150, And a dead battery of a Chevy Malibu. And this jump box was dead, Down to its last bar. Compare to the GB 50 I was able to jumpstart almost 9 cars before it died out. I will be sending this back through warranty. Hopefully they find that there’s something wrong with this and fix it but if they tell me nothings wrong with it, they can keep it. Pls !!!!! Don’t buy noco GBX models. Not a good product I still recommend Nico GB models. They are way better.

This little guy came almost completely charged. I topped it off to 100%. I bought it to start my 2022 GMC 3500HD 6.6L duramax with two dead batteries (there's a problem with the ignition not releasing the key which let me leave it in the ignition for 24+ hours). Its summer now. I hooked it up, powered it on. The truck came to life in the cabin, I waited 10 seconds or so for things to settle down then started it. The engine started like right up no hesitation or laboring whatsoever. In the winter I feel it wont have any issues as well. I brought the unit inside and recharged it back to 100% in ~30 minutes

I already have the NOCO Boost Max GB250 (B08V6MJ2NR) which I absolutely love, but the thing is very big, very heavy, very expensive ($1200 currently) and quite frankly has more power than is generally needed to jump-start even a dead Class 8 truck (semi tractor). The GB250 will jumpstart 7 - 12 Freightliners on a single charge, which is awesome, but rarely necessary. I was looking for a smaller jump box that would start one or two trucks on a charge and also be compact enough that I could leave it in my car for when a passenger car or truck might need started. I picked up 2 GBX155 jump boxes for $500 less than a GB250 and between the two they put out 8500 amps compared to the 5250 amps of the GB250. I can keep one GBX155 in may car and then for those times when I anticipate starting multiple trucks, I can put both jump boxes in my car. If one GB155 doesn't have enough power to start a truck, I can connect both of them and have a theoretical 8,500 amps at my disposal. The other reason I wanted a smaller jump box is to be more convenient to take on road trips. My car, like many of today's new cars, does not have a physical key to unlock the doors. In the event that your battery completely discharges while the doors are locked, there is no easy way to get into the car to pop the hood to jumpstart the car. This happening overnight while I am in a hotel isn't all that unlikely but in my life it seems if a bad thing CAN happen, it eventually WILL happen. Having the jump box makes getting into the car easy if it's locked and the battery is dead. All you have to do is connect the jump box to the starter terminals and that will power the car's system so that you can unlock the doors and then pop the hood to jumpstart the car. So far I have jumped a commercial zero turn mower, an ATV, two cars and a truck and all started right up with the GBX155 connected. Depending on the setup of the vehicle you may need to adjust where you are placing the cables to get good contact. The last car I jumped, a Nissan Versa, I had to move the cables several times before getting a good connection but eventually I found the right spot and the car fired right up. A couple things I really like about the GBX155 is that it can be charged by any high output cell phone or notebook charger that uses a Type C charger connection. The other cool feature is that the GBC155 can be used as an external power bank to charge up cell phones, notebooks, flashlights etc. I have not yet tested this feature other than to plug my phone into the unit and see that it was indeed charging.

Using this jump starter under severe Minnesota weather conditions, I have put this thing through every possible scenario I could think of so here are my personal observations... - Jump started over 1,000 vehicles in the course of two years - Used in 125 jobs in the last 132 days... business has been slow compared to previous year - Cars serviced range from full electric to 8 cylinder old beaters where the 12 volt batteries were either very low to fully crank engine to depleted and bad alternators that didn't held engine to run for two minutes. - 5 vehicles were unsuccessful to start due to electrical issues or vehicle's manufacturer defects that pushed beyond the capabilities of this jump-starter - Quickly charging inside the truck using 12V plug provided offered non-stop daily use - Heavier jumpstarts will consume lithium battery quickly, avoid using override button if battery is low - Don't leave in cold weather vehicle under 30 degrees, this impacts jumpstart readiness Why did I rated at 4 stars? The unit stopped taking a charge after a heavy jumpstart that required use of override button two times on a Ford Escape SUV, not something I would have imagined, this unit has done diesel engine starts without an issue, but when the lithium battery discharges so quickly it will go dormant and may not come back when plugged in. When searching for this issue others have experienced the same outcome and NOCO would not honor warranty after two years. NOCO Boost line seems to have a limit that prevents it from discharging like that but the NOCO Boost X fires much quicker and can jumpstart almost anything but could potentially die quicker. In conclusion... Read the manual and watch NOCO's how to videos before you cause a preventable damage on your unit.

Purchased January 30, 2025. UPDATE April 18, 20206 Changed back to five stars. NOCO support is amazing!!! In spite of the "out of warranty", they had me ship the old one in. They sent me a a New GBX155! I have three of these Jump Starters - one for my car and two of the GBX155s for my two diesel trucks. The are older trucks and sometimes I leave something on inside. They are much safer than jump cables - you never know when someone else makes a mistake. Until the one I describe below, None of my NOCO products have ever had a problem. I have been buying their chargers (NOCO Genius G3500, and larger) and have had them for years. Quality is superb! Now I can say, so is customer service. ********* Original: On March 16, 2026, I discovered it dead. No lights, no nothing. Will not take a charge. I expected a lot more from this.

Démarre un Diesel batterie totalement à plat tel que le CLK 270 CDI 170 cv 6,5 L comme un coucou Suisse ...en un tour de clef. Le plus compliqué est de trouver une bonne prise de terre. 4 démarrages dans le mois sans soucis. Prévoir une nouvelle charge complète du Booster après le 5ème raccordement ou avant par précaution si vous avez un impératif (mieux ne vaut pas forcer votre chance en misant sur un 5ème démarrage). L’EVA Case du GB 150 convient, bien que le GBX155 soit très légèrement plus petit (1 cm de moins en longueur, idem en largeur, même taille en hauteur à 0,05 cm près [données constructeurs]). Malgré cela, pour les maniaques comme moi, je ne le recommande pas car, même s’il est de bonne facture et de finition soignée, il ne s’adapte pas totalement (les câbles des pinces en position de rangement forcent le passage de la niche du Booster et trouve une issue en hauteur de l’EVA Case ce qui est incompréhensible puisque le GBX155 est plus petit que le GB 150. J’ai même essayé de laisser les câbles de chaque côté plutôt que de faire le tour du Booster comme c’est le cas en position de rangement ...c’est pire). Ajoutez à ça une répartition du poids du GBX155 pas au top, et je vous le déconseille fortement. Comprenez que poignée en main l’EVA Case bascule totalement d’un côté (désagréable lors des manipulations). Amazon le mets parmi les produits fréquemment achetés avec le GBX155. Il faudrait peut-être comptabiliser les retours produits, car à mon sens ce n’est pas très pertinent et trompeur compte tenu du fait que ce produit n’est pas totalement adapté. C’est encore pire avec le chargeur XGC4 qui n’est pas du tout compatible et pour cause, la technologie X est déjà dans le GB X 155 (cette technologie dépasse d’ailleurs le seul fait de la charge rapide et concerne entre autre la puissance rendue en ampères) mais la description n’est pas claire et, bien qu’ayant cherché avant achat, je n’ai rien trouvé qui confirmait ou qui indiquait une incompatibilité des 2 produits. De plus, comme je le dis plus haut, les produits sont fréquemment achetés ensemble. Résultat : 1 retour à l’envoyeur et un remboursement à attendre. Pour une charge rapide en 2,7H vous devrez donc chercher (ou plutôt trouver) un chargeur rapide USB A adéquate (perso, je cherche encore). Dommage que NoCo ne prenne pas la peine de préciser les spécificités du chargeur nécessaire ou de recommander une référence à défaut de la produire (l’entrée en charge du Booster est donnée pour 60 Watts... la plupart des chargeurs USB A sont soit au dessous, soit à 65 Watts et plus. Je penses que 65 Watts est donc la meilleure option). Le résultat obtenu avec une prise Type C vers USB A comme celle (à l’époque) fournie avec un iPhone (soit 18 Watts il me semble, voir peut-être 12W ou encore moins ...5W ??!) donne un résultat moins performant que le temps de charge maximale indiqué par le fabricant (comptez 72H pour une charge de 0 à 100%). NoCo doit probablement s’appuyer sur les résultats obtenus avec un chargeur entre 20 et 40 Watts pour garantir une pleine charge au terme de 16H (...quand même). Quant à savoir si un chargeur de 90 Watts ou plus peut permettre une pleine charge en moins de 2,7H... ??? Quid ? Si quelqu’un à des chiffres, je suis à l’écoute. Le plus gros défaut de ce produit reste la taille des câbles USB C de chargement fournis ...ils sont ridiculement petits (particulièrement le câble USB C vers USB A. Cela est moins dérangeant avec le câble USB C vers Prise Allume Cigare). Mieux vaut donc trouver une prise près du sol ou proche d’une table ...sinon vous devrez rester debout durant (minimum) 16H, le chargeur dans les bras ! 🙄😏 MàJ du commentaire de Décembre 2021 : J’ai fait l’acquisition d’un chargeur de marque d’une puissance de 65W (et de technologie GAN II) et d’un câble de 100W à puce (IC E-Marker ?) de la même marque et là c’est juste... une DINGUERIE ! Ça marche du feu de Dieu ! Comptez entre 30 et 35 mn par voyant soit pour 1 quart de charge (25% de la charge totale en une demi-heure ...tout le monde suit ?) soit de 2H à 2H20 max pour une pleine charge de 0 à 100 %, mieux que les données constructeurs qui garantissent une pleine charge en 2,7H soit 2H42. Reste à savoir ce que cela pourrait donner avec un chargeur de même technologie (GAN II) mais d’une puissance de 90W ...ou même de 100W ???!!? 🤩 Dernière MàJ du commentaire : La charge rapide ne donne pas les mêmes résultats qu’une charge lente. Avec la charge ultra lente en 72H j’ai des résultats incroyables. Avec les charges standard et ultra rapide, le produit est simplement très décevant !

Compré este producto por recomendación, y he de decir que ha sido todo un acierto. En mi opción, tiene un tamaño y peso adecuados para ser transportado de forma frecuente, como es mi caso. Así como una estructura que lo hace manejable a la hora de ser utilizado. Por otro lado, considero importante destacar que la batería dura varios arranques. Lo que me facilita mi día a día, dado que lo utilizo en un ámbito profesional. Ademas, tiene varios extras como literna, que alumbra muy bien y puede resultar de utilidad en ambientes más oscuros o tenues. O bien puede utilizarse de powebank para cargar móviles, linternas o cualquier cosa que se conecte por USB. Sin duda ha sido una buena compra y repetiría.

Ho acquistato il NOCO Boost X GBX155 per avere un avviatore di emergenza affidabile sia per auto che per furgoni diesel. L’ho testato su una batteria completamente scarica di un 3.0 turbodiesel: in pochi secondi ha avviato il motore senza alcuno sforzo. La potenza da 4250A è reale, e si percepisce dalla velocità con cui eroga corrente. Oltre alla funzione di avviamento, può essere usato anche come power bank per ricaricare smartphone, tablet o altri dispositivi grazie all’uscita USB-C PD. L’interfaccia è semplice e intuitiva, con led ben visibili anche in pieno sole. Punti di forza: • Potenza elevatissima, adatta anche a motori diesel di grossa cilindrata • Avviamento rapido anche con batteria completamente morta • Funzione torcia e power bank USB-C molto utili • Cavi robusti e morsetti di qualità, con protezione intelligente contro inversione di polarità Unico difetto: Non è economico, ma per chi cerca un prodotto professionale e vuole stare tranquillo in ogni situazione, è un acquisto che si ripaga da solo al primo uso. Conclusione: Uno strumento indispensabile per chi lavora con veicoli o semplicemente vuole sicurezza in auto. Qualità costruttiva eccellente, potenza reale e facilità d’uso. Lo consiglio senza riserve e lo ricomprerei subito.

Very bad, only starts half the cars, my 4 year old 3000amp works better. Has no volt meter either showing what voltage is in battery your connected too

Habe mir was schönes gegönnt und bin wirklich soweit zufrieden !!!!. Außer das man sich separat für viel Geld noch irgendwelche Schnellladegeräte kaufen MUSS , wenn man noch weißt welche benötigt werden und Kompatibel sind ! Es wird nicht direkt darauf hingewiesen ( doch wird man hingewiesen , und zwar in Betriebsanleitung 🤦......sowas sollte gleich am anfang des Inserat,s beschrieben werden und gesagt , mindestens welches Ladegerät/e man dafür benötigt weil mit Handel üblichen Schnellladegeräten mit 25W brauch man ja gar nicht erst versuchen zu Laden , vorausgesetzt man hat zwei Tage Zeit dafür ............. Deswegen brauch man sich auch nicht wundern wenn die Kunden irgendwo anders solche Geräte Kaufen !Warum wohl ganz einfach MEHR ZUBEHÖR weil das Gerät schon Teuer genug ist .Es wäre das selbe wenn man sich ein KFZ kauft aber ohne Autoreifen die musste man sich dann vor Ort extra gleich selber zusätzlich kaufen und vor Ort zusätzlich montieren damit man nach hause fahren kann !!! Der Verkäufer hat damit nichts zu tun und ist dafür nicht verantwortlich!!!! Sondern der Hersteller des Gerätes!!!!! Fals jemandem das weiter helfen sollte, ich habe mir zusätzlich für 35 Euro ein 65W marke ........!!!!!????? Schnellladegerät gekauft gleich mit mehreren Anschlüss möglichkeiten damit ich gleichzeitig auch andere Geräte laden kann , und es klappt wunderbar ,in ca. 3 Stunden ist der Noco GBX155 geladen. Neues Update !!! Ich bin persönlich bis jetzt wirklich zufrieden, habe viel Zeit gehabt den NOCO GBX155 zu Testen im Winter als auch im Sommer. Habe viele Fahrzeuge mit verschiedenen Autobatterien testen können und jedes mal erfolgreich die Fahrzeuge zum Leben erweckt, es funktioniert tadellos!!! Was ich bis jetzt festgestellt habe ist, das der NOCO GBX155 mittlerweile etwas länger benötigt um seine eigene Batterie 🔋 aufzuladen, am Anfang waren es ca. 3 Stunden bis Voll war , und jetzt braucht das 65W Schnellladegeräten etwas mehr Zeit und den NOCO aufzuladen. Es ist nichts Defekte und alles funktioniert wie am ersten Tag außer das er halt etwas länger die Batterie 🔋 Lädt bis es voll ist. Der NOCO GBX155 lag auch ein paar Wochen unbenutzt rum , habe den mit vollem Akku 🔋 bei Seite gepackt und als ich wieder einem Auto Starthilfe leisten musste dann war der NOCO GBX155 noch fast Voll . Fazit: Bin wirklich zufrieden! Ps. Das sind meine eigene Erfahrungen die ich persönlich mit dem NOCO GBX155 gemacht habe, und ich spreche nur für mich .Ich werde dafür nicht bezahlt oder sonstiges......Das Gerät habe ich auch selber gekauft und Bezahlt. Neues Update. 18.12.2023 Soo , seit ein paar Tagen lässt mich meine Autobatterie im Stich die aber auch erst 11 Monate alt ist ....... hätte ich diesen NOCO GBX155 Buster nicht gehabt dann hätte ich schön schieben müssen 😅😅😅. Der NOCO GBX155 leistet seine Dienste bis jetzt gerade beim diesem Wetter Hervorragend! Keinerlei Probleme habe ich bis jetzt und Heute gehabt mit . Bring immer volle Leistung und startet mein waggen weiterhin zuverlässig. Neues Update 09.01.2024 Der NOCO GBX 155 verdient definitiv 5 von 5 STERNEN gerade nach Heutigen Einsatz und -14 Grad den wir heute erleben haben !!!! , und gehört meiner Meinung nach zu dem 3 Besten den man im Moment auf dem Markt kriegen kann in seiner Preisklasse . Die ganze Zubehör die man auf diesem Video sieht , habe ich mir separat samt dem Koffer gekauft und ist leider NICHT im Lieferumfang enthalten!!! Beim Kauf des Noco,s erwirbt man nur das Gerät ohne alles aber mit der Stofftasche und ein USB-C Ladekabel ist dabei... Neues Update 11.02.2024 Ich habe meinem guten Bekannten probeweise , der in der Abschleppdienst und Pannenhilfe 5 Mann Betrieb arbeitet , weil sein Booster , den man so aus dem Baumarkt kennt mit Tragegriffen , ziemlich groß den Dienst gestern mittag verweigert hat 🤦. Daraufhin als wir gestern telefoniert haben , habe ich Ihm für einen Arbeitstag mein Noco Boost GBX155 zu Verfügung gestellt und heute , als der Bekannte wieder meinen Noco GBX155 zurück gebracht hat , fragte mich mein Bekannter wo er sich so ein genialen Booster kaufen kann bzw sein Chef , er konnte bereits am dem Tag mehreren Fahrzeugen Starthilfe leisten und das nur mit einer Akkuladung . Er war quasi voll begeistert, klein handlich und lässt sich super und einfach bedienen mit ordentlich Power .
