Battery Jumper

I'm sure this has probably been posted before and I should just search. What's a good battery jumper starter for our trucks?

If out on the trails and can't start the truck due, to a dead battery. I don't want to go to cheap but this one's reasonable.

Get a lithium booster, I've had that duracell booster, it can leak and it only lasted 1.5 years for me. (I kept the leads off of it though)

Genius boosters last a long time and handle professional use. They are currently the best pocket boosters.

It's hard for me to link to the US Amazon so bare with me, I cant see the prices.

 

Thanks! So this one? I can get it locally.

do these come fully charged or do you obviously probably have to charge for a few hours?

 

They should be charged for sure, some of them have cigerette lighter chargers so you can top it off from time to time in the truck.

On average a charge last about 6 months or 4-5 boosts in my experiences.

We have about 4 at my dealer that rarely have issues.

 

Noco are the best. I have 2000 and 4000 amp.

 

So 1000 amp is plenty enough for a Tacoma 4.0L

 

If you can wait I got this for $111.00 delivered on Amazon Prime day

NOCO Boost XL GB50 1500 Amp 12V UltraSafe Portable Lithium Car Battery Jump Starter Pack for Up to 7L Gasoline and 4.5L Diesel Engines

 

More is better, but you live in Arizona, we encourage the higher amps for colder climates and thicker oil. I've used 500 many times to start many trucks.

 

Thanks everybody I appreciate all responses

 

Another vote for NOCO. I’ve had the

$285 GB150 3000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 9.0L Gasoline and 7.0L Diesel Engines

GB150 for a few years and have been impressed with both it’s power and it’s ability to hold a charge. Not cheap but we camp and explore in some fairly remote areas.

 

Really all depends on the state of the battery. If it's just a little sluggish yeah 1k amps is great. But from dead as a hammer it might not work.

 

Another vote for NOCO. They don’t always come fully charged, but they do have a giant sticker in them that says FULLY CHARGE BEFORE USE. Wal-Mart had the GB40 on sale last week and scooped a second one for my wife’s car. Perfect for Tacomas.

Edit: Still on sale.

Group Buy on Genius Boost.

 

Another vote for the Genius. Also handy for charging your phones/tablets in a pinch (12v USB adapter stopped working on a road trip). It holds a charge surprisingly well in the AZ heat.

 

I just checked my NOCO after sitting for 6 months. Still fully charged.

 

Just a side note, if your battery is questionable, it should be replaced before going on an excursion.....

 

After way too much research, I ended up picking up a

$150 Noco GB50 1500 Amp 12-Volt UltraSafe Lithium Jump Starter Box, Car Battery Booster Pack, Portable Power Bank Charger, and Jumper Cables for up to 7-Liter Gasoline and 4-Liter Diesel Engines

Noco GB50 a few months ago. Haven’t had to use it yet, but it’s still fully charged. Glad to see other good reviews/thoughts on the Noco.

 

I'm still just trying to wrap my head around the naming convention. The GB40 is 1000amps, the GB50 is 1500, the GB20 is 400 amps, etc...

Seems like the GB40 should be plenty sufficient. The specs for my 4Runner's battery is like 550+ CCA's (biggest motor I have is the 4L). Roughly double that should be good.

Might pick up a couple of them and have one for the wife's car, too.

 

At my dealership most of us techs have noco jump boxes, they are very nice but I still just keep a $50 Amazon jumpbox in my truck for the rare occasion I need one and it's worked fine the few times.

 

these have really come a long way. Of course I still go old school with the jumpers.
