    :notsure: Mine works fine? were people having a lot of trouble besides the shipping deal? ive used mine a few times with no problems. not sure what else could be asked for from a jumpstarter that successfully jumps the truck off.

    So I used the Amazon one to successfully jump the neighbors Tundra. After it still showed 4 bars of battery charge. figured I would charge both up after. Once again after 6 weeks, the Costco one had self discharged to 25%. Unacceptable. LIPO batteries self discharge but not anywhere close to this rate, indicating a faulty battery or a parasitic drain in the device. it is going back to the return counter. 20161201_140738.jpg

    Jumped a 7.3 diesel today with 2 jumpers one on each battery , one the cheapo LiPo from Amazon listed below, the other a traditional jumper. not sure this was the correct way but it worked!

    @ramonortiz55 Was in on the NOCO, 1st group buy I jumped in on. It jump started a f150 and a Pacifica same day had plenty of oomph to do one or two more if needed. I charged it last fall. Then got it out a few weeks back to look at levels to see if needed topped off, still had a full charge.

    I know it was a PITA on your end, but you did good..
