NOCO Battery Jumpers

I have a

$100 NOCO GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 6.0L Gasoline and 3.0L Diesel Engines, Gray

NOCO GB40 battery jumper thing. It came in a bag, and I keep it in the access part of my cab. Slides around all the time.

I have one of those Harbor Freight fake Pelican cases that it will fit in perfect. Is there any reason it shouldn't be stored in a small Pelican type case?

 

The battery doesn't need to breathe, but I would worry about leaving it in a hot truck more than in a closed case.

It's rare but fires do happen from booster packs. I've seen one in a Rav4 that wrote it off.

If anything it's just not healthy for the pack. So I carry mine only on road trips.

 

Mine lives in one of the Noco hard shell cases with a zipper it's whole life. Works okay, never had a problem with it being in the truck in Texas summers for about 3 years now. Not saying it couldnt be a problem as Bishop84 wrote, because it could be, just that I have never had a problem. Keep in mind that for all purposes my truck was my office for the last 30 years and only in the last year and a half or so has it become less so.

I suspect Pelican style cases would be fine.

 

Same here, i have two

Noco GB40 in a Noco hard shell case and have been stored in my vehicles for several years. I pull them out every few months to check the charge level.

 

I had a NOCO 40 in each one of our cars and they worked well, but I sold them all and replaced them with super capacitor jumpers

Unlike battery based jump boxes that will eventually die (and more than likely when you need it the most), the batteryless jumpers quickly charge using residual battery voltage and releases its energy much faster for a more powerful cranking

Best of all, they virtually last forever and don't require any maintenance

I recently had to jump my V8 Land Cruiser with my

$100 Noco gb40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 6.0L Gasoline and 3.0L Diesel Engines, Gray

Noco gb40. The gb40 was at 1 bar, it's lived in the truck for several months without a charge. It just barely got the truck jumped, I was amazed it worked, with 1 bar. They are very tough jumpers. Should keep them charged though!

 

That son of a bitch got a lot of fore head.
