Restart a dead vehicle battery without waiting for another car.

The NOCO Boost Plus GB40 is a compact 1,000-amp portable jump starter designed to provide dependable backup power when a vehicle battery unexpectedly dies.

Why We Selected It

With a new teen driver in our family, we want him to have a safe way to restart his vehicle without flagging down a stranger or relying on another vehicle for jumper cables.

We selected the NOCO GB40 because NOCO is a trusted name in vehicle battery equipment, and its spark-proof design and reverse-polarity protection make it more approachable for a newer driver. Its compact size also makes it easy to keep inside a vehicle without taking up valuable cargo space.
