12V battery jump box recomendations?

[Popgadget]

I chose the Gooloo based on his original review, a not too distant second place at almost 1/4 the price. But there is no disputing the Noco’s superior performance. But at least for me, there is also no dispute about the value of the Gooloo.

Years ago I bought a car (truck, tractor) battery jump box similar to one pictured from Harbor Freight. It worked OK but many years ago so I need to replace it.
Ones I see now have all these features I don't need like USB port, digital display, etc. and most reviews aren't good. I'm looking for simple with lots of cranking power...ones I see I'm sure are over-rated.
An analog meter would be nice to see if it's charged. A light on it may be ok...but I don't need/want an air compressor . Something around $150 or less (?).
Real experience with one means a lot. It's been cold here and two tractors are on battery tenders but won't quite crank over.
Thanks.View attachment 4675509

I have the model shown and it works good for me. It's actually the second one I've bought as I bought a second one a few years ago and gifted to my brother.

From the Clore "store" on Amazon, I keep looking at the ES 6000 but it's a lot of money for not quite twice the capacity.
One day when the battery on the CIH PUMA 125 died it took both boost paks to get her started so it could be driven down to the shop to work on.

Some of the fancy compact units look and sound good, but I have to wonder how they will hold up when left in cold buildings or vehicles.

I needed to replace a very old jump pack that had long quit working. Like others have mentioned I watched PF tests and for the money the gooloo seemed like best value for my uses. I’m a stickler for keeping good batteries in equipment but sometimes you need a jumper. I bought the GP4000 less than $100, only needed to use it once on my sisters car. It was deader than doornail , it cranked and started it easily.

I have a NOCO GB150 and I've had no complaints.

No complaints with the Gooloo GT4000 or GP4000 models. Both have worked out well & hold a charge for a long time. Both have started vehicles with bad batteries, not just dead.

Ive had the Gooloo for two years now and it still shows full charge after a few uses. You can catch them on sale during Christmas on Walmart.com. I think I gave about sixty dollars for mine.

I have a NOCO GB150 and I've had no complaints.

The robust integrated captive leads and good clamps are great features.
I have the similar GB155.

I have had a 950 peak amp Schumacher for 8 years. Never started anything with it. I use it to power my 25 gallon weed sprayer.

But if I were to replace it, I would give a good look at the JNC770R. I like the 68" cables and the on/off switch.

I ordered a GOOLOO GP4000 online Walmart, $75.99 free shipping. I'll see, hopefully good for the money.
Thanks all!

I also have a GooLoo box and it has worked great. Just started my excavator with it today.

I also use it in a school setting to run my CNC laser, since the GooLoo has a 2.1Amp USB socket.

Had it maybe 3y now. 2 thumbs up.
