Highly recommended. Works as advertised.
Being elderly, and for the most part housebound, I do not use my car more than a few times a year. The last time that I drove it was last August, and at that time I had to have AAA jump start my car as the battery was completely dead. A few weeks late I attempted to use the car, but even the entry lights and dashboard lights were out. I assumed that the battery was not only dead, but bad too.
I decided this past week to start using the car again. To that end I bought a Noco GB40, as the one thing that I do know about cars is how to jump start them. I dot not want to rely on AAA. So, my thought was to start the car and drive it to an auto shop and have them replace the battery. I went out this morning with the GB40, attached it to my car's battery, and saw that the 'Boost Light' did not come on. So, I pressed the manual override, and when the lights flashed went into my car and tried to start it. It turbaned over and start in less than a second.
I warmed up the car but did not take it out if the garage as there is too much snow in the ground. Next week when the snow melts, I will jump start my car again and bring it in for a new battery.
