My wife took over my jump starter so I am in the marker for a portable jump starter to keep in the truck that will actually start a truck.

Any suggestions

Weego JS18 Professional Jump Starter Battery

I’ve had this for around 4 years now! Never failed yet! Never tried a diesel though!

I have the NOCO GB150 and very satisfied. Has started my 6.7 when batteries were too low to start the truck. However, it failed to start a Ford 6.0 that had dead batteries, not just low. I also have a Jump-N-Carry, JNC660G that did start the Ford.

The Jump-N-Carry has a regular battery & is like jump-starting from another vehicle. The NOCO is digital and others like it depend on a highly charged small lithium battery that I believe/think requires at least 7-9 volts in the "dead" battery to "excite" it. If that is correct that is the reason it would not start the Ford's batteries, they must have had less than 7-9 volts left.

That's my only explanation as to why a 3000amp NOCO could not start the Ford but the 1700amp Jump-N-Carry could. Maybe someone knows if my theory is correct or not.

Antigravity xp-10 I've had one for about 8 years and it works good, has an air pump option as well. Love the thing.

I have a NOCO GB50 and really like there stuff.

I think the Ford battery, if it was under 2 volts you need to put the jump start in manual override to get it to start a totally dead battery.

Good call. It's been a while ago. I can't remember if I did that or not.

Noco and don't look back. Find the size you think you need and get a bigger version. You'll be glad you did.

That's an interesting test. If you google for best jumpers none of his winners are listed and the NoCo comes in on top on nearly all of the "best" reports. I have used a few of the other brands but the NOCOs consistently has been the best.

This one hasn't let me down. It is I don't know how old. But it works great. Do remember I got it at NAPA. Hope this helps. They have a line of bigger ones.
