NOCO Boost Jump Starters

Why NOCO Boost Jump Starters Matter

A dead battery always seems to happen at the worst time, whether it's a cold morning in the driveway or miles from the nearest service station. NOCO Boost jump starters solve that problem with lithium-powered portable power that fits in a glovebox, backpack, or center console. Unlike old-fashioned jumper cables, there's no need to flag down another vehicle or wait for roadside assistance.

Each NOCO Boost jump starter is built with lithium-ion technology, which packs far more cranking power into a lighter, smaller unit than traditional jump starters. That means serious performance without lugging around a heavy battery pack. Built-in safety features like spark-proof connections, reverse polarity protection, and temperature monitoring make these jump starters safe to use, even for drivers who have never jumped a battery before.

NOCO Boost jump starters are useful well beyond the daily commute:

• Jump-starting cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and ATVs
• Starting boats, RVs, and other marine or recreational engines
• Powering through diesel engine jump starts with higher-amperage models
• Charging phones, tablets, and other USB devices on the go
• Providing backup light with an integrated LED flashlight

How to Choose the Right NOCO Boost Jump Starter

NOCO organizes its Boost lineup by series, and each one is designed for a different level of power and use case. Matching the right jump starter to your vehicle comes down to engine size, battery type, and how much backup power you want on hand.

• Boost Series (GB20-GB150): Everyday jump starters ranging from 500 to 3,000 amps, ideal for cars, motorcycles, and light trucks.
• Boost X Series (GBX45-GBX155): Updated performance with faster charging and up to 4,250 amps, built for larger engines and frequent use.
• Boost Max Series (GB250-GB500): Commercial-grade jump starters delivering up to 6,250 amps for diesel trucks, RVs, and heavy equipment, with 12-volt and 24-volt options.

As a general guideline, smaller 500-1,000 amp units handle most passenger cars and motorcycles, mid-range 1,500-2,500 amp models cover larger trucks and SUVs, and anything above 3,000 amps is built for diesel engines or commercial fleets. All NOCO Boost jump starters are safe to use on standard lead-acid, AGM, and gel-cell 12-volt batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size NOCO Boost jump starter do I need for my vehicle?

A: It depends on your engine size and fuel type. Smaller gas engines and motorcycles typically only need 500 to 1,000 amps, while larger trucks and SUVs do best with 1,500 amps or more. Diesel engines and commercial vehicles should use a 3,000 amp or higher Boost Max model. If you're unsure, contact us with your vehicle's details and we can recommend the right size.

Can NOCO Boost jump starters start diesel engines?

A: Yes, several NOCO Boost models are rated for diesel engines. Higher-amperage units like the GB150, GBX155, and the Boost Max series are built to handle the extra cranking power diesel engines require.

Are NOCO Boost jump starters safe for AGM and gel batteries?

A: Yes. NOCO Boost jump starters are designed to work safely with standard flooded lead-acid, AGM, and gel-cell 12-volt batteries. Built-in spark-proof and reverse polarity protection keep the connection safe across all of these battery types.

How do I use a NOCO Boost jump starter?

A: Connect the clamps to your battery terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative), power on the unit, and start your vehicle as usual. Most models include LED indicators that confirm a safe connection before allowing a jump, plus a manual override for batteries too low to detect automatically.

How often should I recharge my NOCO Boost jump starter?

A: NOCO recommends recharging your Boost jump starter every three months, even if it hasn't been used, to keep the internal battery healthy and ready for an emergency. Most models fully recharge in a few hours using the included USB-C cable.
