Best Jump Box?

I carry a NOCO GB70 in all my vehicles. This size is probably overkill for a LC, but if you live in a cold climate you'll want to upsize. To my surprise, the GB70 was able to start a V8 engine at -25F on a car that had the lights left on overnight. The starter wouldn't even click before hooking up the jump box, but 30 seconds with the GB70 and it started. My only complaint is that it uses a micro-USB cord for charging, which is annoying in 2025, but not a deal breaker.

I saw that the GB series uses micro-USB, but the GBX series uses USB-C. I'd spend the extra money to get the GBX just due to the use of a standard USB-C connector.

I cannot think of anything that I would rather drive than Miss Daisy…

My Taco, she's a "Buet Clark"......LOL (didn't have a pic with the method wheels and KO2s on)

I got the GBX45 for that very reason. Im done with micro USB. Got this one for $95 on Black Friday.

I carry a Beatit BP101 : Pardon Our Interruption which I've used successfully about 4-5 times over the last few years on a v8 4Runner. Haven't needed it for my LC yet. It is bulkier than the NOCO jump box, but have only charged it about once or twice a year to keep it at 100%, and I live in a moderate to cold climate. It comes in a very nice foam lined, zippered case.

I have one in my LC. I just used it on my 6.2L Gen 1 Raptor (which sits for weeks or months on end). Worked great.

I like the big Noco, sits on the back seat floor just fine.

How'd I miss this? NOCO for the win!

I got GB40 from Amazon recently and it came with usb-c. Maybe it’s the newer version.

I checked NOCO website

GB40 has one USB-A and one USB-C (10 W In only)
GBX45 has one USB-A and one USB-C (60 W in and out)

So, the GBX 45 can also be used to charge devices, if necessary. Nice.
