NOCO Boost GB70: 2000A UltraSafe Jump Starter Power Pack – For 8.0L Petrol and 6.0L Diesel Engines review

Drivers who need to cover a bigger diesel - a van, 4x4 or larger family car - as well as ordinary petrol cars, in a pack that still fits in a glovebox.

Our verdict
4.5 / 5

The GB70 is NOCO's mid-large Boost size: built to the same spark-proof, reverse-polarity-protected standard as the smaller GB40 but rated for meaningfully bigger engines. It costs more than most drivers need, so it's worth checking your engine size against the GB40 before paying the difference.

As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases.

What we like
  • NOCO states coverage up to 8.0L petrol and 6.0L diesel engines - enough for most vans and 4x4s, not just small cars
  • Spark-proof clamps and reverse-polarity protection make it safe for a non-mechanic to connect correctly in the dark
  • Doubles as a USB power bank (via USB-A out) and 400-lumen, 7-mode LED torch with SOS/strobe
Worth knowing
  • Roughly £70-90 more than NOCO's entry GB40, which is enough jump-starter for most single petrol cars
  • 56Wh lithium pack shouldn't be left in a hot car through summer or a cold shed over winter - keep it somewhere temperate between uses to protect battery lifespan

Who shouldn't buy this

your only vehicle is a small petrol car - NOCO's cheaper GB40 (1000A, up to 8.0L petrol claim scales down accordingly, realistically small-to-mid petrol cars and diesels to ~3.0L) covers that job for less. Step up to the GB70 only if you regularly need to start a larger diesel, van or 4x4.
