Great unit, plenty of punch to start our big diesels or act as a power supply. Good quality.

I’m tempted by the GB70......

So you dont get a mains to 12vdc charger with this? 2018 SE SDV8 4.4 Byron Blue

No, you can charge it from anything that has a USB socket, the more powerful your charger, the faster it charges.

I have a bunch of 2 amp chargers around the house, as well as one for my MacBook that takes USB C, so it will only take a couple of hours to charge it fully

Or plug it into your car cigarette lighter, charges in 3 hours

So how can a 5VDC USB device charge the 12VDC booster? 2018 SE SDV8 4.4 Byron Blue

Beats me how it works, you need 14.4v to charge a 12v battery. If the charging circuit can boost 5v to 12v at the cost of reducing the current then it’s possible, if not overly practical as it will take a long time. Hence the stated charge time they give of about 12 hours to charge over USB

USB is 5V, the jump starters have multiple lithium cells of lower voltage than that.

So........... has anyone used a NOCO unit on an AGM battery?

Think I’m good, just read the manual and it said lead acid batteries only. Had a panic thinking I have AGM.... but looks like that’s still classed as lead acid.....

Yep works on both AGM and basic lead acid batteries 👍

Mine has just arrived

Still charging mine up....
