Battery Jump Start Units eg Noco
Looking for some advice on what people have and would recommend to jump start in the event of a flat battery.

I see Noco, what other makes are any good please? And what Amp would I need please?

I have a GBX75. It worked when needed for about a year, approximately 5 jumps, when it developed a fault. I used the torch function but then it wouldn’t turn off or do anything else. The battery got so hot the plastic went soft. I took it back to Halfords who ordered me a new one but if anything goes wrong with the replacement I will be looking at other options.

Shout out to Chippenham Halfords for the great service, and also to myself for not buying it online and unable to return a scolding battery! WARNING.

I have a NOCO Boost Pro GB150 3000A bought from Amazon, it has always done exactly what it says it should do and done it well.

It has started many engines including Defenders and Discoverys, John Deere and New Holland tractors, my Iron Fairy crane (which has a 5.7 litre diesel engine which requires 2000+ CCA) and a 16 ton Hitachi excavator. The latter in particular impressed me since it was a very cold day and the excavator has a 24-volt electrical system, so I could only boost one of the two batteries, however the NOCO still started it.
