Noco Boost Plus GB40 Lithium Jump Starter | Can I Fix It?
In this video we're going to be looking at a Noco Boost Plus GB40 Lithium Jump Starter. It was advertised on eBay as not turning on and not charging.
Let's get it on the blue mat and see if I can figure out what's wrong with it and hopefully repair it!
I'm not an expert, but I do enjoy trying to fix things.

This Barry from Middletown Delaware USA. I’m a 70 yr old stroke victim, my friend, you are without a wizard ! ! Since my stroke I can’t read. But to watch and see and hear , videos have made me a happy boy. I Thank You . Best wishes.
Thanks Barry 👍
Oh look a big Clive tribute act. 😂
1000amps, sure, no problem :) I love watching things being repaired instead of being thrown into a landfill. I'm old school when it comes to soldering so watching components being desoldered and soldered using hot air kinda' blows my mind.
Thanks 👍yes most stuff is now surface mount. I used to think it was more difficult that it is. If you have the right equipment and a bit practice it does get easier 🙂
I love it when you go from soldering surface-mount components that need a microscope to see to "and let's start a tractor".
😂😂😂Or fixing a solar inverter, and then having to reverse engineer their software..
I couldn't take my eyes off the thick black and red cables floating perilously close to each other. You're a braver man than I........
Those wires flapping in the breeze carry no risk of shorting out. You see, the relay (black box) next to the row of MOSFETs is breaking the connection for the positive lead. For those wires to go live, that relay must be engaged. That why when you have the clamps on your car battery nothing will happen until you press that button giving the booster the OK to switch on that relay. He should have explained it, though. I'm sure you were not the only one wondering why no fireworks.
It was fine, they were isolated via the relay and only get powered if the relay gets energised.
@@BuyitFixit Were both ground and plus isolated/switched?
Yes, the positive wire went through the relay and the negative seemed to go through a bank of mosfets, although they could have been diodes for reverse polarity protection (I didn't investigate that part too much).
@@TylerDurden-pk5km Doesn't matter, BOTH poles must have a complete circuit for any current to flow.
Excellent repair - I admire your skills, fault-finding, patience and tenacity. Also your ability to find some great Ebay 'spares or repairs' bargains. You deserve a lot more subscribers.
Thanks so much 😊👍
Yes completely agree... unbelievable!!!!!! For me one of the best and interesting channel on youtube!
@@mazafreno Thanks 😊👍
This episode was like watching an explosive tech defuse an IED. On the edge of my seat and cringing. Whenever I have to work with lithium "spicy pillows" I keep a sand bucket with a metal lid near so I can ditch them if they start burning. A bucket of water works well also to buy some time to get the flaming spicy pillows out the door before they smoke up your shop.
Thanks for the advice 👍
Awesome troubleshooting skills! I must say that a true killer would have asked about the little red button!!! A little Fifth element reference there btw. FYI all you have to do is connect the jump starter, turn it on and not use the little red button unless you are sure you have the battery connected properly. The red button bypasses the built in protections such as reverse polarity protection and delivers full amps to what you are connected to!!!
Thanks👍 yes a couple of people mentioned about the button. Guess I should have read the instructions 😂😂
I really admire your patience... these types of repairs get under my skin a little bit when they keep fighting me. I need to try and be more like you when it comes to keeping my cool. Great video and nicely done!
Thanks 👍Sometimes I find it's better to put something away for a few days, look at something else and then come back to it if it's being really stubborn. It seems to work for me anyway.
@@BuyitFixit I agree 100%! Thank you for sharing the video!
@@BuyitFixitThe same thing applies to working on your project vehicle. 👍 Nice work repairing this booster rather than adding more plastic to some landfill that’s already full of other manufacturer-deemed ‘non-repairable’ items. It’s kinda sad how the world seemed to become a throwaway society, rather than building things that can be more easily rebuilt/reconditioned by the consumer…Remember when cell phones actually had battery covers? 😕
haha I loved the contrast from spending hours on diagnosing a tiny pcb and then going to your tractor 😄 i love your content. your way of diagnosing and fixing electronics really helps me to improve my own skills. im actually surprised, that i wouldve probably had enough knowledge for this fix, but i am lacking a proper way for a pcb diagnosis. looking forward for your content! cheers
Thank You 👍🙂
Very impressive troubleshooting ! The NOCO is anice unit that can be used on a dead battery ! Nice to see it resurrected !
Thank you kindly sir 👍
Just a tip when you are doing something as fiddly as that i recommend putting tape on the negative soldered end just to make sure you do not short. Easy done.
Thanks 👍
Like when watching a movie where the protagonist faces challenges the audience feel it - i felt the successful repair was done myself with all the headscratches and frustrations in between! Thanks for that
Thanks 👍Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
You have a particular set of skills. I admire your persistentcy ,patience, your mind follows circuitry in an excellent way ......thank you for the superb video and following along was a blast the tractor lives
Thank you very much Richard 👍
A man of patience, who also seems to run a farm in spare time!
Yes, something like that 😂😂😂👍
Your dedication to fault finding is on another level. You couldn’t give up. You never felt defeated. By shear determination, you got it. Plug it in to see if it works and does the job. You succeeded. I was gonna buy the same model for my son at Halfords. As for NOCO, if a NOCO rep is watching this video, you could have a bucket load of returns, just because the internals are just not up to the job. A normal person, just ain’t gonna do what you did. Customers will buy, find it’s not doin it’s job, return it shop. What a DISASTER for NOCO This video is excellent. Keep up the good work. MEND IT MARK was probably watching this video and sayin, check this first then check that out next.
Thanks 👍I've done a lot better work than this one, the JVC hifi I repaired took me a bit of time, but I got that one in the end. I've fixed tons of stuff from medical ultrasound scanners, RGB lasers, Solar Inverters, to name a few 🙂👍
This sort of thing just happens, and isn't a quality problem. A chip that is faulty, installed in a product, does its job well enough to pass QC testing, then fails in the field. A manufacturer can't avoid this - what matters is their return policies. We don't know anything about this pack, but it is likely that this is a returned device. Maybe returned to Amazon, who sold it in one of their returns pallets.
You can save a lot of time and frustration when trying to locate a mechanically flaky joint by using a small insulated probe instead of your finger. This allows you to apply pressure to a very small area. It's amazing how many faults can be found with a good visual inspection and poking with a stick. 😉
Thanks for the tip 👍
What a pro... Scarey repair...perfect for Halloween ...but an excellent result... I certainly won't be trying that repair at home..!
Ha, I wouldn't say pro, more of tinkerer 😂😂😂
By the way, it detects automatically when to go into boost mode - pressing the boost button pits in to manual mode and energizes the 12V output. If you have a flat battery you can just connect the battery and have it detect the connection (same would apply when you connected it to the starter).
Thanks 👍yes a couple of other people mentioned the same. I didn't read the manual 😂
those two terminals so close to contact with the new batteries! 😰 you are much braver than i am my friend. i am trying to build a jump pack from scratch, learned a lot from your video. I thought it needed 4 cells but 3 also works it seems.
Thanks 👍If you mean the red and black wires, they are isolated via the black relay on the board, so if they touch nothing would happen. Good luck with you're jump pack 🙂
@@BuyitFixit ah that explains it. Thanks again for the very informative video. 👍🏾
You're welcome 👍
The positioning of the scissors and the other tool (i don't know the english name for) at 18:00 got me holding my breath for almost a minute! Damn! Nice repair but keep it safer next time.
Very satisfying to be able to fix something that someone has discarded. Nice job!
Thank you 🙂👍
Once again I watched the whole video, didn’t understand a word you were talking about but just addictive for some reason, nice one, enjoyed it 👍
Thanks👍Sorry about that, perhaps subtitles may help?
@@BuyitFixit no what I meant was I know nothing about electronics but still found it fascinating
@MD-gc4xq Oh right 😂😂😂😂😂👍
@@BuyitFixit The North-East accent is never a problem.

Greetings from Greece. All I can say is that you are an artist !!! Loved watching the entire video !!!
Thank you so much!
I certainly did enjoy the video. Very satisfying to see the jump starter brought back to life.
Thank you 👍
I really enjoy watching you repair faulty items. I really admire the knowledge and skills you have fixing faulty items and i am gratefull that you are sharing that with us. I thoroughly enjoyed this repair and i'll be looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Marc, much appreciated 👍
You've got way more patience than I. Well tracked down and a nice repair and test. A handy thing to have.
Thanks Ian 👍
I have learned so much watching your videos. Thank you for making them
You are so welcome!👍
Great video, watched from start to finish and then subscribed. Now to watch some of your older vids. What a way to spend my Sunday afternoon 😀
Thanks Richard 👍
Yet another cracking video. Proper diagnostic skills, unlike some other channels although still enjoy watching them, I can honestly say yours is the only channel I look forward to. I have one of those but it's the 1500 and that starts my Citreon Relay L4 H3 from a totally flat battery, so flat had to use the key to get in as the fob wouldn't open the door locks, turns out the battery was faulty from new. Keep them coming.
Thank you Martyn 👍Appreciate the feedback 😊
Merhaba batarya değişiminiz ve arıza çözümünüz harika. Bu paylaşım hiçbir yerde yok. İlk defa sizden izledim. Çok teşekkür ederim. 👏👏👏 Pravo İşlerinizde başarılar dilerim. Saygılarımla.
Your one of My favourite Channell’s, your content is informative and fantastic. Thanks :)
Thanks so much 👍Really appreciate your feedback 😊👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, not only an indepth repair, a proper test of pack as well. 👍
Thanks 👍🙂
And another good repair. You do a very good job of finding faults that even the manufacturers do not know about. Call to the manufacturer; can I get a battery replacement? Manufacturer said; No just chuck it into the bin. Hobbyist says; Oh, I will fix it then. Manufacturer says; no, no, no! Hobbyist says; I have already fixed it. Manufacturer says; How did you do that? Hobbyist says; I do not give out any secrets. Repairs are good for products that even some manufacturers do not know about.
Thanks 👍I'm not sure if you saw the FLIR thermal camera video, or the Solar inverter I repaired and then I needed a service code which they wouldn't give me ("no password, no problem" video). That was literally the manufacturer in both cases saying sorry..chuck it. So I fixed both and gave them a piece of my mind. The videos are on my channel and I put the emails I sent and received from them in the videos too 😂😂😂
Stumbled across the channel - love it.
Thanks 👍hopefully you'll like some of my other videos too 🙂
You've a pretty good understanding of electronics and are very patient. Nice video.
Thanks Kris 👍
Loved this repair, & your thought processes
Thank you 👍
Wow they actually work. Great repair 👌
Thanks 👍
Flipping good deduction of the circuitry and fault finding skills, subscribed!
Thanks Charles 👍hopefully you'll like some of my other videos 🙂
I've had my Nocona gb40 for approximately 10 years, its been used a bunch for jump-starts as well as charging other items and it is still going strong! When it dies, I'll definitely buy another Noco branded jump pack!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Very interesting and methodical repair.
Thank you 👍
Great video, reminded me of building surface mount boards at uni a lifetime ago,
Thanks 👍🙂
Great repair video. Your perseverance is a-ok mate.👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Very well done! That was beyond my skill level but I certainly learned a few things and understand circuit components better now. Wanted to point out the ! button is a safety bypass for when the host battery is below a level that can be detected, the jumper should engage by itself in normal conditions.
Thanks 👍yes someone else also mentioned that. I should have read the manual 😂😂😂
Brilliant repair from start to finish. Thanks to you I now understand much better what's going on inside my NOCO and so happy that mine worked right out of the box. Your a good man
Thanks and thank you for your kind comments 👍
Well done as an electronics guy you are braver than me mate.
Thanks 🙂👍
Very interesting and very good job. Thank you very much.
Thank you too!👍
great video - and a good reminder for me to go and charge mine up to prevent the batteries swelling!
Thanks 👍Hopefully you remembered to charge it 🙂
Always enjoy your great skill of troubleshooting 👏
Thanks 👍
Mick I don’t know how I missed this one, strange but anyway fantastic repair, goes to show how easy things fail for our benefit lol Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks 👍
I bought the exact same jumper pack when I had problems starting my car. It really worked well, I got fed up constantly jumping the car so bought a new car battery, which solved the non starting. I charged the NOCO up put it in it's pouch and plopped it into ny glove compartment thinking it would come in handy for jumping cars or the flash light. It was forgotten for a few months until I wanted to use it on a neighbours car, it showed 1 bar and refused to jump anything, the flash light was very dim. So I thought I would put it on charge and a big no go, the light flashed 1 bar and didn't go up after 2 hours charge. I know I couldn't fix it, but opened the back just in case it was something obvious wrong. When unscrewing the back the case sprung open, the battery had puffed up so much, the pressure had pushed the back open. I didn't fancy playing about with LIPO batteries as they are volatile to say the least, I took the NOCO to a local recyclers to be exposed with. So if you have one of these and put it in your glove compartment,, take it out regularly and charge it. I dread to think how many of these chargers are forgotten in glove compartments or stuffed in the car boot, and they are puffing up ready to ignite in a ball of flames.
Thanks for commenting👍. Good advice, and I bet you are right about lots of these ending up forgotten about and puffing up.
Same hapened to me, I bought it to start my car, got fed up using this every morning, so bought a new car battery. I charged the NOCO up put it in it's pouch, threw it in my glove compartment and forgot it. After a few months, my sons car would not start, the NOCO was flat and it never charged up again, took it to bits and the battery had blown up so much it was pressing hard against the case. In the battery recycling centre it went, If I have a flat battery in the future I'll either charge the car battery or use jump leads maybe even buy a good old fashioned lead acid jump box
I bought the Gb70 model 2000amp took a chance from John Pye auctions came in at £70…Roughly £200 in shops… It’s been brilliant holds a full charge for over a year…only slight issue the charging port has slipped inside so can only be charged through cigarette lighter port in the car…But works great Excellent work in the video ❤
Thanks Mike 👍
23:00 Been waiting for those contacts to touch each other... 🤣 A nice repair. Re-celling is always a pain. 👍
Thanks 👍Yes, I was hoping the cells were ok when I bought it and it had some other problem, which it turned out it also had 😂 The black and red wires are isolated from the pack by the black relay on the board, so they only have power when the main board activates the relay😉
Good job well done, a pleasure to watch! And the feeling of getting such things repaired is so satisfactory - worth much more than these much too expensive nocos cost. At least that is my experience from working in a repair cafe or tinkering for myself...😊
Thanks 👍yes I volunteer at our local repair cafe too 🙂
Otay plumbers tinning flux plus a little bit of light sanding makes the solder stick almost instantly to the battery tabs. The tabs are optimuzed for spot welding rather than soldering so a more agressive flux is needed. ❤
Thanks for that 👍🙂
Best boost pack ever. I had the GB70 fail out of warranty, unfortunately this video wasn’t around then but the manufacturer replaced it at 50% cost which I thought was very fair.
I'm not convinced myself. Seems a lot of people have problems with them, but thanks for commenting and letting me know your thoughts 👍
This is the kind of stuff i come to youtube for. Subscribed
Thanks, I'm sure you will be impressed with some of my other videos 🙂👍
Very interesting and educational thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
Cool vid bro! You earned your battery pack indeed. Good job fixing it and not sending it to landfill. I’ve got a few things in various stages of “fixed” laying around my place! 👍
Thanks 👍😂😂you and me both!
Cracking job, nice perseverance 👍😊
Thanks 👍
Gteat repair! I have a GB70 and has served me well for many years, it if ever has a issue i have your excellent video to help! 👍👍
Thank you 👍
Well done as always, waiting for more fixes.
Thanks 👍New one out tomorrow 🙂
a great video your so patient with problems
Thanks 🙂👍
I noticed your channel and I must say it was interesting to follow the mystery of the faulty battery pack that I own as well. Thankyou for a great and very thorough video.. fantastic job!! Cheers from Canada Andrew
Thanks Andrew 👍Greetings from the UK 🙂
That was a nice catch ! and a great Tractor...cheers.
Thanks AndyMouse 👍
Yes I would like to see more of this. And submit a request: it would be great if you did not use time lapse, details are always missed when you assemble (or disassemble) this quickly. I think the motto should be: if its worth showing at all its worth showing in real time.
Thanks 👍unfortunately the video would have ended up being about 3 hours long. I ended up cutting a load from it and speeding bits up and it was still 1hr 30 long. A lot of people these days have a short attention span and wouldn't have sat through me rebuilding the cell so I sped that bit up a bit. Thanks for commenting 👍
Ha, you have a tractor. Dude, that's so country! You sound like a city boy, and you repair complicated electronics. The tractor was a total surprise. Well done 'mate'. :)
Thanks mate 👍yes moved to the country a few years back.
Was happy to see it was only half way through the video when you were putting the battery back in.. knew there'd be something more interesting to this one. I wonder what the actual boost amount is on one of these. I thought Noco were a reputable brand but appears not
Thanks. It was a fairly long video but I felt if anyone has a similar unit and wanted to rebuild their pack they now know how to. I had to cut loads from the video too. The "first cut" was and hour and a half which was far too long...
@@BuyitFixithaha I'm sure many of us would have watched it still 😁
Hi awesome job. Many thanks.
Thanks Chris 👍
This may be the answer why some of my 20v tool batteries wont charge, even after fully charging the 18650 cells individually. Enjoyed every minute of this video, thank you so much.
Thanks Rory👍I wasn't too sure how this one would go, as a fair chunk was rebuilding a new cell pack. Thanks for the feedback 🙂👍
@@BuyitFixit I was delighted that noco didn't sell the battery pack cause I really wanted to see how that pack was put together. I know it was a lot of work for you but what a great video this is. Amazing how something so small can start a tractor. Have a great week and see you next Saturday.
If the batteries are lithium ion they can go flat if left in tools and the voltage drops below a threshold and the charger can’t “see” it. Put 12volts across the battery’s plus to plus , minus to minus for 15-30 seconds.
Very interesting fault finding. I’ve got the same booster which I have used a couple of times. Very helpful description of what does what. Hope I never have to delve inside it.
Thanks 👍
You put together an interesting video. This is not something I'm likely to ever do, mainly because I do not understand how the interior of these electronics work so I would not do this. But, you put together an interest in enough video that I subscribe to it. Thank you very much.
Thanks 👍I do try and repair a wide range of electronic and sometimes mechanical devices 🙂
Knowledgeable guy two thumbs up
Thanks 👍👍🙂
Hi! I have one of the larger Noco's and it's a wonderful device. It has save my neck a number of times. So I was very keen to see just what is inside these things.
Nice 👍Well I don't think anyone else has stripped one down this far, or if at all, so hopefully it didn't disappoint 🙂
Good video. I have one of these in each of my vehicles. Reminded me it was time for me to charge each one up for the winter.
Thanks 👍Glad it was helpful and reminded you 🙂
Great detection sir. Bmc at fault on them tiny smds. Another unit saved 👍
Thanks 👍
WOW, I just love watching you!!!
Thanks so much 👍😊Really appreciate the feedback 👍
You're a lot braver than I am - the chances of shorting out the cells, resulting in violent self-dismantling, is far too high! (Also I'm clumsy...) Well done!
Thanks 👍🙂
Impressive repair.
Thanks Matt 👍
Good job! Persistence prevails.
Thank you kindly 🙂👍
Your a far better man than I Gunga Din! Keep up the interesting videos.
Thanks David 👍
I have one of these units. I find that it has worked flawlessly. I use it as a huge power bank for various things.
Yes I had been thinking that too. Handy little device and pretty much brand new now 👍
I have one of the larger Noco's, very interesting to see the guts, I admire your fault finding skills, great fix & managing to find replacement cells👍 These are a very useful gadget, I charge mine after each use & once every couple of months, just to maintain the battery & make sure it is ready when needed!
Thanks for the tips!
It is a mis-conception that you should keep lithium batteries fully charged. This is TRUE for lead acid chemistry due to sulphation. But Lithium cells actually last the longest if you keep them around 80% or less. This is also why their storage voltage is kept low. The industry charges these cells to their near theoretical limits due to squeezing max power at the cost of life time. Because that's what the public wants, maximum run time. However, in critical applications such as medical and military, lithium cells are always "undercharged" for max reliability. And your car will still start just fine! 🙂
Thanks, the supplied manual says nothing about battery maintenance, I just assumed it would be the same as my old jump pack that used SLA batteries.@@Runco990
The "C rating" is just the current the cells gave to handle for a long term (all capacity at once) discharge. It comes from the internal resistance and the ability to dissipate heat. For shorter bursts you may go higher with the current, you just have to monitor the temperature and you get limited time. It is all just about the power dissipation, heat generation and the ability to handle the heat, both by thermal capacity, as well as the external cooling. The "1000A" rating is just the current it is able to electrically deliver, aka the internal resistance. Normally for starting you need the peak current only to get the starter moving, so for about 50ms or so, so short enough to allow the cells to handle it. Then to crank the engine fast enough to start it, you need the ability to maintain voltage (minimum in the 7V ballpark), but the current uses to drop to the 200A ballpark, low enough to cover the 10..15 seconds cranking.
Thanks for that. I'm no expert on cells so good to know 👍
The positioning of the scissors and the other tool (i don't know the english name for) at 18:00 got me holding my breath for almost a minute! Damn! Nice repair but keep it safer next time.
👍Thanks. The angle you see is a lot different from my view.
Great video .. i have one in my car boot for emergencies .. bit worrying it was a manufacturing defect.
Thanks, all items have a certain percentage of faulty or returned units. I've not had a lot to do with these boost packs can't really advise.
Crackin fix pal well done
Thanks mate 👍
I really enjoyed this one and thought at one point it had blown yours mains lol. Great fix and great video as always.
Thanks 👍 I wasn't sure how this one was going to do as a lot of it was rebuilding the pack, seems people are enjoying it though. Thanks for the feedback 🙂👍
That was AMAZING to watch.
Thanks Mark 👍
Excellent. The battery delivery is crazy. I'm surprised the posties vans don't ignite..
Thanks 👍Yes I was surprised at the lack of safety concern. That's China I guess for you.
Very well done. The right pad of C12 (36:48) and the left pad of C6 both looked poor, but maybe an illusion. 1000A for 2.5ms, easily enough to jump start a six-year-old's Mercedes GLC 635 AMG. Good to see that China Airways is complying with dangerous goods regulations.
Thanks Ralph, yes sometimes the light on the microscope shows things up which look fine at other angles. Yes China Airways.. 😂😂😂😂👍
A Lie ...... express ....... they are transparent in their name .... lol
Another one saved ...... That's a nice tractor , the Case IH dealer is right up the road from me , and the John Deere dealer is another 3/8 th of a mile farther , Easy to access JD parts like that ............. Take care Mon Ami ...
Thanks Cajun 👍The tractor may feature in another video, as after making this one I received an email from the other side of the world,asking for help with a faulty dashboard...
These things are great and useful - but cheaply made to be consumer disposable junk which is sad. but you were able to rescue one out of the bin with a LOT of skill. nice!
Thank you 👍
Glad there was no voltage, as you did not care at all to keep the black and red big wires separated ;-D
It's not a problem, they are isolated until the relay kicks in 🙂👍
Absolutely brilliant video. You've done yourself a favour there mate. And if you can charge this on a couple of solar panels even better. 👍🏻 keep these videos coming. I'm nearly an expert 😂
Me too 😂😂😂Thanks Murray 👍
that was nuts great work!
Thanks 👍😂😂
Brilliant as always!
Thanks Vince👍 much appreciated mate. I'll have a watch of your latest video shortly, just been bogged down editing the one I'm releasing later today 🙂👍
@@BuyitFixit I know that feeling only too well Mick. Your not missing much, nothing in there too challenging. Enjoy the weekend buddy👍
Nice job, side effect of being eviromently friendly. I have a full solder/desolder station but havent had to use it in anger yet as it were.
Thanks 👍🙂
Very nice video, Thanks
Thank you too 👍
Yay ....nice fault find, really enjoyed vid.
Thanks 👍
Nice fix , tip for connectors measure the voltage on the pcb to see if the conection is any good, it removes the doubt.....
Thanks, yes good idea. They looked very discoloured and overheated so I thought it would be best to replace them anyway.
Excellent job.
Thank you very much!
