Noco Boost Plus GB40 vs Hulkman Alpha 85 Jump Starter

The Hulkman Alpha 85 is the stronger jump starter on paper: 2000A peak, a 20000mAh battery, up to 60 jumps per charge and an 8.5L gas / 6.0L diesel rating. The Noco GB40 is smaller, lighter and simpler, rated for 6.0L gas and 3.0L diesel with up to 20 starts per charge. Owners of the GB40 praise how easy it is to use and store in the car, while some wish they had bought a larger model. Buy the Hulkman if you have a big engine, a diesel, or want a status display and long standby; buy the Noco if you want a light, no-fuss unit for a normal car.

• Choose the Noco Boost Plus GB40 if you want a compact, lightweight jump starter for a standard gas car and value simple operation over a display and extra capacity.
• Choose the Hulkman Alpha 85 if you drive a large gas engine or a diesel, or want a screen, faster recharging and many more jumps per charge.
