    Jump pack recommendations

    Can anyone recommend a good jump pack/starter? I have a Weego that I've always kept on the boat just in case I need it on the lake. Luckily I haven't had to use it on the lake but once in the 5 or so years I've had it. I couldn't get my riding lawnmower to start the other day, so I got the Weego out of the boat compartment and used it to start the lawnmower. It started the mower, but it barely started the mower and it used all the juice in the Weego to barely start my mower. It was fully charged before jumping the mower also, as indicated by the lights on it... I think it's getting towards the end of it's lifespan and am going to replace it to have a new one on the boat. Can anyone recommend a good one? I've heard good things about the Audew's, but was curious if anyone has had one that's lasted a long time and always been reliable. I just need it to start my 150hp Mercury if my cranking battery ever decided to go dead. Thanks!

    I’ve used my NOCO Boost 40 to jump a few cars.

    Audew you can't go wrong the best price and performance out there. Check out project farm's you tube test of the jump packs.

    GB70 I got on Amazon Prime Days. I have not had to try it but I took all the BBC’s experts word on it!

    Audew 2000 couldn't say enough good about it...... heard some say it doesn't hold its charge....i put mine in my truck last October at 100% and took it from the truck to the boat in May it was still 100%. A friend in a tournament had his cranking battery go dead, i gave him my Audew he used it to start his boat (150 hp) 6 or 7 times through the day and it had 83% at the end of the day

    GOOLOO GE1200 (I actually have the 800a, but I think that model is discontinued.)

    https://us.gooloo.com/products/bundle-ge1200-box

    It holds its charge for a long time. It has boosted my tractor, zero turn, atv, 250 pro xs, and many dead parking lot batteries. Less than $100.

    I just upgraded to a Noco GBX 155 to replace the GB70 on my boat. It's got 3 times the cranking power, so it will start anything on the water and more than once. The GB70 is going into my pickup and the GB40 went to my kids Toyota Camry. I have all the sizes covered where needed....

    Thanks for all the recommendations! I was looking for something dependable but should have specified I'd like to stay somewhere in the $100 range, no more than $150 preferably.

    I watch a lot of the project farm videos. Pretty informative. takeaways from the video on jump starters: is the Audew is definitely great and if I had a NOCO I would definitely test it before I trust it
