Noco has established itself as one of the premier names in portable jump starters, and its Boost Plus GB40 is the ultimate compact unit. It measures just 8.3 x 4.1 x 4.6 inches, which means not only does it fit in your center console or glove compartment, but you could also potentially slip the main unit comfortably into a pant pocket. 

The Boost Plus GB40 provides up to 1000 amps of peak power, making it great for most residential cars, trucks, SUVs, as well as boats and ATVs. It also features a built-in flashlight for working in dim lighting or in the dark on the side of the road, as well as USB ports for keeping your devices charged in an emergency. The front of the unit features no-nonsense controls as well as easy-to-read LED indicators for battery charge and connections. The unit is also rated IP65 for water resistance, so you don't have to worry about splashes, spills, or even a bit of rain.
