"Hey! We're kicking off an end-of-the-year series where we're highlighting some of the best gadgets that Verge staff purchased this year, just in case you need some gift ideas. And it starts with my pick: a battery pack and portable jumper box for your car called the $100 Noco Boost GB40. Sounds boring, right? Hear me out. Noco Boost GB40 car battery jumper"
"I'd heard about gadgets like the Noco Boost GB40 for years, and I've seen my share of them on gift guides, but I'd never purchased one. Then the battery in one of our cars died while my in-laws had my kids at the playground. I was out of town, and the AAA said it wouldn't come to jump it unless I was with the car. Bad."
The Noco Boost GB40 is a $100 compact battery pack with integrated jumper cables that can jumpstart a car without another vehicle. It functions as a portable power source to deliver starting power directly to a dead battery. The writer had not previously owned one but bought it after a car battery died while family members were away; AAA refused service without the owner present. Family members returned via Uber and another car, and the writer prepared to use the jumper pack to restart the vehicle. The device is presented as a practical, affordable emergency tool for drivers.
