Thanks for the heads-up. This has been on my wish list for a while, so I just ordered one too!

Nice.
Mine has been flawless for about 3 years. Even after leaving in vehicle for 7+ months, 100% charged and i phased my multiple uses.
Been waiting on this, as well. Thank you much!

I went 70 to ensure it would still work if I hadn’t charged it in a while. Plus if multiple starts are needed on a trip or something. Agree the 150 is overkill.
Try the Weego Jumpstarters. They have a holiday sale going on now. I've great success using their jumpstarters.

I carry a GB70, I think it's fine, have used it a couple of times (but not on the 5.7). Just ordered another one for #1 son, $123.41 is a great deal on Amazon right now.

150 might be overkill just to start your own vehicle every once in a blue moon...
But the reason I’m glad i have the bigger 150 it is it means I can jump any number of random people who need it (like what happened in the snow last winter—jumped three vehicles back to back that were dead, and one of them three separate jumps because it kept dying...the 150 didn’t even notice) and never a worry about whether there’s enough left for my own potential need). I also use its power for other things (used it for tent lighting, device charging in tent, run a laptop on AC power via a small inverter away from the truck, and to power my shower head water pump away from the truck).
If you have space for the 150, it’s great peace of mind in the middle of nowhere, and in groups, or simply to help strangers.
$173 is a bargain.

For that kind of money you can buy a capacitor based jump box. It has no battery and won’t ever bloat in high temps or explode.
Gb50 works great for me on our LX. So the 70 is more than enough.

I agree. It's peace of mind and was worth the sale price to me. I also don't have any usb ports in my 60 and I would rather have the overkill of the GB150 to power any devices I need while camping in that than do any wiring on that vehicle.

Blasphemy? Nah.
It’s just that all the hissy fits thrown on threads like that don’t even remotely match 3 years of use on mine. Flawless, despite rarely charging it (I have yet to ever see it show less than 75% charge, even after a year in my truck with multiple uses and never plugging it in). Have frequently jumped a zillion vehicles with it from cars to trucks to tractors...running pumps, powering inverters in camp, running lights, charging devices. The 150 has literally been flawless.
If it pleases folks to blast away...have at it...but tge thing continues to work extremely well.

So I just bought a GB50 after having to jump start my Taco and not having my cables (because my cable stay in the LC). I decided to go with a jump pack instead of another set of cables because, even if I had my cables, there was no one around to give me a jump. I may buy another for the LC but might go bigger. I have not used it to jump start a vehicle yet. I was curious to see how much charge would be consumed by charging cell phones. I was surprised, and a little disappointed to only get two iPhones charged by the GB50. Both phones were totally dead but they sucked the GB50 dry. I'm recharging the GB50 now and will try again. It appeared fully charged when I did my test.
Anyone got some comparison cell phone charging data?
