- The big comparison is finally here! been wanting to do this for awhile; finally got my hands on both products, so now it's time to put them to the test! Jump your car, or charge your electronics with them! @@@Here are the links to the Audew chargers if you want to check them out:

This confirms the tests from Project Farm for the Audew. Compact size, good performance and a great carrying case 👍
Project Farm tested it on 2019, I believe there is another more recent video testing new jump starters.
The slow flasher on the aides is an SOS signal. I have aides and I love it ,I always take it on my boat,not too many jump starts out there.
I bought an Audew last week. I haven't tested it yet on a V8 engine but it jump started my dead UTV battery no problem. Saved the day. I will be making a video about the Audew's V8 starting capability this weekend. I know the NOCO GB40 would no start my Mopar 4.7L V8. My work has the NOCO and it would not start my truck which is why I went with the Audew after watching @Project Farm video on battery jump starters.
I have been using my Noco70 for the last year at our car lot and it has always performed every time, So i will buy a audew also and see if it performes the same as my Noco! Thanks!
You can use the load tester on the boosters. Just remember the load tester is not insulated between the clamp holders . Make sure both battery tester clamps are removed from the tester before connecting to the booster. Both boosters have short protection circuits but just in case.
I have the Noco gb70 and also the Audew. I am impressed with the Audew but just wonder what the longevity will be. The Noco seems more heavy duty and I would expect it to last longer.
You told the audience to bypass the safety controls on the Noco.The unit senses the battery when you hook it up. If you hook it up after pressing the boost button you could ark the battery or install it backwards. Read the instructions first.
thanks
So Tru, Hook it up first, Always!
The red button on the noco is a override button it doesn’t always have to be pushed
Auto Auction Rebuilds uses this same Noco on his Copart walk around videos. Starts 4 cyl and even diesel pickups with the Cummins . Gets 15-30 starts out of 1 charge. Nice to see the alternator is charging or not. On yours no guessing, it was almost 14 volts. You know the alternator is OK.
I just bought the Audew without knowing about the NOCO and was worried I’d purchased the wrong jump starter. So happy to see I’m good. Thanks!
If the cables were longer I would choose the Audew over NOCO. Noco does have the same hard case but that's at an additional cost.
Noco times out in 60seconds seems didn’t realize that
I would want to see the jumper packs placed on that load tester.
Soon as you cranked it the noco started right up the other one hesitated for a couple seconds
I got the NOCO 40 to start a 1000cc motorcycle. I also got an eBay £20 unit which is about the size of a pocket calculator. With the main battery removed from the bike, only the Chinese one could start it! NOCO are sparkly junk! And where they get the CCA ratings from is a complete mystery!! Don’t waste money on NOCO crap. Thanks for your video, you proved the point nicely 😁👍
you're welcome- thanks for watching!
Another big question is longevity. All these small boosters are basically throw away after the internal battery quits charging. I've heard 2-3 years maybe. The gimmick is when the negative reviews come rolling in a new "upgraded model" appears and the cycle starts over.
I have had my AUDEW for over 3 years now.
It works and holds a charge as it did when I first bought it !
Thanks for the review, just bought an Audew. What's the ciggy lighter attachment for?
to plug in electronics , chargers, etc that uses a cig lighter
I have both the Audew and the Noco, and after boosting quite a few dead batteries in the Canadian winter, i find that the Noco performs much better that the Audew. I will keep using the Noco, the Audew just couldn't cut it
There are many causes of hard starting 1st the battery...
I like the Audew longer cables and a bit wider clamps would be better… but it does an excellent job … it’s a capacitor so no battery to explode if you leave it in the trunk in the summer!!
yeah the short cables are a bit annoying
You should be able to use the unit without pushing boost. Re-read the manual about what boost does and when and how to use it.
Thanks fur making this video. Will likely go for the audew from Walmart
you may find it cheaper with the link in the description- be sure to check that as well before you decide.
@@Smittyschannel Thank you for the suggestion. In process of cancelling my walmart order for 92 bucks! Already ordered via the link. Breaking payments via paypal in four payments of 17 bucks. Thanks alot again. Cheers
If the battery is not functioning well even you charge it well but after a few minutes it well discharge again :(
Do you have to wait 5 minutes after hooking up the jumper device and then start up the engine?
no, but the longer you wait, the more the unit will put a small charge into the battery.
30 sec should be plenty of wait time before starting the car
bought audew skeptical of these jump packs, it preformed excellent ,recharged after every use . only used it for 6 starts on slow cranking batteries, then it quit working ,wouldn't transfer power to battery even when audew was fully charged. audew less than a year old! no customer support. i watched project farm as you all did and bought on that basis. the noco used on that episode was a small unit basically crap for automotive engines. I now have noco150 pro it's a beast! cranks 7.3 over effortlessly on coldest days. can start this vehicle easily 3 times on single charge
Recently, Monkey Wrench Mike tried to use his Audew on a dead Mercedes, nothing at all! Had to charge the battery and start it that way. See my other comment for info on the Noco...
I just bought the Audew based on Project Farm review, will come in handy when AAA isn’t available.
With the Audew, why would you bother calling AAA?
Me 2
Noco products are greatly over rated in their output as well as having a very horrendous failure rate and I know that for a fact because I am one of many technicians that repair them and I personally repair several dozen of these a year and the vast majority of them are fairly new. There have been several proper capacity tests done on the Nocos as well and to no surprise there actual capacity as well as the true amount of current they put out is substantially less than what they are advertised to put out. It seems that we are living in a time when companies simply put what ever ridiculous number they think will sell these and many other products and the shear amount of fraud is pathetic since companies such as Noco dont just exaggerate the power claims but they flat out deliberately lie about the true specs and there doesnt seem to be any punishment for misleading and bullshit claims .In this case like anything that anybody purchases, consumers really need to take the time and effort to properly research these things because like I mentioned earlier, there are several impartial tests done on these and they arent the paid for bullshit reviews and they do show just how badly over rated these things truly are. Your review is one of the most realistic ones that are currently out there.
gooloo 4000a is the best out there
Not to mention charging a shit ton more for less. Smh.
So which company do you believe has a quality product?
Thanks for sharing , ordering my Audew today
I do have the Audew and it's great.
not supposed to push the boost button until after it's connected to the battery.
thank you
Project farm do all the testings,he uses amp,volt and resistance plus it really thorough.
That's why mine is on order now.
I had a Noco GB40. (claims to start a 6.0 liter gas engine). For me, it was a horrible product, I tried it 3 times and it did not help me any.
@Smitty's channel:
@8:35 This is the same thing happening to me right now. I have an MTX interstate battery in my Audi A5. After I jump started it (with cables) my OBD reader showed me a running voltage of 14.5. I took the cables off, tried to restart the car ...and it did not start. My OBD reader said my charge was 11.2.
Now I'm like WTF. Does a premium AGM battery supposed to do this? Don't know how long it's been sitting. I saw 12/21 on it and I just bought it 2 days ago from an authorized Interstate office/dealer.
I'm conflicted as to buying something like a (power pack) or do I simply buy a compatible battery charger for this 900cc/95Ah battery?
Any thoughts any body ???????
Ideally you should charge / top off a new or used battery before you put it to use; most ppl don't (myself included).
Your battery may have a dead cell. First I would take it back to the store & get another one; might have them test it to confirm your results. A load tester would help confirm this.
Personally I would also buy a battery pack just in case, to cover your butt. Lord knows things only go wrong when you're far away from home or unprepared lol.
Other things to note:
1) Most cars today won't even start unless it's close to 12.0 volts or more.
2) A vehicle's alternator is NOT designed to recharge a battery; it's designed to keep it topped off. If it's a little low, charge it before you drive the car again.
Let us know what happens.
@@Smittyschannel : thx....Im waiting on my charger/maintainer to come in the mail as we speak. We'll see what happens this weekend.
Today 29 Dec 2023 Walmart Online has the Adew 2000 Battery Booster Pak on
clearance for $49.99.
I saw that- thanks for the heads up
HEY GANG! If you missed the Black Friday special, Audew is having a $20 / 20% off sale until Christmas day. Here's the link: m.audew.com/custlink/GDKvmmr6dK
Go get em!
How long does the Audew last before you have to get a new one? I just recently bought a brand new 3 YEAR 🔋 for my 2009 Honda Civic Sedan LX? Do I need one now? Let's say I purchased the AUDEW today can I let it sit there collecting dust for many years do I have to worry about the lithium battery dying, until I actually need to plug 🔌 it into the socket for recharge to use again?
@@arealhebrew I would use it on something once a month or so, either on a car, or to charge your cell phone. Also plug it in to charge for a little bit every few months just to keep the battery energized & working. I still have my original one & it's been 2 years; so far so good
@@Smittyschannel Appreciated 👍 I am about to order
i am watching from the future and the noco is 375$ on sale for black friday 300$ and the audew is 100$ but on sale for black Friday for 65$ so 1/3rd the price and works about the same
I'm getting an Audew 1000A max Friday from Amazon for less than $60! I have a hybrid so all I need is to get the electric side started and that won't be cranking the gas engine to start. This was not an apples a
to apples comparison because of the difference in max amps, but I don't like a bag as a cas for a normally $250 jumper!. Thanks for your video.
Thanks- it was a comparison between their biggest chargers offered; I think the results speak for themselves. Thanks for watching!
Audew 2000A not 1000A
So we can also use it to charged phones and computer ?
yes you can
How long will it run an auto vacuum cleaner, or compressor? Could you use a small inverter with it and run a small flat-screen tv, and for how long???
LOL the Noco is a NoGo. Thanks.
Bought an Audew last year. Complete waste of money. I charged it and put it in my wife’s car (2005 Ford Escape 3.0) in case of emergency. A few months later the battery died, and we needed to boost it. Followed the directions and connected the Audew turned the key and ..... click, click, click - nothing! Battery showed 1 bar. Luckily we were at home, and I have an old NOCO GB40 that had been sitting in the trunk of my car for over a year. Connected it to the Escape and it started right up. I tried charging the Audew but it won’t charge completely. SO I basically have a $100 (Canadian) paperweight/doorstop now. Very disappointed.
Thanks for posting your experience.
Did you top off the Audew? Not sure if leaving it sit for an extended period of time has any effect on it's charge
I ran it down to ~ 20% and then fully recharged it to condition it before putting in my wife’s car. It was only in the car for 3 or 4 months. The NOCO sits in my trunk winter and summer, and was ready to go with no issues. I have used it several times, including one time when my neighbor took his Mustang out of winter storage and the battery was so dead lights on the dash would not light up. It was totally dead, and the NOCO fired it right up. I’m not sure why anyone would want an emergency booster pack that you need to change every time before you can use it? If we had been out somewhere, with no access to the NOCO, we would have been stuck looking for a boost, or calling roadside assistance. But even worse, now it’s just useless as it won’t even charge fully, and it never worked, not even once.
1 bar? does your audew model show % like the one in this video?
Nothing is easy. Every top ten list has something other than the Audew listed. Every field test I have found prefers the Audew to those top 10's that cost double what this unit does. All the field tests seem to agree that the most expensive models are overpriced. I'm buying the 2000 amp Audew and putting it in the car hoping to never use it but comforted that it will if needed.
I have the Audew. I've used it 5 times in 2years and never had a problem. I've used it on V 6 times and my 5.4L Ford F-250 and it started that just as strong as it did with the V-6 . I was skeptical about these small jump starters but have been impressed.
Is it just me, or is the Noco huge compared to the Audew? I just got the Audew 2000 after watching Project Farms testing . It was the clear winner.
the NOCO is huuuuge
@@Smittyschannel They make them big for women, Cause size matters you know LOL
Good shit!!!! Loved your review the best..you proved battery was dead....just the facts !
Thanks! I wanted to make sure I showed that, as many other videos didn't.
Thanks for watching
HEY EVERYONE! Found out Audew is having a Black Friday sale- here are links to getting them at 20-25% off for the next two days! If you wanted to get one, now is the best time. Get em before time runs out- (you should be able to click the links above in the description as well)

Great video.
thank you- wanted to make it as skeptic proof as possible

I gave one jackass a jump he had a stick shift left it in reverse and it hit a mailbox real genius.💯
was probably you huh
HELLO AGAIN EVERYONE! Audew is running a summer special for a few days only!
Use this link to get the 2000 amp jumper pack (like shown in video) for $65! that's the cheapest it's ever been (cheaper than I bought mine for lol)

FYI You're enabling safety bypass by pressing that button. You should be using the IO power button not the !
thanks
I THINK IF THE CABLES WERE LONGER, THE PACK WOULDN'T BE AS POWERFUL...
Noco needs to be off before connecting to the battery as rec. by manf.
thanks
Ok thanks.
Hi. What is the voltage rating of audew wall charger? Is it 110v or 220v? Thanks
110V
110 volts
If you purchase it in Europe you get the 220v charger
@@Smittyschannel What you think about the TrekPow TJ2500 2500A Peak 18000mAh 12V compared to these two you reviewing? Please share your opinion if you have any idea about this model, thanks in advance
@@seekfactsnotfiction9056 Have not seen them in our neck of the woods. Can prob get them online.
If I come across one I will check it out & post the results- thanks for watching :-)
I don't i think the noco started a lot quicker
Damn, this is GB150 pro ! I saw some test the GB 40,GB70 vs Audew ! Audew won both ! This GB150 pro maybe winning! I just bought the Audew for $96.55! Don’t know how much this GB150 pro cost? Wow, I think the Audew win !
the GB 150 is $300 on Amazon
Project Farm tested several jump starters, including the NOCO and the Audew, and the Audew made all the rest look like junk.
That's not true the TopVision did really well as well. The NOCO was definitely junk though
@Mohamed Ekolu Not on the Project farm they aren't. Everything is un sponsored.
@@recrdholdr I think his top 3 were Audew, TopVision, and DP.
@Mohamed Ekolu mine is not. The results are the results, unfiltered.
Mohamed Ekolu And Noco pays you !
Or just get the GB 150
I see he used boost on the audew, but not on the Noco!
you have to use it to get the audew to work as far as I know
Even so, the Noco is overpriced anyway. Not worth paying double.
There's a reason: the green light does not turn on if the battery is dead. It can't confirm you connected with correct polarity. Boost button overrides that. On a normal weak battery, the jump start pack will read enough current to alert you with red, blinking green if you had bad connections. Or will turn solid green if connections are good, in which case you don't need to press boost. My guess is Smitty was not aware of that either, otherwise he would've made the connections first
There's no "extra juice boost" option if thats what you were thinking
Great review👍.
thank you sir
so how much of Audew
How much of what?
When you say the Audew turned the engine over faster, just remember the Noco did it from cold as cold start could be and the Audew did it on an engine which had just recently been fired up. I was born at night, just not last night.
I put the noco back on it afterwards, & it was still as slow cranking as before
Bought the audew 2000. It's so pretty I hate to use it.
I hear ya, its like it needs a screen cover or something, just got one. Great unit
Do test again at same temp 24 hrs later but start with the Audew. Noco lubricated the engine making it easier for Audew on first test. Audew is probably better but not to prejudice the test do it again starting with the Audew then the Noco.
possibly, but most every comparison video between these two shows similar results
@@Smittyschannel Yeah; I know but I wanted to be sure. Audew is most likely the best. Good video! Thanks... 👍👍👍
@@Smittyschannel Tru, Switch them in order, because that first cold start draws the most amps, now that it has started, it draws a lot less amps!
@@chriswoodward478 Buuuut, the NOCO advertises TWICE the amps of the Audew. So that shouldn't even be an issue.
Note the Audew like a lot of the newer boosters have a very high boost voltage ( 16.50v + between 80-100% capacity). A fast turn over rate is desirable in a booster.
Just bought NoCo last sunday. Dead on arrival. I know what I'm replacing it for.
You know you need to charge it right?
@@kennethisaac3799 it didn't charge. Tried number of chargers. Seller told me that 10% of them come faulty
Had a noco GB40, it is junk, it cant give enough power to start a 2.0 4 cylinder engine. Its ridiculous.! went through two units (one replaced by warranty) both behaved exactly the same. Weak.
Your Peak jump charger, the battery can be replaced easily.
Read your directions please, you’re supposed to wait approximately two (2) minutes between start attempts or you risk damage to the battery pack from overheating. Thanks for the video all the same.
thanks for the heads up; it was 40 degrees out that day & it didn't cycle much so there was little chance of overheating
Noco is Substandard quality! Mine had a old style usb connection that did not las one year. Now I can not charge it! Crappy cheap connections!
78$ on amazon 2/15/2024
Slug Bug!!🤣
4000 amps vs 2000 amps...
Funny enough 2000 amps won...lol
Hi there, I am JF.EGWO electrical company. We have a newly released jump starter with air compressor, it's versatile and nice. Are you interested in including our product in your video? We can discuss over this.
The Noco GB40 is useless won't start my 1.6 diesel no way.
Why does it start my 3.8l jeep many times without even the batt conected
@@regardtkruger3041 I don't know how does it ?
Try it on a V8 truck.
I have, and also used it to start my 2-battery Dodge Cummins trucks
Audew not aides .sorry about , damn spell check.
How much How much ? $ sheeeeeat
They lie with amps, a selling ploy. Your test agrees with others, NoCo is a rip off,
WARNING !!! Do not buy from the Audew web site. They double charged my card and never sent my Jump Starter
Thank you for the advise~
Have not had that issue- did you contact them? If so, what was their reply?
@@Smittyschannel I did contact them, they said they are completely out of the Jump Starters and with what's going on now they will try to make some soon.
As for the double charge they aren't giving me any reasons why.
@@shabang8261 if you paid with paypal you can dispute the charges. If you paid with CC you can do the same. I had to wait to get mine as well.
I bought one from the Audew site about the same time as you did. No problems. $89. Cheapest I found it anywhere. Make sure you are buying THIS model. They also sell smaller ones.
Sounds bias
Nope; just my opinion of which one worked better.
I stopped watching when i saw you are not filming this in landscape. That horizontal....
Why would screw up and film in portrait?
Vertically. I hate that dumb move,,,
If you watch the video I am not the one filming. When I film, I film in landscape. So sorry to put you out like that. I will send you a refund shortly....
