It was on sale for 65 bucks so having a 7 year old original battery in my Genesis I decided to pull the trigger. Just initial impressions for now. It seems very well made, much better quality than an average Chinese made product. It comes with a lot of useful things, like phone charging cables (tried with an android, works fine), a flashlight, and a very handy binder style storage case. Also there are 12v and 5v outputs for other things, like a radio for example. It seems to have various smart circuitry and indicators so it's fairly fool proof. The device feels heavy and substantial, likely because of a good capacity battery, the manual mentions Li-polymer. The rough dimensions are 7"x3.5"x1.5". One negative review in French mentions (I think) some self-discharge, so for the next month I will be checking on it to make sure there is nothing funny. Feel free to ask questions and I will update the thread as time goes by.

Ya, keep us updated.  Been thinking of buying one for the boat and keeping it in the truck for the winter.  A friend has a NOCO, boosted a truck with it after sitting in his truck in the cold for months.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Checked on the charge yesterday, expecting ~ 90% since the manual says it should be charged every 3 months. Surprisingly it still showed 100% so I figure the batteries are fine and I think the device is a keeper.
