Did I just get lucky?

Got home from a 4 day work trip and saw my wife had left the lights on on her 4R for an unknown amount of time. All the lights. Low beam, fogs, and ditch. Just grabbed the Noco that had been sitting in the back of her vehicle for a year or more untouched and it jump started it no problem. Pulled it into the garage to hook up to a trickle charger and left it there. We keep a Noco jump starter in both vehicles

The last time I used jumper cables on a truck, the PCM went bad soon after. Coincidence? Maybe, but I´m not taking any chances. I use boosters and nothing else.

The Noco sounds like the perfect solution - smaller and easier to handle than my big, old jumper cables, and safer. I can also use it to charge my cell phone at our off-the-grid cabin. All I have to do is charge it once in a while.

But, with that big Lithium battery pack, have there been any reports of these things exploding/catching fire?

If the manual has jumping instructions and you follow them there should not be a problem.

here's another one...guess these things are cheaper than I thought...

I have the NOCO GB40. It works great as I've used it 3 times now to jump start my '19 T4R ORP without any problems. With the matching storage case it fits perfectly in the little storage cubby hole above the passenger rear wheel well.

I used to have a set up jumper cables crammed in there with my tool kit roll but the NOCO is a much better tool and setup.

A big thing to remember when jumping a vehicle is right when the vehicle that is being jumped starts make sire you disconnect the jumper cables!! You don't want both cars connected while there both are running, that is when damage is done.
