6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your NOCO Boost GB150, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips. For more detailed information, consult the full user guide.
- Unit Not Turning On: Ensure the unit is sufficiently charged. If the battery is completely depleted, it may take a few minutes of charging before the unit responds.
