Which vehicles it is meant for

Check your engine size against that 4.0 L line before you buy. It is printed in the owner's manual and usually on the registration.

Here is the detail most listings skip. The GB20 carries the same 24 Wh battery as the GB40, yet NOCO rates it at half the peak current and a smaller engine range. The difference is in how much current the unit is built to deliver, not in how much energy it stores. If your engine is over 4.0 liters, or diesel, the GB20 is the wrong size.
