488 Jump starting from a NOCO battery stsrter

Maybe try a practice run by clamping the battery clips on the battery posts as best you can but DO NOT turn on the jump starter until you are sure of connections being solid and secure. In any case do not turn on the GBX75 until connections are made and you get the green light. On my 458 I have a copper lug that I made that extends off the positive terminal that is my clamp on place for positive. The negative terminal has enough exposed metal on the release clamp that I don't need any extra lug to clamp. Each vehicle battery situation is different and variable. Try it out would be best way to learn that, and maybe make a picture of it and attach it to the Unit or inside the battery door as a reminder.

I have a NOCO as well, but I can imagine what a clusterf*** it’d be if I actually had to use it. At night, in the rain, of course

 

I have a NOCO and used it once on my 488 spider. There's not a lot of room but i could get the clips on the terminals well enough to start the car. At night, you had better have a flashlight.

 

Its a no no on a 430, can fry the ECUs

 

I'm in same boat- have one but havent used it and also wonder how once I need it..... and yes, the F430 is a big no no-- I had two over 11 years but the F430 had the nice switch in bonnet to turn off all power which kept battery from going dead.

 

I have one and used it to jump start my F8 successfully. As mentioned in previous posts, I was a bit nervous I was going to damage the electronics so I called the dealership and had a tech on the phone while I jumped the car. NOCO Boost got me out of a jam. I replaced the battery shortly afterwards.

 

I posted this pic before which I took at the Ferrari dealer. They charge and jump start (if needed) with the positive clamp connected to the positive battery pole. I observed that the negative clamp was connected to the battery metal frame which provides an adequate ground. In this case a Pista with a Lithium battery. Should work for non-Lithium batteries. So it appears that as long as you have a good ground,no need to squeeze between the negative battery pole.

Thanks for posting this pic as it jogged my memory. When I jumped my F8, I attached the negative clamp to the metal frame around the battery. It wasn't too difficult to maneuver.

 

This is the Start -stop setup for the battery if your car has that option. If your car doesn't have that option the neg terminal is up on top of the battery on the left. I suppose you could clamp the neg on the disconnect terminal just like you show in your picture. Thanks for the pic. I wonder if you could just clamp negative on the crossover bar that is connected to the chassis?
