Q. How many jump starts can a fully recharged ProBooster perform?
A.
This ProBooster is designed to start only once when fully recharged. It recharges itself after each use, which takes only
about 100 seconds. Therefore, it can jump start many times as needed, successively.
Q. How long can the ProBooster hold a charge?
A.
This ProBooster will self-discharge to 0 in a few days, but it can be instantly recharged from a weak battery within 100
seconds and ready for use.
Q. What is the life span of this ProBooster?
A.
This ProBooster can be used more than 10,000 times before noticeable loss of performance. Ultracapacitors remain
operable for more than 10 years.
Q. What is the effect of low temperature on this ProBooster?
A.
The ultracapacitors in the ProBooster keep the same starting current, even at extreme cold weather—down to -40°C.

Q. Is my ultracapacitor ProBooster safe?
A.
It is extremely safe. Ultracapacitor technology is one of the foremost advantages over the battery-based jump starters.
Ultracapacitors are specially designed to receive and release a large electrical current of instant power.
This ProBooster is also equipped with short circuit/reverse polarity protection. Therefore, short circuit due to unintended use
will not damage the ultracpacitors. They will not overheat and cause fire or explosion.
NOTE: Reverse polarity and short circuit protection is disabled during Override Mode.
Q. Does the ProBooster need to be regularly recharged?
A.
No. The ProBooster relies on the instant recharging of ultracapacitors rather than stored electric energy. Therefore, it does
not need regular recharge and can be stored for years. It’s totally maintenance free!
Q. What is OVERRIDE mode?
A.
The ECU of some cars does not allow engine to start if battery’s voltage is lower than 8V. In this situation, the positive lead
needs to be disconnected from the car battery, and instead connected directly to the ProBooster. Then the ECU can detect
the high voltage provided by the ProBooster.
WARNING: CAREFULLY READ USER’S MANUAL BEFORE USING OVERRIDE MODE.
Q. What is GLOW?
A.
In cold weather, the glow plugs in most diesel vehicles will energize first to heat up the engine chamber before the engine
start, as indicated by the GLOW sign on the dashboard. The process needs a current of 40-60Amp and takes about 4-6
seconds. In this case, after the ProBooster is fully recharged and connected, press the GLOW button, and then turn on the
ignition.
Q. What size of engines can be used with this ProBooster?
A.
Success of a jump start depends on many factors such as battery condition, temperature, age of the car, etc.
