Thank you for choosing the
Simple Start™ Vehicle-To-Vehicle Battery Booster.
This car to car
booster is an innovative product that replaces the use of inconvenient booster cables to jump-start a
car. All you need to do is to insert the Simple Start's black plug into the working car's 12 volt accessory
outlet and the red plug into the 12 volt accessory outlet of the car that needs to be boosted.
