4. Preventing premature failure of your Booster’s
battery
Correctly recharging the Booster battery, increases
its efficiency and its lifetime !
4.1. Recharging
The Booster must be imperatively put on permanent charge between use.

Why ?
n
Below 12,4V, the Booster battery will start to sulphate and irreversible loses perform-
ance. The lower the voltage, and the longer the time spent in a discharged state, the
deeper the sulphation. When not in use, the Booster battery must never drop below 12,4V
(well-charged = 13V).
