Batteries located on both sides of the vehicle
Test… Connect…
2.4. Starting attempt
When using the Booster to start an engine, do not crank for more than 8-10 seconds, and wait
for a further 3 minutes before a second attempt.
If after the 3rd attempt the engine does not start, it may be necessary to identify a further cause for
the breakdown.
NOTE: If you’re Booster is fully charged but the starter turns slowly, the vehicle or Booster battery
may need checking for short circuit.
- 15 -

2.5. Protection
Your Booster is provided with an internal fuse, in instances of too long a starting attempt or short
circuit, the fuse will blow. This can be determined by checking the example below.
2.6. Storage
□The Booster can be stored in any position.
□Do not store below 0°C (32° Fahrenheit), as this will affect the performance of the battery. The ideal
operating temperature is between 10 to 25°C (50 to 77° Fahrenheit).
□When not using the Booster for long periods of time, recharge the unit (using the original automatic
electric AC 230V or 110V charger) every three months for at least 48hrs.
□Clamps must be stored on their support posts, ensuring they do not come to contact with any
metallic surface. During charge there is current on the clamps and you will melt the contacts (poles)
in the charging plug.

(fully charged).
3.3. Alternator Testing
After starting the engine at 2000 Um, leave the Booster connected to the vehicle and press the
‘voltmeter’ button. The Voltmeter will indicate between 14 and 14.4volts (at 2000rpm) if the alternator
is functioning correctly.
3.4. Recharge the Booster using the AC 230V or 110V/DC 12V charger
Never wait until the Booster is completely discharged before recharging.
An electronic full automatic charger AC 230V or 110V/DC 12V is provided with the Booster. Connect
the charger to the sector AC 230V or 110V, then connect the charger to the Booster via the recharge
plug Neutrik 4 poles.
The Booster can be left permanently connected to the automatic charger, to maintain correct charge
level.
If the light of the charger indicates:
□orange: your Booster is charging
□green: your Booster is charged but it is recommended to leave it continuous
on the sector to maintain the batteries of the Boosters in perfect condition
□red: there is a problem in the recharge circuit. Be careful, your Booster is
not charging. Contact immediately your seller
3.5. Recharge on board of a vehicle 12V
A male to male cord (DC/DC) is available on request in order to recharge on board of a 12V vehicle
via the cigarette-lighter plug.
- 17 -

4. Preventing premature failure of your Booster batteries
Correctly recharging the Booster batteries increase its efficiency and its lifetime!
4.1. Recharging
1. The Booster must be put on continuous charge between uses.
□Below 12,4V, the Booster batteries will start to sulphate and irreversibly
loses performance. The lower the voltage, and the longer the time spent in a
discharged state, the deeper the sulphation. When not in use, the Booster
batteries must never drop below 12,4V (well-charged = 13V).
2. Never recharge the Booster on a non-automatic garage charger or on an automatic charger
set on « fast charge » or « boost » position.
□You risk overcharging the Booster and higher than 14,7V, hydrogen may
form inside of the batteries, resulting in explosion risk.
3. Never recharge the Booster via the cigarette lighter plug of the Booster, the recharging plug
(Neutrik®) is situated on the rear of the Booster.
□The Neutrik® plug is a 4 pole plug, provided to recharge the 2 batteries at
the same time. The cigarette lighter plug (outlet 12V) is only connected to one
battery and is just provided for the connection of a portable lamp 12V
(maximum 16A) or all others accessory 12V.
4. Never completely discharge the Booster batteries.
□The batteries do not have a memory effect.
5. During the charge, the clamps MUST never touch a metallic surface.
□You may melt one or several poles in the charging plug.
4.2. Starting
1. Important: on vehicles difficult to start, crank the engine for a maximum 10 seconds and wait
for 3 minutes between further attempts to restart the vehicle.
□Three reasons for this method:
a. to allow the voltage of the Booster batteries to build up again.
b. to allow the renewal of gasses inside the batteries.
c. to allow the internal components of the batteries to cool down.
□If you do not wait and/or the starting attempt is too long, you risk losing
power, you reduce your starting possibilities by the second attempt and you
risk melting the fuse inside.
2. Never connect the Booster to a battery or starter which is in short-circuit.
3. Never place the Booster in short-circuit, for example :
A. By connecting the red clamp (+) to the negative terminal of the battery and
the blue clamp (-) to the vehicles earth.
- 18 -

□The inversion of polarity signal will not operate because you are
connected 2 x to the mass and you are not in inversion of polarity.
B. By connecting the clamps on the positive and negative terminal of the 2
batteries which are connected together in the vehicle 24V.
□This will result in the Booster fuse of the batteries to blow in less than
one second.
4. Never disconnect the Booster while engine running when there is no battery in the vehicle or
when the vehicles battery is at 0 volt.
□This may cause failure to the diodes of the alternator.
5. Never connect the Booster on a vehicle 24V when it is in position 12V.
□Forming of hydrogen and explosion risk.
4.3. Remark
If someone else uses the Booster, ensure they are well informed on how to use it safely, and have
read and understood the operating instructions. The longevity of the Booster depends on it.
To ensure long life and optimize the use of the Booster batteries, you must put the Booster on
continuous charge after each use using the automatic charger provided
- 19 -

5. Electronic components of vehicles
5.1. History
For more than twenty years, vehicles and engines of all kind are provided with electronics
components more and more sophisticated.
Those are perfectly compatible with the use of a Booster in contrary to the old starting practices, still
too much used and extremely dangerous for vehicle electronics and for the health and safety of the
users.
5.2. Car manufacturers’ recommendations
Faced with the multiple requests from garage owners, some manufacturers have worked out a
process of intervention to follow if the battery fails that excludes any other form of intervention under
pain of loss of warranty.
It is, therefore, important to read the vehicle user manual before doing anything on a vehicle’s
battery.
Our Boosters perfectly match manufacturers’ requirements. None prohibits or advises against the
use of a battery or a release Booster.
5.3. High voltage surge
How can one damage or destroy one or more electronic components?
Answer: by provoking high voltage surges.
A high voltage surge is a small spark or a very powerful stray flash provoked by voltage differences,
short circuits or reversals of polarity, or again, and quite often, making electrical welds on vehicles
without disconnecting the battery or using a special Anti-Zap filter.
The small surges damage or destroy electronic components of board computers or ordinary logic
controllers.
Stray flashes and electrical welding, contrariwise, do greater damage.
If the Booster is used according to instructions, it is impossible to provoke a voltage surge.
