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 re 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 rst 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.
Here is general guide of ProBooster choice for different engine size:
