Car Starter Booster – Is It Worth It?
What else is worth having on hand?
A starter device, also known as a booster, is a compact source of energy that is connected directly to the battery using cables with clamps. Thanks to its high starting current, it can power a discharged battery and enable the engine to be started – even in winter, after a frosty night. The biggest advantage of such a solution is mobility – a portable car starter device will easily fit in the trunk . Many drivers today choose powerbanks with a starting function, which, in addition to helping in a breakdown, can also be used as chargers for phones, tablets or laptops.
When purchasing a device, it is worth paying attention to:
starting current (A) – important for effective starting. For passenger cars, 400–600 A is sufficient, but starting devices for trucks must have much higher power – even over 1000 A;
battery capacity – the higher it is, the more starts the device can perform;
protection – it is worth choosing models with protection against short circuit, overheating or reverse polarity;
additional functions – such as an LED flashlight, 12V cigarette lighter socket or USB and USB-C connectors.
When choosing a booster, choose equipment from a proven automotive store that offers products tailored to various needs – both for private drivers and truck fleets.
