A battery booster is nothing more or less than a backup battery. It will start the engine of his boat (also effective for his car) when the battery is too low to provide the necessary electrical power. It can therefore be considered as a safety device.
Previously equipped with lead batteries (heavy and bulky), lithium boosters are much smaller and more compact. These models have only advantages:
- Compact and lightweight
- Very powerful.
- Requires little maintenance.
- Most models are equipped with a charge status indicator and one or more USB sockets for charging phones or tablets.
- Very affordable in price
Enerjump, a 200 A booster

In addition, it is equipped with a USB socket to charge mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, cameras, MP3 players...). It is also equipped with a powerful LED flashlight that can launch an SOS in case of emergency. A charge indicator always indicates precisely the state of charge of the booster.
