Re: question about car battery booster

When hooked up to a battery correctly, any jumper box will work on any car, period.

Re: question about car battery booster

Agreed, if by booster you are referring to the jump starter packs. The starter packs just contain a sealed lead acid battery, usually a 17Ah or 19Ah SLA which is good for about 400 amps of instantaneous (surge) current. It's no different from jump starting a car, except you don't need to worry about damaging the electronics in the donor vehicle and some of the starter boxes also having large switches/relays to prevent them from having the incorrect polarity or sparking when connected.
