What are the advantages of a lithium booster?
This type of booster is designed with a high-discharge lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery. Due to the lightness of its technology, it provides maximum power in a more compact and ergonomic format compared to a conventional booster. This makes it an efficient and easy-to-use emergency starting solution.
Which one to choose, the smaller or the larger?
To choose the right lithium booster, you need to assess your needs based on the highest capacity application you intend to use it for. Example – You own a lawn tractor, a vehicle with a V8 engine, and an ATV... Answer – The booster you should get must have the capacity to meet the starting needs of the V8 engine vehicle, and it will also be compatible with the other applications.
Note – The capacities are clearly indicated on the packaging. If you're still unsure, let your BE expert guide you!
I've never used a lithium booster, is it dangerous?
The majority of the boosters in our range are very easy to use and offer protection features against:
- POLARITY REVERSAL – Even if you connect the clamps to the wrong battery terminals, your booster will alert you to ensure your safety!
- SPARKS – Even if you touch the clamps together, the spark-proof technology will keep you safe!
- MULTIPLE SAFE STARTS – You can perform multiple emergency starts (depending on the model) with a single charge efficiently!
I've heard that lithium boosters struggle to work in cold weather?
It is true that cold temperatures can "numb" the proper functioning of lithium-ion devices. When the temperature drops below the operating range, the lithium-ion chemistry cools down, preventing the device from working. Let us share a little trick for this situation:
If your device seems somewhat "numb" due to the cold, you can activate its operation by using another function (such as the flashlight or USB charger). This will allow the booster to warm up and regain its full jump-starting capacity in a short time.
This is why it's important to choose a robustly designed booster that offers efficient operation across a wide temperature range, such as a NOCO product (-22°F / -30°C to 176°F / 80°C). However, it is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s recommended operating and storage temperature range to avoid damaging the device and ensure its proper functioning. That way, your booster will always be ready to assist you when needed!

Is it really worth investing in a lithium booster just in case my battery fails?
The primary function of a booster is, of course, to help you when your battery fails at the most inconvenient moment. And when that happens, the price you paid for your booster is almost equivalent to an emergency service—except you’ll be faster, more independent, and fully in control with your own booster!
More Than Just a Booster!
In addition to their compact, lightweight, and portable design, the lithium boosters we offer come with ultra-practical features that can be useful in a variety of situations:
- BUILT-IN ULTRA-BRIGHT LED LIGHT with multiple lighting modes, including SOS and emergency strobe – perfect for camping, changing a tire, or signaling your presence in an emergency…
- PORTABLE POWER BANK capable of charging your personal electronic devices via an integrated USB port, such as your smartphone, tablet, or more. Just take the charging module with you, anytime, anywhere!
- ALWAYS WITHIN REACH IN YOUR STORAGE COMPARTMENT (car, motorcycle, boat, RV…), BACKPACK, WORK BRIEFCASE, AND MORE!
I heard that you have to recharge a lithium booster every 3 months, or it won’t work when I need it?
The main advantages of lithium are its high energy density and low self-discharge rate compared to other types of batteries, which reduces the frequency of maintenance charges. Additionally, this type of booster recharges easily and quickly with a simple 12V USB car charger (usually included with the device) or another compatible USB module.
However, it is recommended to recharge your booster before and after use. You'll find that the versatility of a lithium booster from our range ensures you'll really get the most out of your investment, and your device won't end up forgotten in the back of your glove compartment!
