What is a Battery Boost?

A boost or jump start is a procedure of starting a motor vehicle that has a discharged or depleted battery. In this case, an external supply of electricity connected by a temporary connection (usually jumper cables) is needed to crack the engine. Once the vehicle has been started, its normal charging system will recharge on its own and no longer needs to be connected to an external power supply. Simply running the engine should sufficiently charge the battery. In some cases, if your battery is at the end of its life, boosting it will only be a temporary fix and you will need a new battery installed. 

Does boosting harm your battery?

Boosting will put slight stress on your battery and alternator. However, in most cases, this process is harmless. A healthy battery will be unaffected by the jump-start, and your battery will recharge as you drive.
