  • If your batteries are in parallel, you can use two Boost Air units to double the starting power if needed.
  • If your batteries are in series, you cannot use any 12V Boost. A 24V jump starter would be required.
Can I take Boost Air on an airplane?

Yes. Boost Air models are FAA-compliant and can be taken on a plane, however, they must be in your carry-on as lithium batteries are not permitted in checked luggage. All Boost Air models are under 100Wh which is the limit set by the FAA. For more information or current updates, please see the link below to the FAA guidelines. We also recommend contacting the airlines you are flying to see if they have additional restrictions.

Is Boost Air made in the USA?

AX65 is proudly designed in the USA and manufactured overseas to ensure our customers receive exceptional design and quality at the most affordable price.

Care Tips
Why does my device go slightly past the pressure I set?

This is to compensate for air loss while disconnecting, Boost Air will add slightly more air than it was set at. For example, you may see Boost Air end up at 37.0 PSI instead of the set pressure of 36.5 PSI to compensate for the .5 PSI that will escape while untwisting the air hose connection.

What is the recommended duty cycle to prevent overheating?

The recommended duty cycle for AX65 is 7 minutes at 30 PSI, followed by 53 minutes of rest.

What if Boost Air isn't detecting my car's battery?

The AX65 is designed to jump start 12-volt lead-acid batteries down to 3-volts. If your battery is below 3-volts, the Boost LED will be "OFF". This is an indication that the AX65 can not detect a battery. If you need to jump start a battery below 3-volts there is a Manual Override feature, which allows you to force "ON" the jump start function.

Learn how to use Manual Override mode on AX65

Should I charge Boost Air before using it?

Yes. Boost Air will arrive partially charged. Fully charge the unit before first using it to ensure optimal performance.

What is the optimal way to store Boost Air?

Please charge the unit before storing it to elongate its lifetime. NOCO Boost Air should not be stored below -4ºF (-20ºC), and not exceed 122ºF (50ºC) for any reason. Storing outside of these ranges can cause damage to multiple crucial components of the device. Store at 77ºF (25ºC) for optimal longevity. Do not store outdoors. Instead, store in a dry indoor location with at least 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) of space around the product to allow for adequate airflow. Wrap the hose and disconnect cables to protect them during storage.

What are the operating temperatures for Boost Air?

NOCO Boost Air can operate within the temperature range -4ºF to 122ºF (-20ºC to 50ºC). AX65 is equipped with thermal sensors that will prevent it from operating outside of this temperature range for your own safety.

What if the clamps touch?

Nothing, it is perfectly safe. Boost Air has built-in spark-proof sensors that prevent power from being delivered unless a battery is detected or the device is in Manual Override Mode.

 

When in Manual Override Mode: Do not allow the positive and negative battery clamps to touch or connect to each other, refer to the user guide for more information.

Can the clamps be connected to the battery backwards?

The REVERSE POLARITY error LED will illuminate, but it is perfectly safe and there won't be any sparks. With Reverse Polarity Protection, Boost Air will not deliver power unless connected to the battery correctly.

 

When in Manual Override Mode: Do not allow the positive and negative battery clamps to touch or connect to each other, refer to the user guide for more information.

Can I recharge Boost Air in extreme heat?
