( i wonder what he meant by plug-in booster?)
A plug-in booster is a module that plugs into the 120 Volt electrical outlet and produces a high current 12 to 14 Volt supply to bolster a weak battery. They can produce overvoltage spikes that can (and will) damage the electrical & electronic systems in post-2000 autos. The other recommendations won't.
