The INTELLIBOOST feature is a very useful one that we at RUGGED GEEK are quite proud of. The intent behind this safety feature is to make jump starting safer, easier and to also protect the jump starter, to ensure a long life. Jump Starter/Booster packs without this feature will simply send power to the cables regardless of what those cables are hooked to. With the INTELLIBOOST cables on the RUGGED GEEK jump starters, the cables can be touched together and they won't spark.

  The RG1000 is available in 3 variations with different accessories and charging methods.  The Standard RG1000 (with Micro-USB charging) features our new INTELLIBOOST cables with override feature, a Micro-USB charging cable and a cloth carrying pouch.

The green light on the INTELLIBOOST cables turns solid green to indicate that the jump starter is properly connected to a vehicle and is ready to boost. When the green light is on, it means power is flowing from the jump starter to the vehicle and you can go ahead and start the vehicle. The green light comes on when the INTELLIBOOST senses a draw from the vehicle's electrical system. In most boosting scenarios, this green light will come on when you first connect the jump starter to the vehicle battery. If it does not, don’t worry, just go ahead...

The RG1000 will start up to a 7.0L Gas engine and up to a 3.5L Diesel engine, however, we always get stories of people starting even more powerful vehicles.
