Related QuestionsIs it true that a Boostaroo can prolong the battery life of my portable player?
Frequently Asked Boostaroo QuestionsIt's a fact. Let's consider how a typical MP3 player works. In a MP3 player, at least 70 percent of the battery power goes to running circuitry that produces the audio output for you to listen. As the battery power is drained. The audio signal is the first thing that diminishes. When this happens, you have to crank up the volume to make up for that loss, and then audio quality becomes more distorted. However, turning up the volume on your player also drains the batteries faster.

Related QuestionsI am hearing noises when I plug my AC/USB Boostaroo into my PC. Is my unit defective?
Frequently Asked Boostaroo QuestionsThe answer is no, your AC/USB Boostaroo isn't defective. What you are hearing is the transient noise that your PC produces naturally through oscillation of your power supply and the hard drive whine caused by its mechanical spin. These noises are much more common in older PC's, but a lot of newer PC's have noise filters built into the PC's USB ports, which eliminates these noises. If this problem is occurring, we recommend using the AC power supply for your Boostaroo instead of the USB cable.
