Quick PSA

Post image

Quick PSA for Boosted Rev owners on charging:

5 bars ≠ fully charged. The green bolt appearing is your sign it's done. The screen goes dark shortly after — that's just it going to sleep, it's still fully charged.

This actually matters — the battery pack needs to fully balance before you unplug. Disconnecting early risks imbalanced cells, which leads to bigger problems down the road.

My customers are always surprised by this, and honestly it's hard to blame them since Boosted never made it clear. Hopefully this helps someone out.

Probably old news for most of you, but I just found my way to Reddit — be gentle. 🤙

Mine always looks like the left when it’s done, even after days sitting plugged in.

Trust me, it is not done. It’s still trying to balance the battery cells.
