    Voltage Booster PRO is an over engineered solution to the do-it-yourself diode modification. It is crazy simple, robust, and easy to install. The Voltage Booster PRO allows you to easily increase your Toyota alternator voltage without expensive DC to DC chargers or other equipment.



    This popped up in my book of faces page as an ad so I thought I would post it here for you to see if anyone has seen this and if you have any thoughts. Is it better than a diode fuse or just another way to get someone's money? $85 seems little pricey

    I bought the voltage booster pro after going down the rabbit hole. My battery was measuring 13.0 volts and after install and switched to low it measured 13.7-13.8 regularly. I built the gym diode but got nervous and opted to pay the money for something little more “official” for my peace of mind.
