About the Power Booster: The easy-to-install Power Booster Accessory is made for the Tempest sensor device in locations where there is not enough sunlight to keep it running year-round.
Do I need a Power Booster? The Tempest is designed to operate on solar power and the vast majority of Tempest owners do NOT need a power booster. For more information, please see this help page.
Note: Please be sure to select the appropriate variant for your region.

Nice unit that works well. Arrived damaged and needed repair to plastic tab on power connection plug.
Bought the power booster. It works good but there could have been more information about getting the Tempest device talking to the Hub again so we wouldn't needed to contact support. Also wish there was a better way to manage all the connecting cable extra wire.
Notice: read about your sun requirements for the unit to be self sustaining. These don't do well with trees, or in northern locations in the dead of winter. I still love the station but wish I had another month of data saved. Also, when anyone needs one the discounted price for the part should apply to all. My customer service person neglected to mention when I called
I live in the Pacific Northwest on a property that gets plenty of sun in the summer, but almost zero in the winter, so I found that my new Tempest's solar powered batteries did not fair well under these conditions. So, I bought the Power Booster and it did the trick! I currently have it plugged into the mains until I install it in its permanent position, but will thereafter use the battery portion of the booster to augment as needed. Perfect solution!
Brought my dead station back to life, it now charges on its own.
