The Power Booster Device was a construct made by Colonel Jack O'Neill while under the influence from the Ancient Repository of knowledge. It consisted of a liquid naquadah power cell from a staff weapon. In addition to this, it was made with Earth based technology.

The device would be hooked up to the power system powering the Stargate and increased the energy outpost by a factor of ten. It worked in conjunction with the modifications made into the dialing computer at the SGC and allowed travel to Othalla within the Ida galaxy. (SG1: "The Fifth Race")

After its usage, the device remained inert and inoperable even after being supplied with a fresh naquadah power cell. (RPG: "Friends and Foes: Stargate Season Two")

Major Carter was later able to reactivate the device after she studied the naquadah generator of the Orbanians. It was used in a mission through the quantum mirror to help the SGC of an alternative reality make with contact with the Asgard and repel the invasion of Apophis. (SG1: "Point of View")

It is likely that this device was an advanced form of Naquadah Generator, similar to the Mark 12 Generator mentioned by the McKay Hologram in (ATL: "The Last Man")
