What is the output voltage of the booster? If sub 15 V it didn't cause damage.

What does cause damage is trying to crank with a depleted battery that causes the starter solenoid to chatter. This impresses high voltage spikes on the electrical system and will damage parts. Think about how an ignition coil works. The car owner then blames the booster / battery charger when the damage really occurred prior to the boost.
