Specifications

Controls and Indicators

Front Panel: Power Button, Digital Display, LED Indicator Lights, USB Ports, 12V DC Socket.

Display: Shows battery percentage, error codes (e.g., E1 for reverse polarity).

Flashlight Control: Press power button briefly to turn on; press again to cycle modes (steady → strobe → SOS → off). Jump-Start Ready: Unit must be on and show adequate charge (>20%). Protection Alerts: Display flashes if clamps reversed or short circuit detected.

Jump-Starting Procedure

Follow steps carefully. Ensure vehicle and jump starter are off initially.

  1. Turn off vehicle ignition and all electronics.
  2. Connect red clamp to positive (+) terminal of dead battery.
  3. Connect black clamp to clean, unpainted metal part of engine block (ground).
  4. Turn on jump starter (press power button).
  5. Wait 3-5 seconds, then start vehicle (crank for up to 3 seconds).
  6. Once vehicle starts, turn off jump starter.
  7. Remove clamps in reverse order: black first, then red.
  8. Recharge jump starter after use.

Tip: If vehicle doesn't start within 3 attempts, wait 2 minutes before retrying. Check connections.

Using as Power Bank

Can charge phones, tablets, and power 12V devices.

  1. For USB devices: Connect USB cable to port; device charges automatically.
  2. For 12V devices: Plug device into 12V DC socket (e.g., air compressor, cooler).
  3. Monitor battery level on display; unit shuts down if voltage too low.
  4. Recharge when battery drops below 20%.

WARNING! Do not exceed rated output (10A for 12V, 2.4A for USB). Unplug devices when not in use.

Maintenance & Storage

Recharge every 3 months if not used. Store in cool, dry place.

Cleaning: Use dry cloth; do not use liquids. Terminal Care: Keep clamps clean; wipe with dry cloth if corroded.

CAUTION! Do not disassemble; no user-serviceable parts inside. Dispose of properly per local regulations.
