Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, keep the jump starter fully charged at all times. Use the included charging cable to replenish the battery every 3 to 6 months if it is not used. When jump-starting, ensure the vehicle is turned off, connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal, and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal or a grounded metal surface on the engine block. Always inspect the clamps for debris or corrosion before use to ensure a solid electrical connection. Store the device in its carrying case in a cool, dry environment, avoiding extreme temperature fluctuations to protect the lithium-ion cells.
