Product Information

Full details

The Ryobi 18V ONE+™ Jump Starter is for motorists who want a reliable, self-sufficient solution for dead car batteries. Its key benefit is the ability to jump-start a wide range of vehicles quickly, without the need for another car or external power. A primary consideration is that batteries and chargers are sold separately, requiring an existing Ryobi ONE+™ system or additional purchase.

FAQs

Does the Ryobi Jump Starter come with a battery?

No, the Ryobi 18V ONE+™ Jump Starter is a bare tool. A Ryobi ONE+™ 18V battery and charger are required and sold separately.

How long does it take to jump-start a vehicle?

The Ryobi Jump Starter can energize your vehicle's battery and prepare it for starting in as little as 60 seconds, thanks to its ultra-capacitor technology.

What types of vehicles can this jump starter be used on?

It is designed to jump-start petrol engines up to 6 litres and diesel engines up to 5 litres. This includes most cars, SUVs, vans, and some smaller trucks or tractors.

What happens if I connect the clamps incorrectly?

The jump starter features Reverse Polarity Protection, which will prevent operation if the clamps are connected incorrectly. This protects both the jump starter and your vehicle's battery from damage.

How many times can I jump-start a vehicle with one battery charge?

With a fully charged 2.0Ah Ryobi ONE+™ battery, you can expect to jump-start up to 37 cars. Using a 5.0Ah battery, you can achieve up to 25 jump starts.

Is the integrated LED work light always on?

No, the LED work light is a manual feature activated when needed to illuminate the work area. It is not continuously on and is powered by the attached ONE+™ battery.

Can I use a competitor's 18V battery with this jump starter?

No, this jump starter is specifically designed for and compatible only with Ryobi ONE+™ 18V batteries.

Troubleshooting

Jump starter does not turn on or provide power.

Ensure a charged Ryobi ONE+™ battery is correctly inserted and securely locked into the tool. Check the battery contacts for dirt or debris and clean if necessary.

Vehicle engine does not start after using the jump starter.

Verify that the Easy Start LED indicator shows a successful connection. Check the charge level of the ONE+™ battery; a very low battery may not provide enough power. Ensure the vehicle's engine is not suffering from a different mechanical issue. Try letting the jump starter charge the vehicle battery for an additional minute before attempting to start.

Reverse Polarity Protection light is on, preventing jump start.

The unit has detected an incorrect connection. Disconnect the clamps immediately and reconnect them, ensuring the red clamp is on the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp is on the negative (-) terminal. Consult your vehicle's manual if unsure.

LED work light does not illuminate.

Check the charge of the Ryobi ONE+™ battery. The LED light draws power from the same battery; if the battery is low, the light may not function.
