FEATURES 

 

1. Provides plenty of power for starting vehicles.  More than enough to 

start most vehicles.  May also be used in DEEP CYCLE 
applications. 

2. The KWIKSTART will power most 12 VDC accessories equipped 

with a male cigar lighter plug.  The DC outlet has automatic overload 
protection. 

3. Test switch and Multiple LED power level indicators.  State of the art 

charging circuit. 

4. ON/OFF switch.  When in the OFF position, no voltage will be 

present at the clamps, reducing the chance of arcing.  

 
 

INFORMATION TO USER 

Changes or modifications by the user, that are not expressly approved 
by the party responsible for radio frequency emmission levels from the 
KWIKSTART, could cause an undesirable amount of radio frequency 
energy to be emitted. Such action could void the user's authority to use 
the KWIKSTART. 
 

SAFETY FEATURES 

 

1. Selector switch prevents accidental sparking of clamps. 
2. Cable bracket hold the cables for clean storage.  (No unsightly 

dangling wires). 

3. The KWIKSTART  contains the latest technology with its 2 -12 volt 

sealed non-spillable batteries.  The KWIKSTART may be stored in 
any position. 

 

RECHARGING PROCEDURES 

 

When new, your KWIKSTART should be charged for a minimum of 30 
hours, unless the green High power level LED lights when the test 
button is pressed.  
 
NOTE: There are two ways to recharge the KWIKSTART.  The first 

method is automatic charging with the AC charger (preferred).  
The second is through the DC power jack through the DC 
power extension cord.  The second method is not automatic 
and requires watching because the KWIKSTART could be 
damaged due to overcharging. 

 
1. 

USING THE AC CHARGER:

  The KWIKSTART is automatically 

charged using the AC charger.  A receptacle on the KWIKSTART’s 
control panel is connected through a smart circuit board to the 
KWIKSTART making recharging automatic.  Recharging takes 
approximately 24 hours.  Overcharging is not a problem when using 
the AC charger.  The KWIKSTART’s AC charger can be left 
connected to an AC power source indefinitely. 
a. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF. 
b. Connect an AC charger to the KWIKSTART’s female plug. 
c. Plug the cord into a correctly wired AC receptacle (the red 

CHARGING LED will light). 

d. The battery will be fully charged when the red LED goes off and 

the green CHARGED LED comes on. 

e. If you are not going to need the KWIKSTART right away you may 

leave the KWIKSTART’s AC charger connected to the AC power 
source.  We recommend that the KWIKSTART’s AC charger 
remain connected to an AC power source whenever the 
KWIKSTART is not in use. 

 

2. 

USING THE DC POWER EXTENSION CORD.

  Plug one end of the 

power extension cord into the KWIKSTART power receptacle and 
the other end into a vehicle’s lighter outlet (vehicle’s engine should 
be running first).  Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON.  Push the test 
button 

once every hour

 to check the power level.  When the High 

power level LED lights the battery is charged.  DO NOT 
OVERCHARGE!  This is not an automatic method of charging the 
KWIKSTART.  Overcharging will damage your KWIKSTART. 

 
 
 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

USED AS A BATTERY CHARGER 

The KWIKSTART is intended, primarily, to be used to start or restart a 
vehicle when the battery in the vehicle has become run down to the 
point that it will not start the vehicle without assistance.  However, the 
KWIKSTART can also be used to restore some charge to the vehicle 
battery. 

 

1. Plug the power extension cord from the KWIKSTART into the 

vehicle’s cigar lighter outlet for 30 minutes. 

 
NOTE: Some vehicle’s ignition keys must be turned to accessory to 
activate the cigar light socket. 
 
2. Remove the power extension cord and start the car. 
 
NOTE: A defective battery may refuse to accept a charge from the 

KWIKSTART. 

 

USED AS AN EMERGENCY JUMP STARTER

 

NOTE: For optimum performance, do not store below 50°F when using 
as a jump starter. 
1.  Turn ignition off before making cable connections. 
2.  Use in a well ventilated area. 
3. SHIELD 

EYES. 

4.  Clamp the positive (red +) clamp to the positive terminal on the 

weak battery (for negative ground system). 

5.  Clamp the negative (black –) clamp to the vehicle frame (ground).  

Make sure the cables are not in the path of moving belts or fan. 

6.  Switch the ON/OFF switch to the ON. 
7.  Stay clear of batteries while jump starting. 
8.  Start the vehicle (turn on the vehicle ignition). 
NOTE: If the vehicle does not start within 6 seconds, let the 

KWIKSTART AC battery cool for 3 minutes before attempting 
to start the vehicle again or damage to the KWIKSTART may 
occur. 

9.  When the vehicle is started, turn the selector switch to the OFF 

position. 

10. Disconnect the negative (-) battery clamp from the vehicle frame. 
11. Disconnect the positive (+) clamp. 
12.  Return jumper cables to their stored position. 
13.  Recharge at earliest convenience. 
 

USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE POWER SUPPLY FOR 
VEHICLES

 

The KWIKSTART is an essential tool for all who replace automobile 
batteries.  Most vehicles have some type of electronic component with 
memory, such as alarm systems, computers, radios, phones, etc… 
and when the vehicle’s battery is replaced, memory is lost.  However, if 
the power extension cord is plugged from the KWIKSTART to the cigar 
lighter outlet on the vehicle, the memories can be saved. 
 
NOTE: Some vehicles may require the KWIKSTART to be connected 
to the vehicle’s OBD2 connector to save all memory functions.  The 

MS6209

 memory saver may be purchased separately for these 

applications.
