F.A.Q.:
How long will the device hold charge for?
As the device doesn’t contain any batteries and uses Super Capacitors to hold charge, the
capacitors will slowly discharge over time. Once fully charged, the device can hold charge up to a
few days before it requires charging. For best performance, please ensure the unit is fully charged
to 13.8V before using.
How many times can a fully charged unit start my vehicle?
This device is designed for a single start only. To start a vehicle, it will drain nearly all power stored
in the device so it will need to be recharged before attempting to start another vehicle.
What if my vehicle doesn’t start after several attempts?
In some cases your vehicles battery might be too damaged to jump start (internal short
or severely sulphated). In this case you may bypass the vehicles battery if safe to do so by
disconnecting the vehicles negative battery terminal lead and then connect the device if Ready
To Use by connecting the Red Positive (+) Clamp first directly to the Positive battery post/
terminal and then the Black Negative (-) Clamp directly to the Negative wire/terminal which was
disconnected from the battery.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When bypassing the battery, there will
be no Short Circuit Protection. You’ll also need to press and Hold the RUN button for 3
seconds to enter bypass mode.
Note: Please consult your vehicles handbook before disconnecting the battery.
