last step, disconnect the red (positive) cable clamp.
7.2 Jump-Starting via a Vehicle’s Lighter Plug
Socket
The following simple procedure is often sufficient to start a vehicle
when its battery is not completely dead.
1. Connect your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket to the
PowerPAC’s DC Power Socket using the DC Charge Cable.
You may need to switch the ignition key to the “accessory”
position to energize the cigarette lighter plug.
2. Wait 15 minutes while the PowerPAC partially charges your
vehicle’s battery, then attempt to start the engine.
3. Once the engine starts, leave the PowerPAC connected for
at least 5 minutes to recharge its battery.
4. If your engine does not start, attempt to jump-start as
described in Section 7.1.
