WHEN TO CHARGE
To prolong the life of your jumpstarter battery it is recommended to charge the jumpstarter
after each use. If the jumpstarter is not being used, it is recommended to leave the
jumpstarter permanently on charge ensuring the battery is always maintained fully charged
and ready for use. It is recommended to charge the jumpstarter before the first use as the
jumpstarter is shipped only partially charged.
