6.  CHARGING THE JUMP STARTER

IMPORTANT! CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, 

AFTER EACH USE AND EVERY 30 DAYS, OR WHEN THE 

CHARGE LEVEL FALLS BELOW 85%, TO KEEP THE INTERNAL 

BATTERY FULLY CHARGED AND PROLONG BATTERY LIFE. 

6.1  CHECKING THE LEVEL OF THE INTERNAL BATTERY

1.  Slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The LCD display will show 

the battery’s percentage of charge. A fully charged internal battery will read 

100%. Charge the internal battery if the display shows it is under 85%.

2.  To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the unit’s charging cable from 

a USB or wall charger before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. 

Simply turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.

3.  When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do 

not restrict the ventilation in any way.

6.2  CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY

NOTE: Use a 2A USB charger (sold separately), or a USB charging 

port to quickly recharge the jump starter. Using a charger with less 

than 2A will increase charge time. 

1.  Plug the Micro USB end of the charging cable into the input port. Next, 

plug the USB end of the charging cable into a charger’s USB port. 

2.  Plug your charger into a live AC or DC power outlet.

3.  The LCD display will light, the digit begins to flash and show “IN”, indicating 

that charging has begun.
