THE PROBLEM
One or two lights come on, you plug in the charger for 20 hours
and there is no change in status of lights.
Charger works well but still no change in status of lights.
No lights comes on, but when the AC adaptor is plugged into the
Roadstart, all the lights come on.
Roadstart is fully charged but has no power.
When using an accessory through the cigarette lighter outlet on the
power pack, clicking is heard coming from inside the pack.
THE SOLUTION
Check charger to see if it is charging. Charger should be warm.
Check all wire connections.
Possible defective battery or faulty breaker. Try a 12 volt device
(such as a light) fitted with a lighter plug to see if it works. Should
it work, Roadstart breaker is OK and the battery is the problem.
The internal battery of the Roadstart needs to be replaced
Check where the wire meets the jaw on the Roadstart pincer. Make
sure they are well crimped.
Accessory is drawing more than 12 amps causing circuit breaker to
cycle on and off. Check accessory for problem (i.e. short circuit).
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
QUESTION:
How many jump starts can a fully charged
Roadstart do before needing to be recharged?
Can the Roadstart be recycled?
What is the ideal in-use storage temperature
of the Roadstart?
I have a regular 10 amp battery charger, can I use
it to recharge the Roadstart?
Is the Roadstart fool proof?
Can I replace the power packs battery?
ANSWER:
Between 1 and 20 depending upon operating factors such as temperature, general
condition of the vehicle, engine type and size.
Yes, in accordance with local authority regulations.
Room temperature. The Roadstart will also operate at temperature below zero,
its power however will be lessened. Intense heat will activate self discharge.
NO, only the supplied adaptor and charger can be used.
No. All jump starting instructions must be followed carefully.
Yes, but note: the battery is not covered by warranty as it is a consumable item.
