WARNING:

Always disconnect the engine or frame jumper clamp first; followed by the battery
jumper clamp.

There is a risk of explosive gases being released when batteries are charged or
discharged. Failure to follow instructions may cause property damage, explo-
sive hazard, and/or personal injury.

CHARGING/RECHARGING

For maximum battery life, we recommend the Jump ‘n Charge be kept fully charged

at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, 

battery life will be shortened. 

NOTE: 

Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent 
discharges between recharges will reduce battery life.

1. Use a common household extension cord to connect to 110/120 volts AC out-

let. 

2. Press ON/OFF pushbutton to turn the unit on.
3. Select 2/4/ or 6 amp charge rate.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure all switches are turned off during recharging

• 

Recharge unit fully after each use

WARNING: 

Do not recharge for more than 3-4 hours maximum using 12 volt
DC method

OPERATION FOR DC CHARGING

1. Insert one end of the DC/DC charging adapter into the 12 volt DC accessory out-

let on the vehicle or boat. 

2. Insert the plug at the other end of this charging adapter into recharging port on

the front panel of the unit. 

3. When charging is completed, remove the power cord and store in a safe place.

DC/DC CHARGER/ADAPTER

This recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging
from a 110/120 volt AC outlet. The 12 volt DC recharging procedure is 
recommended only when it is necessary, as continued use of the 12 volt DC
recharging procedure may shorten the battery’s system life.
If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for recharging be
left running while the unit is being charged via the 12 volt DC method.
