To jump start the vehicle battery, proceed as follows:
Jumper cables are color coded, RED for POSITIVE (+)
and BLACK for NEGATIVE (-). DO NOT mix up the cables
or allow the metal ends to touch together because this
may damage the battery, charging system and/or
electronics on a vehicle.
1. Press power button on the power bank once and check that the power
level indicator is 3 lights or higher. Do not connect the jumper cables to
the power bank at this time.
2. Clamp the RED jumper cable to the POSITIVE (+)post on the dead battery.
The POSITIVE battery post will be slightly larger than the NEGATIVE post,
and will be marked with a PLUS (+) sign. There may also be a RED plastic
protective cover over the positive battery post.
3. Clamp the BLACK jumper cable to
the NEGATIVE (-) post on the dead battery.
The NEGATIVE will be marked with a
MINUS (-) sign. There may also be a
BLACK plastic protective cover over
the negative battery post.
NOTE: Do not connect the red clamp (+) and the black clamp (-) at the same time.
NOTE: On some vehicles the battery is not easily accessible (because it is
located inside a fender panel, trunk, etc.), so there may be special jumper
connections in the engine compartment for jump starting the vehicle.
Reference your vehicle user manual for details.
CAUTION: DO NOT lean directly over the battery while making jumper
connections.
4. Take the BLUE end of the jumper cable and plug it into
the power bank jump start socket which is located
underneath the black cover.
5. The power bank will automatically power on.
6. Now you can start the vehicle. If it does not crank or cranks
very slowly, wiggle the jumper connections to make sure they are
making good contact. Then try again. The engine should start if there
are no other problems (such as a bad starter or ignition circuit problem).
Do not attempt to jump start the vehicle more than 3 times from the Power
Bank. If the vehicle fails to start then it is likely that there is an alternative reason.
7. As soon as the engine starts, disconnect both jumper cables within 30
seconds. First remove the RED/POSTIVE end and then the BLACK/NEGATIVE
clamp. Do not allow the metal ends of the jumper cables to touch each
other or the RED cables to touch anything metal on the car.
•
You can also unplug the BLUE end of the jumper cable from the power bank.
Now you can safely remove the RED and BLACK jumper cable clamps from
the vehicle battery. In 10 seconds the power bank will power off automatically.
8. Keep the engine running 20 to 30 minutes, or drive the car to recharge
the battery.
NOTE: If the engine dies shortly after it has been jump started, or as soon
as the jumper cables are disconnected, it probably means the vehicle
charging system is not working (bad alternator, voltage regulator, wiring
problem or loose/dirty battery cables). Please seek professional help.

eyes), and gloves when handling a battery (to protect your hands).
