AUXILIARY STARTER BATTERY
• The auxiliary starter has a built-in, maintenance-free, sealed, rechargeable lead acid battery.
• The auxiliary starter is partially charged on delivery, but must be charged for at least 38 hours
before first use, even if the indicator light shows a fully charged battery. Otherwise the battery
could be permanently damaged.
• Do not charge the auxiliary starter for more than 48 hours. Only use the adapters supplied for charging.
• Ensure that the battery is always charged, so it is ready for use when needed. The battery will not be
damaged by being charged often. Charge the battery as soon as possible after use, and it will last
longer. The battery lifetime will be shortened if it is discharged a lot and often without being recharged.
• Do not allow the auxiliary starter battery to remain discharged for long periods, as this can
destroy the battery. Lead acid batteries discharge by themselves over time, particularly at
extreme temperatures.
• Store in a dry and cool place. The battery should be maintenance charged at 2–3 month intervals
if it is not used – more often if it is stored in a very hot or very cold place – to keep it in the best
condition.
• NOTE: Do not use any of the functions of the auxiliary starter while charging is in progress.
Charge the auxiliary starter battery via a 230 V mains outlet.
• Connect the 230 V charger to a mains outlet and to the charging connection on the auxiliary
starter. The charging indicator light will come on.
• It takes 34–36 hours to charge the battery fully, depending on the charge level.
Charge the auxiliary starter battery via a 12 V outlet.
• Connect the cable for 12 V charging to the vehicle’s 12 V outlet and to the 12 V charging
connection on the auxiliary starter unit.
• It takes 14–16 hours to charge the battery fully, depending on the charge level.
• NOTE: On some vehicles, the ignition must be switched on for the 12 V outlet to be live.
BATTERY CONTROL
• Press the battery control button to see the charge level in the built-in battery in the
auxiliary starter.
• The indicator lights come on to show the battery charge level. The indicator lights go off
when you release the button.
• Disconnect the charging adapter from the battery to get a correct indication.
