General Information
Operational and Safety Design Features
The RA3800 jump start provides enough power to start most vehicles and:
1.
Is designed for 12/24V
2.
Contains 2 x 500CCA batteries
3.
Supplies 1000/500 CCA
4.
Connects to the battery with 50mm² boost cable with copper jaws
5.
For optimum performance, do not store below 10ºC when using as a jump starter
Alternative Power Supply
Most vehicles have electronic components - alarm systems, radios, etc whose memory can be lost when
the battery is disconnected. The jump start is a useful tool when replacing a battery - connect the jump
start clamps to the vehicle battery cables / terminals BEFORE disconnecting them from the battery posts.
Vehicle remains powered from the jump start.
•
Use only as emergency power.
•
Batteries are not intended for cyclic applications - battery life is reduced
•
Discharging below 12.2 / 24.4 volts can damage the internal batteries
Multi Purpose Power Source
1.
The jump start can power most equipment incorporating a 12 volt DC male adapter. The jump start
DC outlet has overload protection. DC power is generated only through the DC outlet
2.
Used with an inverter, the jump start can operate appliances normally powered by 240 VAC.
3.
A maximum 150 Watt inverter is recommended because the RA3800 DC 12 VOLT socket is powered
from the 2 batteries fitted.

Surge Protection fitted to the RA3800 protects against surges and spikes. When the clamps are
correctly connected, the Antizap Surge Protection LED illuminates - indicating the entire circuit is
protected.
STOP IMMEDIATELY if the REVERSE CONNECTION and WARNING LED sounds / lights - the
clamps are connected in reverse. Remove the clamps and reconnect correctly.
•
Risk of Short Circuit.
•
The REVERSE polarity LED and buzzer only provides an indication of a short circuit
if the RA3800 is switched OFF.
Ignoring these warnings and switching the RA3800 ON or,
Switching the RA3800 ON and then connecting incorrectly could result in:
•
Personal injury to people in the vicinity,
