FEATURES
RAPID RECHARGE TECHNOLOGY (RRT)
The Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO
4
) battery is able to rapidly recover charge from the
vehicles alternator. Leaving the clamps connected to the vehicle battery for 40 seconds will
recharge the jumpstarter to 100%* of the original charge status. Once the jumpstarter is fully
charged the RRT will shut off avoiding overcharging.
