Misusing or incorrectly connecting the Duracell® Jump-starter may damage the equipment or
create hazardous conditions for users.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

The jump-starting clamps may spark if touched together. Always keep the clamps in their
storage holsters when they are not being used.

3. Charging/Recharging the Jump-starter

► Charging before rst use

IMPORTANT

Prior to using the jump-starter for the rst time, ensure that the battery of the jump-starter

is fully charged. If the battery has been fully discharged, charging/recharging with the AC
battery charger may take up to 12 hours.

► Charging / recharging with the internal charger

Recharging with the internal charger is a true “plug-in-and-forget” charging method. We
recommend leaving the AC battery charger connected when the jump-starter is not in use.

1. Disconnect any USB and 12V DC appliances from the DC power outlets.

2. Remove the AC cord from the storage compartment under the unit.

3. Insert the AC cord end into the AC cord input port, then plug AC cord into a standard AC

wall outlet.

4. The fuel gauge LEDs sequence during charging and remain solid on when fully charged.

5. Recharging time should be approximately 12 hours if the jump-starter battery is fully

discharged.

4. Checking the Jump-starter’s Battery Level

To check the battery’s charge level, press the Fuel Gauge button. The LED lights will illuminate
and display the current level of available battery power. Press again to turn off (or will turn off
automatically after one minute).

When all four lights are lit, this indicates that your Jump-starter is fully charged. It is
recommended to maintain a full charge on the Jump-starter at all times for optimal jump
starting and device charging.

Note: Battery Fuel Gauge status is only accurate when the jump-starter has been

disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for 15 minutes.

5. Using The Jump-starter’s Light / Power Ports

► Using the built-in light

2. Position the jump-starter so that the light illuminates your work area.

.

3. When done, push the “HOLD FOR LIGHT” button for 2 seconds to turn the LED light off.

► Using the USB port

The USB port provides up to 2.1 Amps of power to charge cell phones, smartphones, tablets

and other devices.

To charge USB devices:

1. Connect your USB device (smartphone, tablet etc.) to the USB port using the USB cable

supplied with your device.

2. Push the “USB ON/OFF” button.

3. Charging will start and up to 2.1 Amps of current can be supplied by the port. The USB

device controls the amount of current supplied.

4. The USB port never “pushes” more than required by the devices.

5. Push the “USB ON/OFF” button again when done to turn the USB port off.

Note: USB output will turn off after one minute if not plugged into a USB device.

► Using the 12V DC power socket

The jump-starter can operate 12V DC appliances that draw 11A or less.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

The DC power outlet does not automatically switch off when the internal battery is
discharged. Check the battery status periodically to prevent total battery discharge.

To operate a 12V DC appliance:

1. Open the protective cover on the jump-starter’s DC power socket.

2. Plug the 12V DC appliance into the DC power outlet on the side of the unit, and turn the

12V DC appliance on (if required).

3. Fully recharge the jump-starter as soon as possible after each use.

4. As the DC power socket is internally wired directly to the jump-starter’s battery, extended

operation of a 12V DC appliance may result in excessive battery discharge. See

“Caution: Equipment Damage” above.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD

Never allow jump-start cables’ red and black clamps to touch each other or another
common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/
explosion hazard.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD

Jump-start cable clamps’ connection to the vehicle’s battery terminals must be positive
to positive (red clamp to battery “+”) and negative to engine block. A reverse polarity
connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/
explosion hazard.

WARNING: FIRE HAZARD

Do not crank the engine for more than 4 seconds. The jump-start feature is designed for
short term operation only. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may
cause damage to the unit. Allow the jump-starter to cool down for at least 30 seconds after
each jump-start.

► To jump-start a vehicle engine:

1. Turn OFF the vehicle or boat ignition and all accessories.

2. Engage the park or emergency brake and place the transmission in park for an

automatic or neutral for a manual.

3. If jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment and bilge of all fumes.

4. Position the jump-starter on a at, stable surface near the battery and away from all

moving parts of the engine.

5. Make sure the red the Jump-starter switch is in the OFF position then connect the red

battery’s positive terminal is usually larger in diameter than the negative terminal. In
most vehicles, the battery’s positive terminal has a red wire connected to it. (Refer to
your vehicle’s owner manual).

6. Connect the black negative (–) clamp of the cables to the negative battery terminal,
engine block, cylinder head, or other stationary heavy metal part of the motor.

7. Correct polarity must be established before proceeding. Re-check your connections
before starting your engine. If the clamps are reversed, an alarm will sound and

“CLAMPS REVERSED” LED illuminate. Disconnect the jump-start clamps from the
vehicle’s battery and redo steps 5 and 6 in this procedure.

8. Before starting the engine, make sure the jump-starter and the cables are clear of belts

and fans.

9. Turn the jump-starter switch to the ON position and turn over the engine for 4 seconds or

until it starts, whichever is rst.

10. Turn the jump-starter switch to the OFF position and remove the red positive (+) clamp
and then the black negative (–) clamp from the vehicle.

7. Maintenance

Routine maintenance is required to keep your Duracell® jump-starter operating properly.
Occasionally clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to remove the accumulated dust
and dirt.

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect all sources of AC power and DC power before performing any type of
maintenance.

► Battery maintenance

All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left standing, and you need to recharge
them periodically to maintain maximum battery capacity. The internal AC battery charger
supplied with the jump-starter is designed to regulate the charging process, ensuring that
the battery is always fully charged but never overcharged. To ensure safe recharging and
maximum battery life, recharge the jump-starter only with the supplied charger.

CAUTION

Due to inherent self-discharge, lead acid batteries must be charged at least every 3
months, especially in a warm environment. Leaving a battery in a discharged state, or not
recharging every 3 months, may result in permanent battery damage and poor jump­starting performance.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to recharge the jump-starter battery if it is frozen. Gradually warm the
frozen battery to 32 °F (0 °C) before recharging.

8. Using the air compressor

IMPORTANT: Please read these general usage-related warnings and
cautions thoroughly before using the Jump-starter’s air compressor.

Fire Safety

The compressor is designed for short term operation only. Operating the compressor over an

extended period of time will cause the compressor unit to overheat which could lead to re.
The powerpack cannot be used to inate large capacity inatables such as oat tubes, large
air mattresses, and inatable boats. These types of products require extended inating times

that may damage the compressor.
Always allow the compressor to cool down for 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous
operation.

Personal Safety

Never leave the compressor unattended while in operation. Keep out of reach of children.

The compressor is capable of inating to 160 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended pressure
of either the compressor or the object being inated. If either recommended pressure is

exceeded, an explosion
may result.
If the pressure gauge on the compressor indicates more than twice the recommended

pressure for the object you are inating, and you have only started to inate the object, the

valve connector is incorrectly connected to the valve stem. This may damage the Jump-starter.
Remove and reattach the valve connector to the valve stem.
