The jumpstarter will automatically stop charging and the jumpstarter will initiate maintenance charge mode keeping the battery fully charged and ready for use without the risk of overcharging.

Charging time: 15 hours if the battery is completely flat.

WHEN TO CHARGE

Your jumpstarter is shipped fully charged, however, an extended period of time may

elapse in shipment or storage before the jumpstarter is purchased. Therefore you should charge the jumpstarter before using it for the first time. It is recommended to charge fully after each use. If the jumpstarter is not being used, it is recommended to leave the jumpstarter permanently on charge ensuring the battery is always maintained fully charged and ready for use.

CHARGING WITH 12V DC

Your Jumpstarter can be recharged from a 12V DC socket. A single-ended accessory

plug and lead is included for recharging while driving.

1. To charge, rotate the switch on the back of the unit to ON AND CHARGING (HP2012) and 12V AND CHARGING (HP2200).

2. Connect the 12V charging lead to your vehicles cigarette lighter socket and to the jumpstarter’s charging socket.

3. Start the car. The vehicle’s alternator will charge both the jumpstarter and the vehicle battery at the same time. The CHARGING LED will illuminate blue while charging and the FULL LED will illuminate solid green when fully charged. The jumpstarter’s charge control will automatically stop charging and initiate maintenance mode keeping the battery fully charged and ready for use without risk of overcharging. Once the vehicle is turned off the jumpstarter will stop charging.

Note: Appliances can be run from the jumpstarter during DC charging, for example

a fridge or light.

L.E.D CHARGE INDICATORS

Your jumpstarter unit features two coloured L.E.D’s that illuminate various signals to

indicate different stages of charging.

L.E.D L.E.D SIGNAL & STAGES OF CHARGING

Charged Off Flashing Flashing Flashing Solid On

(Green) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ––––––

5 STAGES OF CHARGING:

BULK (CONSTANT CURRENT)

The bulk stage reduces charging time by charging the battery at the maximum rate

(constant current) to a set voltage, at which point the battery is approximately 80% charged.

ABSORPTION (CONSTANT VOLTAGE)

The absorption stage charges the battery to 100% by adjusting the charge rate

allowing the battery to absorb more power.

ANALYSIS

The analysis mode tests the battery to ensure that it has taken the charge; if the

battery passes the test the charger will proceed to the float stage, but if the battery fails the test, the charger will apply a recondition charge to try to return the battery to full charge.

RECONDITION

If after charging, the battery is unable to hold the charge the battery reconditioning

function is initiated automatically. This is most likely to take place on batteries that have been deeply discharged, prior to charging.

FLOAT

The float stage maintains the battery at 100% charge without overcharging or

damaging the battery. This means the charger can be left connected to the battery indefinitely.

USING THE PROJECTA HP2012/HP2200 JUMPSTARTER AS A POWER SUPPLY

These jumpstarter’s utilise 2 x 22Ah AGM batteries and can be used as a power supply

by connecting a cigarette lighter or accessory plug into the 12V DC socket at the front of the jumpstarter. It is recommended to check the battery capacity before running accessories.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. How do I work out how long my appliance will run from the Jumpstarter

A. When the jumpstarter is fully charged the battery will be able to provide 44 Amp hours

of 12V power. If you have an appliance that uses 2.5 Amps and you use it for one hour, you have just used 2.5 Amp hours.

For example:-

The jumpstarter is powered by 2 x 22Ah (44Ah) batteries and you are powering a small TV drawing approximately 2.5 Amps

Equation: 44 Amp hours ÷ 2.5 Amps = 17.6 Hours (18 hours)

Q. How can I improve the charging time when charging from my vehicle?

A. Disconnect any appliances connected to the jumpstarter. Car cigarette lighter sockets

are usually connected to the battery with small (light) cable. If your jumpstarter is taking longer than 11–13 hours to recharge, the cable between the vehicle’s battery and cigarette lighter socket may require upgrading.
