Batteries release explosive gases during normal operation, charging and while
jumpstarting a battery. Before using this Jumpstarter, read and follow the instructions
carefully. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions and warnings on the vehicle’s battery
and other equipment being used.
• Jumpstart 12V lead-acid batteries only. Do not use to jumpstart dry-cell batteries
commonly found in household appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury
and/or property damage.
• Do not smoke, use matches, use a cigarette lighter, or allow a spark or flame near the

5. Ensure the vehicle being jumpstarted does not require a clamp output greater than
290 Amps (LS950) or 400 Amps (IS1250) in order to jumpstart the vehicle.
Q. Can I leave my Jumpstarter connected to the car after it has started?
A. Leaving the Jumpstarter connected to the car after it has started will not be a problem
but it is best to disconnect and charge the Jumpstarter so it is ready to start another
car. As the Jumpstarter will not be receiving charge in this situation and it is best to
pack the Jumpstarter away so it will not fall in the engine area.
Q. How often should I charge my Jumpstarter?
A. The Jumpstarter uses Lithium technology which self discharges only a very small
amount.
To be safe the Jumpstarter should be charged at least every year to be sure it is ready
in case of an emergency.
Q. What is Peak Amps?
