Recharging with the AC Charger

Note: The Instant Jumpstart System battery level LEDs are only

accurate when the Jumpstart has been disconnected from all
appliances and all charging sources for 15 minutes.

Note: When the battery is fully charged, all four LEDs will be lit. As
charge decreases, the number of lit LEDs will decrease. When only
one LED is lit, the unit is discharged.
Note: Recharging with the AC Charger is a true “plug-in-and-forget”
charging method. We recommend leaving the AC Charger connected
when the Instant Jumpstart System is not in use.

To recharge the Instant Jumpstart System:

1. Disconnect any 12 V DC appliances and turn the light OFF.

2. Plug the AC Charger into a standard AC wall outlet.

3. Insert the AC Charger cable end into the AC Charger Input Socket
(see Features).

The Battery Status LED changes from red to green when charging is
complete (about 28 hours if the battery is completely discharged).
Important: The 28-hour ch arging time for the Jumpstart assumes that
there is 120 V AC at the AC wall outlet. If the voltage is less than 120
V AC, it may take more than 28 hours to fully recharge the Jumpstart.
If, after 28 hours of charging, the Battery Status LED remains red,
continue to charge the unit for another 12 hours. The unit will be
ready for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.
Important: If you keep the Instant Jumpstart System in storage, the
battery will self-discharge over time. Remember to recharge the
battery every month to keep the Instant Jumpstart System
operational.
Note: Once fully charged, the charging current automatically reduces
to a maintenance charge mode, and the Jumpstart may be left
permanently connected to the AC Charger.

Using the Flashlight

The Instant Jumpstart System has an incandescent flashlight which
will operate for about 30 hours before the unit needs to be recharged.
The On/Off switch is located above the light (see Features).

HEAT HAZARD.

WARNING

Do not cover the Instant Jumpstart System while the flashlight is on
with any material such as a blanket. Doing so may cause heat from
the bulb to build up and eventually melt the plastic cover.

:

Operating 12 V DC Appliances

The Instant Jumpstart System can operate as a 12 V DC power source
to portable appliances that draw 15 A or less from a 12 V DC power
outlet.

.

CAUTION

The DC Power Outlet does not automatically switch off when the
internal battery is discharged. To protect the internal battery against
damage resulting from total discharge, we recommend to unplug the
DC plug from the DC Power Outlet after use.

Note: The fewer watts a 12 V DC appliance draws, the longer the
Instant Jumpstart System will operate before recharging is required.

The table below lists typical 12 V appliances that can be used with
the Instant Jumpstart System.

performing any type of maintenance.

Maintaining the Battery

All rechargeable batteries gradually discharge when left standing, and
you need to recharge them periodically to maintain maximum battery
capacity. The AC Charger supplied with the Jumpstart 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 Jumpstart only with the supplied
charger or approved battery chargers.

CAUTION

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

ENERGY HAZARD.

:

INTERNAL BATTERY DAMAGE.

:

1. While the vehicle engine is running, plug one end of the DC
Charging Cable into the DC Power Outlet of the Instant Jumpstart
System.

2. Plug the opposite end of the DC Charging Cable into the vehicle’s
lighter socket or 12 V accessory outlet.

3. Once the Instant Jumpstart System is fully charged or if your
vehicle’s engine is not running, disconn ect the DC Char ging Cable
from both sockets. Most of the Instant Jumpstart System’s capacity
will be restored in 2 ½ hours while the vehicle engine is running.

Note: The Battery Status LED will not illuminate when the Jumpstart
is recharged through the DC Charging Cable.

Important: Do not leave the Instant Jumpstart System permanently
connected to the vehicle’s lighter socket or 12 V accessory outlet.

Recharging with a Generator’s Regulated 12 V DC
Outlet

Refer to the Owner’s Guide accompanying your generator for detailed
instructions on connecting a 12V load, like the jumpstart, to your
generator.

WARNING

The generator output must be intended for battery charging and have
an output of 15 V or less. An unregulated output or one that exceeds
15 V DC can damage the battery.
This may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to
fire and explosion hazard.

:

FIRE, EXPLOSION HAZARD.

You can recharge using a generator in several ways:

• Using the AC Charger to recharge the Jumpstart from a generator
is possible, but would require extended generator running time.

• Using a generator which has an auxiliary regulated 12 V DC
output designed for charging 12 V DC batteries. Most generators
are equipped with them. Use this power source for faster charging.

• Using a generator with a regulated 12 V DC lighter socket. Follow
the connection instructions in “Recharging Using the DC Charging
Cable”.

Recharging from a Solar Panel

Small, unregulated 12 V solar panels rated to produce a maximum of

2.5 A (or 30 W) can be used to charge the Jumpstart through the AC

Charger Input Socket. You will need to purchase a standard 5.5 mm
OD × 2.5 mm ID (0.217 × 0.10") coaxial DC (barrel type centre
positive) connector to mate with the AC Charger Input Socket. These
connectors are available at consumer electronics stores.

1. Connect the solar panel’s red positive (+) wire to the coaxial plug’s
inner or centre contact.

2. Connect the solar panel’s black negative (–) wire to the plug’s
outer contact.

Once the connector is inserted into the AC Charger Input Socket and
the solar panel is placed in the sun, the Jumpstart charges
automatically just as with the AC Charger. It takes about six hours in
direct sunlight to recharge the Jumpstart from a 2.5 A solar panel.

Replacing the Emergency Light Bulb

1. Turn the flashlight switch off.

CAUTION

INTERNAL BATTERY DAMAGE.

:

Do not attempt to recharge the Instant Jumpstart System battery if it
