This document outlines the operation and maintenance of a portable, hand-held jump starter pack device designed to provide adequate starting power for vehicles with discharged or dead batteries. The device has been extensively tested on a variety of import and domestic manufactured vehicles, categorized by vehicle classification (Sub-compact, Compact, Mid-sized & Large sized Passenger car, SUV and Light-duty through Heavy-duty Truck), engine starter amp rating/capacity, and engine liter size.
The primary function of the jump starter pack device is to provide a temporary power boost to a vehicle's battery, enabling the engine to start when the battery is too low to do so on its own. It is a portable solution for emergency starting situations. The device is equipped with "Smart Clamps" that connect to the vehicle's battery terminals. These clamps feature an indicator light and a manual activation button, which are crucial for safe and effective operation.
Before using the device, it is essential to ensure it is fully charged. To activate the device, press and release the power button located on its side. Once activated, confirm the power indicator levels (number of bars or dots) to determine the remaining charge status. If the power bar levels are low, the device should be recharged to a full charge before use.
The jump starter pack device connects to the vehicle's battery via its Smart Clamps. The EC5 connector on the Smart Clamps plugs into the EC5 port on the end of the jump starter unit. Typically, the vehicle's battery is located in the engine compartment. However, some vehicle manufacturers place batteries in the boot/trunk, under the seat, or in the front fender wheel-well areas. Users should verify the vehicle's specifications for the correct battery location for proper jump-starting.
Once the Smart Clamps are connected to the jump starter pack, the red battery clamp should be connected to the positive (+) battery terminal of the vehicle, and the black battery clamp should be connected to the negative (-) cable grounded to the vehicle's chassis, or to a negative (-) ground lug or chassis ground of the vehicle.
A critical safety feature is the indicator light on the safety box of the Smart Clamps. When correctly connected, this light will be illuminated and not flashing. If the indicator light is flashing, it signifies an incorrect connection or a need for manual activation. In such cases, the user must locate the Manual Activation Button on the side of the Smart Clamp Safety Box. Press and hold this button for 1 to 3 seconds, then release it. The indicator light should then become illuminated and stop flashing. This procedure may need to be repeated before each jump start attempt if the light continues to flash.
After ensuring all connections are correct and the indicator light is solid, attempt to start the vehicle. If the vehicle starts and runs under its own power, proceed to disconnect the device. If the vehicle does not start or requires an additional jump start attempt, a recovery period is necessary. Allow a one-minute time period to pass before attempting to use the device for another vehicle jump start to ensure proper jump starter pack device recovery. The device, when fully charged, can provide up to 20 repeated jump-start attempts.
For the long-term life and durability of the jump starter pack device, it should be fully charged prior to use. Supplemental maintenance charging should be provided to keep the jump starter pack device in full functioning order, especially when unexpected supplemental vehicle battery boosting is needed. It is recommended to review, understand, maintain, and use the jump starter pack device in accordance with the manufacturer's operation instructions and specifications.
Before boosting, it is crucial to check for loose or poorly fitting post and terminal connections on the vehicle's battery. It is recommended that the battery posts and terminals are clean, corrosion-free, and tightened. Tools that may be needed for this include a battery terminal cleaning tool (brush or sand paper), a size-appropriate wrench and/or socket (with corresponding extension and ratchet), baking soda or battery acid cleaner (spray), hand cleaner, moist towelettes, shop towels, and/or rags.
The manual emphasizes the importance of using appropriate safety items when jump starting any discharged battery. Eye protection is required, and rubber gloves (for acid protection) are recommended.
Several precautions are highlighted:
Once the vehicle has started and is running under its own power, safely disconnect the jump-starter pack device. First, disconnect the red (+) positive battery terminal clamp, and then disconnect the black (-) negative ground battery clamp from the running vehicle's battery port/post/or plug terminal.
