Charging the Jump-Starter

Charging times: Partially discharged (or after using jump-starter) – 30-60 minutes; fully discharged jump-starter battery – up to 4 hours

Charging with the included DC charger:

Disconnect any cables from the Jump-starter and USB ports.
Plug the DC charger into a 12V vehicle socket and connect your USB cable (not included) to the ‘IN’ port.
It is best to have the vehicle started during charging.

Charging with an AC charger (not included):

Disconnect any cables from the Jump-starter and USB ports.
Plug the USB cable (included) into your USB wall charger (not included).
For safety we recommended using a certified USB wall charger bearing UL, TUV, CSA or ETL logo.
Charging will only take 30 to 60 mins. after jump-starting or partial use. If completely empty a full re-charge may take up to 4 hours.

IMPORTANT

If you keep the Jump-starter in storage, the battery will discharge over time. Remember to recharge the battery after every use to make sure it is ready when you need it, and at least once a year. Re-charging more often will not harm the Jump-starter.

4. Checking the Jump-starter’s battery level

To check the battery’s charge level, press the power button on the Jump-starter. The LED lights will illuminate and display the current level of available battery power.

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.

IMPORTANT

Your Jump-starter will perform best when its battery Is fully charged. If the LED Fuel Gauge shows less than 100% charge, it is recommended to fully recharge your battery (see Section 3: “Charging the Jump-starter” above).

6. Jump-starting a vehicle

You can use the DURACELL® Jump-starter with the supplied jump-start cable to jump-start a vehicle or boat engine that has a 12V starting battery.

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:

Turn OFF the vehicle or boat ignition and all accessories.
Engage the park or emergency brake and place the transmission in park for an automatic or neutral for a manual.
If jump-starting a boat engine, purge the engine compartment and bilge of all fumes.
Position the jump-starter on a flat, stable surface near the battery and away from all moving parts of the engine. Make sure the battery terminals or other attachment points are clear of dirt and grease to allow proper electrical contact.
Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the cables to the positive (+) terminal of the engine battery. The 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).
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.
After a good connection the SafeJump™ feature will automatically verify polarity, voltage of vehicle and jump-starter, cell and circuit temperatures before displaying the green light to start the vehicle. See LED Status section for error conditions that may arise and corresponding suggestions.
Before starting the engine, make sure the jump-starter and the cables are clear of belts and fans then crank for no more than 4 seconds each time with 30 seconds of rest in between starts.
