10.5V.
Before any operation, always check the condition of the vehicle's battery lugs and repair them if required.
Cable storage
When unused, always store the cables to prevent any risk of short -circuit.
Procedure of use

Shift the transmission into neutral.
- First, connect the red + positive clamp terminal to the positive + terminal of the vehicle to start.
- Then, connect the black - negative clamp to the – negative terminal of the vehicle to start.
