• CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE
• KEEP FULLY CHARGED
Charge the jump starter's internal battery immediately after purchase, after every use and every 30 days.
All batteries are affected by temperature. The ideal storage temperature is at 70°F. The internal

the battery in a discharged state may result in permanent battery damage. To ensure satisfactory
performance and avoid permanent damage, charge the internal battery every month.
