8. FAQs
Q: Can my vehicle be damaged if the jump starter is
connected with reversed polarity?
A: The device has overvoltage protection and
protection against incorrect polarity. Should
you connect the terminal clamps incorrectly,
the device recognises this and interrupts the
current flow (red control LED light). (When the
Boost button is pressed, the pole terminals are
connected directly to the built-in battery, meaning
there is no longer any reverse polarity protection.
In the case of short circuit or reversed polarity
of the pole terminals, there is an acute risk of
explosion or fire!)
Q: What should I do if the vehicle still does not start?
A: Please wait at least 10 seconds between each
start attempt and restrict the start attempt to
a maximum of 5 seconds. If after three start
attempts the vehicle engine still does not run on
its own, abandon the start attempt.
It is obvious that the vehicle has a defect that
is preventing the start attempt. Please have the
vehicle checked by a specialist workshop.
Q: How many start attempts can the device perform?
A: Providing the device has been correctly charged
to 100%, up to 15 start procedures are possible.
This varies according to the operating conditions
and the size of the engine to be started.
Q: How long is the device ready for use?
A: If the device has been correctly charged to 100%,
it can be stored ready for use for up to six months
(standby time). However, it is recommended that
you charge the device every three months at the
latest, to reduce self-discharge to a minimum.
The life of the integrated battery is very much
dependent on the user application.
Q: How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
A: It takes 5 hours to charge the device (with an
empty battery) using a 5 V / 2A USB charger. Use
of a weaker charger is not recommended!
Q: How long does it take to charge a smartphone on
the device?
A: It depends very much on the size of your
smartphone's battery – usually a full charge is
possible within 2 hours.
9. Troubleshooting
After connecting the jump lead to the car battery, the
control light on the jump starter does not light up.
• Either the vehicle battery is completely discharged
or the connection to the jump starter is
interrupted.
• Press the Boost button (8) for 3 seconds until the
control light lights up green and the vehicle is
ready for a start attempt.
Charging the integrated battery takes over 10 hours.
• An incorrect charger is being used for charging.
• Please use a charger with a 5 V / 2 A charging
current.
The power button does not function
• The jump starter's deep discharge protection is
activated and the device has switched off.
• Please connect the device to a USB charger to
deactivate the protection function.
