BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The Jump Starter internal battery should be recharged periodically. The
manufacturer recommends at least once every 3 months when the Jump Starter
is not being used for extended periods of time. This is especially true in warm
environments. It is also a very good idea to recharge the internal battery soon
after using it to restart an engine.
WARNING Potential Battery Damage when Left Uncharged
If the Jump Starter internal battery is allowed to sit idle for long periods of time
without being recharged, the internal battery energy storage and delivery
structures, like the plates in each cell, may be permanently damaged. That
damage will dramatically reduce the performance of the battery.
WARNING Potential Internal Battery Damage when it is Frozen
If the Jump Starter internal battery ever freezes, do not attempt to recharge it.
Wait until the battery is allowed to
warm up
to at least 0 °C (32 °F), the freezing
point of water.
Note that the freezing point of battery acid is much, much lower
than the freezing point of water.
BATTERY RECYCLING
The Jump Starter is not designed to allow the internal battery to be replaced.
When the Jump Starter no longer functions adequately, take it to a battery
recycling center. Most retail stores that sell batteries will accept a unit for
recycling. DO NOT DISPOSE of the Jump Starter with common household
waste.
