Q. After jump starting, can I leave the unit hooked to the battery to recharge the
Jump-N-Carry
while the engine is running?
A. No. Attempting to recharge the
Jump-N-Carry
by this method is not
recommended. Vehicle alternators output anywhere from 25-125 amps. This
charging rate greatly exceeds the recommended recharging rate for
Jump-N-Carry
. Charging by this method will result in overcharging the
Jump-N-Carry
battery, and may void the product warranty.
Q. What accessories can be used in the optional 12 volt outlet?
A. Any accessory up to 12 amps can be powered by the
Jump-N-Carry
. This unit
is equipped with an automatic reset circuit breaker, should the current exceed
12 amps. At the same time, this limits any recharge current through the 12-volt
outlet to 12 amps. One can power almost any 12-volt tool or accessory (examples:
impact wrenches, fans, radios, cellular phones, navigation equipment, camcorders,
emergency power, trolling motors, coolers, small refrigerators, etc.).
Q. Can the
Jump-N-Carry
battery be replaced?
A. Yes, call Technical Service at (913) 310-1050 (U.S.).
Q. Can the
Jump-N-Carry
be recycled?
A. Yes, the environment was one of our main concerns in the development and
design of the
Jump-N-Carry
. Most battery outlets can dispose of this product at
its life’s end. In fact, your
Jump-N-Carry
contains a sealed, non-spillable lead acid
battery and
proper disposal is required by law
. See
Battery Removal and Disposal
Instructions.
Q. I have a regular 10 amp battery charger, can I use it to recharge the
Jump-N-Carry
?
A. No, only the method reviewed in the “Recharging” section should be used.
Q. Is the
Jump-N-Carry
goof proof?
A. No, jump starting instructions must be followed. Read and understand all safety
and operating instructions in this manual and those found in the owner’s manual of
any vehicle being jump started before using your
Jump-N-Carry
.
Storage
The
Jump-N-Carry
may be stored virtually anywhere, and in any position. However,
take precautions to ensure that the positive and negative clamps do not come into
contact with each other or a common metal surface. We recommend storing the
Jump-N-Carry
in the box in which it was originally received. Always be sure to re-wrap
cables and re-holster clamps after each use and prior to storage. Always store the unit
with the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
Testing The Battery
After fully charging the battery (see “Recharging” section), apply a 100 amp load to the
unit for a period of 6 seconds, while monitoring the battery voltage. The battery is good
if the voltage is 9.5 Vdc or higher.
