Overview
Thank you for purchasing an EarthX’s Jump Pack. Our Jump Pack is light and compact so you can take it
anywhere and start just about everything (car, boat, motorcycle, atv, and snowmobile, small aircraft, etc.). The
EarthX Jump Pack is a rugged design for off road use featuring dust covers for all power and charge ports, plus an
“easy hold” grip. And like our ETX series batteries, it uses robust Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, while
others use cheaper Lithium Ion (Lithium Cobalt) cells.
Other features include:
-USB 5V/2.1A port to charge/power electronic devices (like iPad)
-High intensity LED flashlight
-Charge level indicator LEDs
-Reverse connection protection
-Built in electronics to protect the battery from over-discharge/over-charge
-Water-resistant carrying case
What’s included:
-Jump start power pack
-Jumper cables
-Wall charger (100-240VAC 50/60Hz)

FAQs
Despite the simplicity of operation, you may encounter situations where the Jump Pack does
not operate as expected. Here are some potential issues you may encounter with the
appropriate troubleshooting procedures.
Q.
How to turn on the USB port?
A.
The Jump Pack needs to be “turned on” for the USB port to operate. To turn on the Jump
Pack press the power on button for one second and verify the charge level indicator lights
are lit. The Jump Pack (USB port) will shut-off automatically after a few minutes of no use.
Q.
How many times can the Jump Pack charge my phone before needing to recharge the Jump
Pack (i.e. iPhone 5)?
A.
5-8 times
Q.
How many times can the Jump Pack, jump start, a vehicle before needing to be recharged?
A.
This depends on many factors like the vehicle’s battery condition, the vehicles’ required
cranking amps, and the size of the vehicle battery. For motorsports vehicles it could be
more than 20 times, whereas a car with a drained 100Ah battery maybe only 5 times.
