IMPORTANT: Do not use and/or store the jump starter in or on any area or surface where damage
could occur if the internal battery should unexpectedly leak acid.
7.4 IMPORTANT:
• 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 battery will
gradually self-discharge (lose power) over time, especially in warm environments. Leaving 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.
