1.1. CHARGING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
9Familiarise yourself with the application and limitations of the charger as well as the potential hazards. Also refer to the vehicle
manufacturer’s hand book.
9Ensure the charger is in good condition before use. If in any doubt do not use the unit, contact your Sealey stockist.
9Ensure that the starter/charger is placed on a stable surface which will adequately support its weight.
9Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
9Ensure the output of the charger is the same voltage as the battery.
9Ensure that, during charging, the charger is placed in a location where there is sufficient ventilation to prevent the build up of explosive
gases from the vehicle’s lead acid battery.
9If battery has caps to access the battery fluid, remove the caps and check the fluid level. Replace caps before connecting the power
clamps.
9If necessary top-up the battery with distilled water by referring to the battery manufacturer’s instructions. If the charger receives a sharp
knock the unit must be checked by a qualified service agent before using.
9If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them before attaching the power clamps.
9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
8DO NOT try to charge a non-rechargeable battery.
8DO NOT try to charge battery if battery fluid is frozen.
8DO NOT allow power clamps to make contact with any metallic part of the vehicle.
8DO NOT cross connect power leads from charger to battery. Ensure positive (+/RED) is to positive and negative (-/BLACK) is to negative.
8DO NOT pull the cables or clamps from the battery terminals.
8DO NOT use the charger in wet locations and DO NOT operate within the vicinity of flammable liquids or gases.
8DO NOT use the charger for a task for which it is not designed.
WARNING! DO NOT simultaneously charge batteries of different capacities or discharge levels.
WARNING! If a fuse blows, ensure it is replaced with an identical fuse type and rating. Use only Sealey genuine parts.
2. INTRODUCTION
Vehicle jump starting made easy with innovative patented technology. Unlike traditional boosters, it has no internal batteries, as it uses
ultracapacitors to maximise the discharged battery’s voltage. Simply connect to the vehicle’s battery, even if discharged, and the unit will draw
enough power to energise itself in a matter of minutes. Power can then be pushed safely back through the starting system to jump start the
vehicle. If the vehicle’s battery is faulty or holding less than 5 volts, the ElectroStart® range can be pre-charged via another vehicle’s battery or
the 12V accessory lead* (excludes Model No. E/START1224). The digital display indicates battery voltage, capacitor charge and faults. Safely
store the unit without the need for battery maintenance, and no delay waiting for a battery to charge, the device is ready for use within minutes.
Can also be used as a 0.8A battery maintainer using a USB charging cable or a 2A battery charger with the addition of Model No. E/START2A
Charging Adaptor. Compact and lightweight for easier handling and storage, yet still delivers the same result as heavy, bulky, lead acid battery
equivalents. Ideal for both professional mechanics and DIY users.
