1. Introduction
The Autophix JSC2100 is a supercapacitor car jump starter designed for safe, portable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly vehicle starting. Unlike traditional battery-based jump starters, it utilizes advanced supercapacitor technology, which offers high current fast charging and discharging, high power density, and an ultra-wide operating temperature range of -25℃ to 70℃. This batteryless design ensures a long service life and is maintenance-free.
The supercapacitor absorbs a small amount of power remaining in the car battery and quickly amplifies it, thereby generating the power needed to start the engine within a few minutes. You can release all the accumulated electricity at once to start the car quickly. Since it is not a lithium-ion battery, it does not require pre-charging as regularly and can be easily used.

6. Setup and Charging Methods
The Autophix JSC2100 does not require pre-charging like traditional battery jump starters. It charges rapidly from various sources by drawing a small amount of power, even from a nearly dead car battery, to power its supercapacitors.
6.1. Charging Methods
The device can be charged using one of the following methods:
- From a 12V Car Battery: Connect the alligator clips to your car battery. Charging takes less than 5 minutes.
- From a 12V Cigarette Lighter: Use the provided 12V 5A cigarette lighter cable. Charging takes less than 5 minutes.
- From a 6V Source: Charging takes less than 20 minutes.
- From a 5V 1A Type-C USB Source: Charging takes less than 30 minutes.

7. Operating Instructions (Jump Starting Your Vehicle)
Follow these steps to safely jump start your vehicle:
- Connect Cable: Fully insert the plug of the battery cable into the EC8 port on the jump starter.
- Attach Clamps: Fully clamp the positive (+) pole of the car battery with the red alligator clip and the negative (-) pole of the car battery with the black clip.
- Prepare Vehicle & Initiate Start:
- Turn off all electrical appliances in the car (e.g., headlights, air conditioner).
- Ensure the car is fully stopped and the emergency brake is engaged.
- Ensure the ignition key is off (or the car is completely off if using a smart key button).
- Press the 'Start' button on the jump starter.
- If prompted, press the 'Next' button.
- Wait a few seconds until the screen prompts "please start the ignition".
- Turn the ignition to the START position.
- Disconnect: Disconnect the alligator clip cable and remove the alligator clips within 30 seconds after the vehicle has successfully started.

8. Maintenance
- The supercapacitor design is maintenance-free for long-term use, eliminating the need for regular charging or battery replacement.
- Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use corrosive liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Store the device in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures, heat sources, and direct sunlight.
9. Troubleshooting
9.1. Vehicle Fails to Start
If your vehicle does not start after following the operating instructions:
- Ensure the jump starter is adequately charged from a power source (car battery, cigarette lighter, USB). The LCD display should indicate sufficient charge.
- Verify that all electrical appliances in the car are turned off to minimize load on the battery.
- Check that the alligator clamps are securely connected to the correct battery terminals (red to positive, black to negative). Loose connections can prevent proper operation.
- Ensure the ignition is off before attempting to jump start.
- Repeat the operating instructions carefully.
