3. Setup
Follow these steps to properly set up your UpBright AC/DC Adapter for charging:
- Inspect the Adapter: Before first use, visually inspect the adapter and its cable for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Connect to Jump Starter: Locate the charging input port on your EverStart Maxx Jump Starter. Insert the DC output plug of the UpBright adapter firmly into this port.
- Connect to Power Outlet: Plug the AC input prongs of the adapter into a standard 100-240VAC wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is easily accessible.

4. Operating Instructions
Once the adapter is properly connected, it will begin charging your EverStart Maxx Jump Starter. The adapter provides a stable power supply for efficient battery charging.
- Charging Time: Refer to your EverStart Maxx Jump Starter's instruction manual for estimated charging times. The UpBright adapter delivers the necessary power for optimal charging.
- Overcharge Protection: The adapter features Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Over Current Protection (OCP), and Short Circuit Protection (SCP) to safeguard your device during charging.
- Disconnection: Once the jump starter is fully charged, or if you need to stop charging, first unplug the adapter from the wall outlet, then disconnect the DC plug from the jump starter.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your AC/DC adapter.
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the adapter clean. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use. Coil the cable loosely to prevent kinks or damage.
- Cable Care: Avoid bending or crimping the power cable excessively, especially near the connectors, as this can lead to internal wire damage.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your UpBright AC/DC Adapter, consider the following:
- No Charging Indication:
- Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into both the wall outlet and the jump starter.
- Verify the wall outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
- Check for any visible damage to the adapter or cable.
- Adapter Feels Warm: It is normal for the adapter to feel slightly warm during operation. If it becomes excessively hot or emits a burning smell, immediately unplug it and discontinue use.
- Jump Starter Not Holding Charge: If the jump starter does not hold a charge after using the adapter, the issue may lie with the jump starter's battery, not the adapter. Consult your jump starter's manual or a qualified technician.
