Setup
1. Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the PEAK Portable Jump Starter. Connect the provided charging cable to the jump starter's charging port and plug the other end into a suitable power source (e.g., wall adapter, car charger). The charging indicator lights will illuminate to show the charging status. A full charge typically takes several hours.
2. Checking Battery Level
Periodically check the jump starter's battery level. Most units feature indicator lights or a digital display to show the remaining charge. Ensure the unit is sufficiently charged before attempting to jump-start a vehicle.
Operating Instructions
1. Jump-Starting a Vehicle
- Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and all accessories (lights, radio) are turned off.
- Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the jump starter to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
- Connect the black negative (-) clamp of the jump starter to a clean, unpainted metal part of the vehicle's engine block or chassis, away from the battery. Do not connect directly to the negative battery terminal.
- Turn on the PEAK Portable Jump Starter.
- Attempt to start the vehicle. If it does not start immediately, wait at least 30 seconds before trying again. Do not crank the engine for more than 5 seconds per attempt.
- Once the vehicle starts, immediately disconnect the black negative (-) clamp from the vehicle chassis, then disconnect the red positive (+) clamp from the battery.
- Turn off the jump starter.
