5. Charging the PowerBoost

Before first use, fully charge the PowerBoost. It is recommended to keep the device charged above 50% for optimal performance and battery longevity.

1. Locate the USB-C input port on the PowerBoost.
2. Connect the provided USB-C to USB-C cable to the PowerBoost's USB-C input port.
3. Connect the other end of the USB-C cable to a compatible USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger (e.g., a 60W USB-C charger, not included).
4. The OLED display will indicate the charging status and battery level.
5. A full charge from 0% to 100% typically takes approximately 80 minutes with a 60W PD charger.

Note: The PowerBoost can also be used to charge a 12V vehicle battery overnight using its charging mode, provided you have a suitable 60W power supply.

6. Jump Starting a Vehicle

Follow these steps carefully to safely jump-start your vehicle. Ensure the PowerBoost is sufficiently charged.

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Turn off the vehicle's ignition and all accessories (lights, radio, air conditioning). Engage the parking brake.
2. Connect Jumper Cables:
   • Connect the red positive (+) clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
   • Connect the black negative (-) clamp to the negative (-) terminal of the vehicle's battery.
   • Ensure a secure connection.
3. Connect to PowerBoost: Insert the EC5 connector of the jumper cables into the jump-start port on the PowerBoost. The device will automatically detect the battery and display "READY" if the voltage is sufficient (above 5V).
4. Start the Vehicle: Once "READY" is displayed, start your vehicle's engine. If the engine does not start immediately, wait at least 30 seconds before attempting again. Do not crank for more than 3 seconds per attempt.
5. Disconnect: Once the vehicle starts, immediately disconnect the jumper cables from the PowerBoost, then disconnect the black negative (-) clamp from the vehicle battery, followed by the red positive (+) clamp.

Manual Override (Boost Function for Deeply Discharged Batteries):

If the vehicle battery is deeply discharged (below 5V), the PowerBoost may display a warning and not enter "READY" mode automatically. In such cases, a manual override function can be used at your own risk.

1. Connect the jumper cables to the vehicle battery as described above.
2. Connect the EC5 connector to the PowerBoost.
3. Press and hold the Power button and the Flashlight button simultaneously for 3 seconds. The display will show "MANUAL MODE" or "AWARE MODE".
4. Immediately attempt to start the vehicle within 30 seconds. The PowerBoost will discharge rapidly and heat up in this mode.
5. If an overheating warning (visual and audible) occurs, immediately disconnect the clamps. Allow the device to cool for at least 15 minutes before any further attempts.
6. Disconnect the cables as soon as the vehicle starts.
