• Storage: When not in use, store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the charger or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Cable Management: Ensure charging cables are not kinked or excessively bent to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• No Power:
  • Ensure the car's engine is running or the ignition is in the accessory position.
