are equipped with a 12v accessory plug. the DC accessory outlet has
a 15-amp automatic overload protection circuit breaker. the breaker will
automatically reset after an overload occurs.

jump Starter.
•
plug the 12v DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12v DC
device "On" (if required).
•
If the 12v DC device draws more than 15a, the internal circuit breaker
of the jump Starter will stop powering the device. If this occurs, unplug
the device and the circuit breaker will automatically reset after several
