FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Why does my PJ-IS2000-2 take so long to charge on the dock?
A. Lower charging rate extends the battery life. The built-in charging circuit
provides gentle 2-stage charge with cell-balancing for the internal Lithium Iron
Phosphate (LiFeP04) battery.
Q. Can the PJ-IS2000-2 jump start vehicles at temperature lower than 32°F (0°C)?
A. If the PJ-IS2000-2 operates at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), its jump start
rated performance will be reduced but it will start vehicles with lower clamp
output requirements.
TIP Turn on the flood lights to warm up the jump starter at the expense of
battery charge.
Q. Why didn't my PJ-IS2000-2 start my vehicle?
A. There could be a number of reasons why the PJ-IS2000-2 did not start your
vehicle. Check the following:
• Ensure you have firm clamp connection to battery posts and the battery
posts are clean from grease and dust build-up.
• Ensure the PJ-IS2000-2 is fully charged. Press the POWER (
check the battery state of charge.
• Ensure you have followed the correct operating procedure. Refer to page

7 JUMP STARTING INSTRUCTIONS.

• Ensure the vehicle operates at 12V DC or 24V DC.
• If the ambient temperature is low < 59°F (<15˚C), the jump starter
performance will be reduced. Repeat the jump start routine 1–3 times as
the battery performance will improve with each concurrent jump start.
• Ensure the vehicle being jump started does not require a clamp output of
greater than 750A for 12V DC batteries and 500A for 24V DC batteries in
order to jump start the vehicle.
Q. What is Peak Amps?
A. Peak amps is the maximum current the battery in the PJ-IS2000-2 can produce.
Q. What is Clamp Power?
A. Clamp power is the maximum current available at the clamps.
