Misusing or incorrectly connecting the Duracell® Jump-starter may damage the equipment or create hazardous conditions for users. Read the following safety instructions and pay special attention to all Caution and Warning statements in the guide.
For general usage warnings and cautions, please see Warnings and Cautions. Please read these items carefully before using this jump-starter.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
The jump-starting clamps may spark if touched together. Always keep the clamps in their storage holsters when they are not being used.
Charging / recharging with the AC battery charger
Recharging with the AC battery charger is a true "plug-in-and-forget" charging method. We recommend leaving the AC battery charger connected when the jump-starter is not in use.
The 12-hour charging time for the jump-starter assumes that there is 120V AC at the AC wall outlet. If the voltage is less than 120V AC, it may take more than 12 hours to fully recharge the jump-starter If, after 12 hours of charging, the Battery Status LED remains red, continue to charge the unit for another 12 hours. The unit will be ready for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.
If you keep the jump-starter in storage, the battery will discharge over time. Remember to recharge the battery every three months to keep the jumpstarter operational.
Note: Once fully charged, the charging current automatically reduces to a maintenance charge mode, and the jump-starter may be left permanently connected to the AC battery charger.
To check the battery's charge level, press the Fuel Gauge button. The LED lights will illuminate and display the current level of available battery power.
When all four lights are lit, this indicates that your Jump-starter is fully charged. It is recommended to maintain a full charge on the Jump-starter at all times for optimal jump starting and device charging.
Your jump-starter will perform best when its battery is fully charged. If the LED Fuel Gauge shows less than 100% charge, it is recommended to fully recharge your battery (see Section "Charging/Recharging the Jumpstarter's Battery" above).
Note: Battery Fuel Gauge status is only accurate when the jump-starter has been disconnected from all appliances and all charging sources for 15 minutes.
To charge USB devices:
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
The DC power outlet does not automatically switch off when the internal battery is discharged. Check the battery status periodically to prevent total battery discharge.
Note: The fewer watts a 12V DC appliance draws, the longer the jumpstarter will operate before recharging is required.
To operate a 12V DC appliance:
You can use the Duracell® jump-starter with the supplied jump-start cables to jump-start a vehicle or boat engine that has a 12V starting battery.
FIRE HAZARD
Never allow jump-start cables' red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor. This could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
FIRE HAZARD
Jump-start cable clamps' connection to the vehicle's battery terminals must be positive to positive (red clamp to battery "+") and negative to engine block. A reverse polarity connection (positive to negative) may cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
FIRE HAZARD
Do not crank the engine for more than 4 seconds. The jump-start feature is designed for short term operation only. Operating the jump-start feature for more than 4 seconds may cause damage to the unit. Allow the jump-starter to cool down for at least 3 minutes after each jump-start.
If you keep the jump-starter in storage, the battery will discharge over time. Remember to recharge the battery every three months to keep the jump starter operational.
Routine maintenance is required to keep your Duracell® jump-starter operating properly. Occasionally clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth to remove the accumulated dust and dirt.
SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect all sources of AC power and DC power before performing any type of maintenance.
Due to inherent self-discharge, lead acid batteries must be charged at least every 3 months, especially in a warm environment. Leaving a battery in a discharged state, or not recharging every 3 months, may result in permanent battery damage and poor jump-starting performance.
Do not attempt to recharge the jump-starter battery if it is frozen. Gradually warm the frozen battery to 32°F (0°C) before recharging.

Please read these general usage-related warnings and cautions thoroughly before using this jump-starter.
Shock hazard. Keep away from children.
Do not insert foreign objects into the DC power socket, the USB port, or the ventilation holes. Do not expose this product to water, rain, snow, or spray. Do not open the jump-starter. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
Do not expose the jump-starter to temperatures over 40°C (104°F).
Explosion hazard
Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as in the bilge of a gasoline-powered boat, or near propane tanks. Do not use this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike the sealed AGM battery in the Jumpstarter, vent explosive hydrogen gas which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections. When working on electrical equipment, always ensure someone is nearby to help you in an emergency.
Proper application
Do not use the appliance for any application except that for which it is intended.
Heated surface
During operation, keep away from materials that may be affected by high temperatures such as blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.
Medical equipment
This product is NOT tested, designed nor intended to be used with life support systems or any other medical devices.
