FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Why does my IS3000/IS5000 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
(LiFePO ) battery.

Q. Can the IS3000/IS5000 jump start vehicles at temperature lower than 0°C?
A. If the IS3000/IS5000 operates at temperatures below 0°C, its jump start rated
performance will be reduced but it will start vehicles with lower clamp output
requirements.
Q. Why didn't my IS3000/IS5000 start my vehicle?
A. There could be a number of reasons why the IS3000/IS5000 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 IS3000/IS5000 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 (<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 IS3000/IS5000 can produce.
Q. What is Clamp Power?
A. Clamp power is the maximum current available at the clamps.
