Looking at the specs for the charging adapter provided above, it only needs 0.5A to 0.7A to charge the jump starter. Obviously it takes longer to charge the battery with this amount of current, but most probably it is suited to the type of battery (and battery management system) in the jump starter.


There are several steps that will keep your jump starter in good operating condition and support a long service life. Keeping these steps in mind could extend the life of your jump starter as much as two to three times longer than if you do not follow these basic recommendations. Of course, that is the key: you must follow these steps if you want to get the best and longest service from your jump starter.


1. Keep your jump starter charged. Avoid letting the unit sit in a highly discharged state. Remember, jump-starter batteries have no memory issues. You cannot harm them with frequent charges, even when they are only slightly discharged. So, plug in your jump starter early and often. The best practice is to charge a jump starter after each use. Even in those cases where this type of charge frequency is unrealistic, nightly charging should be done if the unit is used often. If you do not use the jump starter regularly, make sure to charge it at least every three months to ensure the battery is not sitting in a discharged state for extended periods.


4. When you have completed a successful jump start, it is important to disconnect the jump starter from the now running vehicle as quickly as possible. Always remember to follow all safety procedures and the proper disconnection sequence when you are taking the cables off. Typical vehicle alternator output is much higher than the recommended recharge rate for a jump starter battery. Charging any battery at a rate greater than the recommended charge rate is detrimental to its long-term health. Many technicians leave the jump starter connected after a successful start, thinking that it is a fast and easy way to get the unit recharged. You should avoid this practice. It will do more harm than good. Charge your jump starter in the normal way to support a long unit life.


Following these simple steps can greatly extend the life of your jump starter. In addition, taking care of your jump starter will also help ensure it is ready for service each time you need it so it will provide the peak power you need to get engines going again. 2ff7e9595c
