12 Volt DC Power
Your Jump-N-Carryis an essential tool for all who replace automobile batteries. Most vehicles have electronic components with memory, such as alarm systems, computers, radios, phones, etc. and when the vehicle’s battery is replaced, the memory is lost. However, if the Male-Male Extension Cord is connected from the Jump-N-Carryto the 12 Volt outlet on the vehicle, the memories can be saved.
Note: To use the Jump-N-Carryfor this purpose, the chosen outlet must be live when the vehicle is turned OFF. On some vehicles, 12 Volt outlets are deactivated when the vehicle is turned OFF.
Your Jump-N-Carryis also a portable power source for all 12 Vdc accessories equipped with a male 12 Volt plug. The DC outlet on the Jump-N-Carryhas automatic overload protection.
When your Jump-N-Carryis used with a DC to AC power inverter, it can operate appliances normally powered by 120 Vac or 220 Vac. Recommended inverter for the portable power source is 400 watts maximum. For more information, contact your nearest Jump-N-Carrydealer.
Performance and Temperature
Performance of your Jump-N-Carrywill depend upon several factors:
•A good, solid connection between the Jump-N-Carryclamps and the battery and ground connections are a must. Moving the clamps back and forth while connecting to the battery will help create a better connection.
•Clean connections between your vehicle or equipment battery and its terminals are very important. For an optimal connection, corrosion (soft grayish-white build-up) on battery terminals must be removed. With the ignition turned off, disconnect the battery cables and clean the terminals and battery posts with a baking soda solution.
•All batteries are affected by temperature changes, and the small, lightweight battery in the Jump-N-Carryis more sensitive to storage temperature than a standard automotive battery. Temperatures above 20ºC decrease amperage output. The ideal storage environment is room temperature, or 68ºF.
