FAQs

How long does it take to fully charge the jump starter?

A full charge typically takes 24-48 hours using the AC charger. It is recommended to charge it overnight.

How many times can I jump-start a car on a single charge?

The number of jump-starts depends on the battery's condition, but it can typically provide multiple jump-starts on a full charge.

Can I use this jump starter for a diesel engine?

While it can assist with some smaller diesel engines, its primary design is for gasoline engines. For larger diesel engines, a higher amperage jump starter may be required.

What is the maximum tire pressure the compressor can reach?

The integrated air compressor has a maximum pressure of 300 psi.

How should I store the jump starter?

Store the unit in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Ensure it is recharged every 3-6 months to maintain battery health.

This model (W1665) does not feature a built-in work light.

What type of battery does it use?

It uses a 12 Volt, 12AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery.

Troubleshooting

Unit will not turn on or provide power

Ensure the unit is fully charged. Check that the ON/OFF safety switch is in the correct position for the intended operation (ON for jump-starting, OFF for storage).

Jump starter fails to crank the engine

Verify correct clamp connections to the battery terminals. Ensure the battery is not completely depleted beyond the unit's capacity. Recharge the jump starter fully.

Air compressor not inflating

Ensure the air hose is securely connected to the unit and the item being inflated. Check that the compressor is switched on if applicable, and that the unit has sufficient charge.

Reverse polarity warning light is on

Immediately disconnect the clamps and reconnect them, ensuring the red clamp is on the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp is on the negative (-) terminal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before first use, fully charge the unit using the provided charger until all three LEDs are illuminated. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal or a chassis ground point away from the battery. Ensure the ON/OFF safety switch is in the OFF position. Turn the switch to ON to initiate the jump-start. Once the vehicle starts, turn the switch to OFF, then carefully disconnect the clamps in reverse order.

Compatibility: The W1665 is designed for 12-volt automotive batteries found in cars, trucks, and SUVs. It is not suitable for 6-volt systems or larger industrial vehicles.

Care: Store the jump starter in a cool, dry place. Recharge the unit every 3-6 months, even if not used, to maintain battery health. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Inspect cables and clamps regularly for damage.
