STORAGE 5.
IMPORTANT:
CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE •
KEEP FULLY CHARGED •
Charge the Instant Power™ internal battery immediately after purchase, after
every use and every 30 days.
All batteries are affected by temperature. The ideal storage temperature is
at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The internal battery will gradually self-discharge
(lose power) over time, especially in warm environments. Leaving the battery
in a discharged state may result in permanent battery damage. To ensure
satisfactory performance and avoid permanent damage, charge the internal
battery every month.
The clips on the Instant Power™ are live and will produce arcing or sparking
if they come in contact with each other. To prevent accidental arcing, always
keep the clips on the storage holders when not using it to jump start a vehicle.
