Troubleshooting/FAQs

Q. What should I do if the Jump-N-Carry will not hold a charge?

A. Loadtestthebattery.Afterfullychargingthebattery(see“Recharging”section),

apply a 100 amp load (through the clamps) to the unit for a period of 6 seconds,

while monitoring the battery voltage. The battery is good if the voltage at the end of

theloadis9.5Vdcorhigher.

Q. What is the ideal use for the Jump-N-Carry?

A. The Jump-N-Carry performs strongly when a vehicle’s battery needs an extra

boost because a light or radio was left on, or when a vehicle has been sitting for

a long period of time. The Jump-N-Carry will start vehicles without any other

batteries present, but the primary use is for an extra boost.

Q. Will the Jump-N-Carry start every vehicle?

A. No.Inadditiontoadeadbattery,acarmayhaveothermechanicalproblemsthat

would prevent the Jump-N-Carry from starting the vehicle.

Q.HowoftenshouldIrechargetheJump-N-Carry?

A. To maximize battery life, charging after every use is recommended. The

Jump-N-Carry should not be left in a discharged state. The battery in the

Jump-N-Carry has no memory problems and should not be treated as a

rechargeable tool (cordless drills, camcorders, etc.).

Q.HowmanyjumpstartscanIgetfromtheJump-N-Carry before recharging?

A. A large number of factors affect this answer, including the following: the length of

time for each jump start, the charge level of the original battery, the length of time

between jump starts, the temperature of the vehicles being jump started (winter

coldmakesfordifficultstarting),thesizeoftheengines(4-cycl,6-cycl,8-cycl,etc.),

the mechanical condition of the engine and starter, and more. These factors must

all be weighed on an individual basis before an accurate answer can be given. It’s

feasible to get 10-30 starts (individual’s results will differ) from a single charge, but

this violates the rule of immediate charging after every use.

Q. After jump starting, can I leave the unit hooked to the battery to recharge the

Jump-N-Carry while the engine is running?

A. No.AttemptingtorechargetheJump-N-Carry by this method is not

recommended.Vehiclealternatorsoutputanywherefrom25-125amps.This

charging rate greatly exceeds the recommended recharging rate for

Jump-N-Carry. Charging by this method will result in overcharging the

Jump-N-Carry battery, and may void the product warranty.

Q.Whataccessoriescanbeusedintheoptional12voltoutlet?

A. Anyaccessoryupto12ampscanbepoweredbytheJump-N-Carry. This unit

is equipped with an automatic reset circuit breaker, should the current exceed

12amps.Atthesametime,thislimitsanyrechargecurrentthroughthe12-volt

outletto12amps.Onecanpoweralmostany12-volttooloraccessory(examples:

impact wrenches, fans, radios, cellular phones, navigation equipment, camcorders,

emergency power, trolling motors, coolers, small refrigerators, etc.).

Q. Can the Jump-N-Carry battery be replaced?

A. Yes,callTechnicalServiceat(913)310-1050(U.S.).
