Troubleshooting/FAQs

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.
