What is a jump starter?
A jump starter is a portable lithium polymer battery device that allows you to jump-start your car without the help of another vehicle when you have issues with your car battery. It outputs a large amount of power in seconds, powerful enough to get your car engine to work. When your car starts, you remove the jump starter, and the car battery will be recharged by the car again.
When may you need to use it?
Many people have issues with their car batteries, especially those who live in cold places or have high mileage, the car battery is easier to break down. A jump starter is needed to power up your car in case of a flat battery. You don’t need it 99 percent of the time, but it will come more than handy when you do need to use it. Who knows when the car battery is running flat?
Here are several factors may easily cause a depleted battery. Like, living in cold places, the headlights were left on, or the cars haven't been driven in a long time.
How to start vehicles
The traditional way of jump-starting is using jumper leads. The problem with jumper leads is that you’re left at the mercy of a well-meaning driver to lend you their battery so you can jump-start your car. That’s not always happening, nor is it fast. Car battery chargers can also be useful, but these are designed to slowly refill the battery rather than start the engine directly. Luckily, a car jump starter can start your car instantly and all by yourself. Note that all car jump starters will come with a jumper cable with a red clamp and a black clamp.
Steps to operate:
*Please note that the steps show how most car jump starters will work. Please always read the manufacturer's manual for your specific model and consider safety precautions before attempting to jump-start your vehicle.
1. Connect the jumper cable to the host.
2. Connect the two clamps to the positive terminal on the battery. ( Red goes to +, black goes to -.)
3. Once your cable clamps are all set, press the button and start your car engine.
4. Remove the cables and back to the road.
