IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Precautions when working with the Jump Starter 800A:

WARNING: Keep the unit clear of fire and water.
WARNING: Shock Hazard. Keep away from children. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the Jump Start Cable Output or the USB Ports. Do not submerge this product in water, expose to rain, snow, condensation, or spray for long periods. Do not open the Jump Starter 800A. The battery is self-contained and there are no user replaceable parts inside the Jump Starter 800A. Do not use the Jump Starter 800A if it is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
Do not operate the Jump Starter 800A or accessories with a damaged cord or plug. To reduce the risk of damage to cords pull from the connector rather than the cord when unplugging. Use of an accessory or an attachment not included with or recommended for the Jump Starter 800A may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard. Do not use this product where there are flammable fumes or gases, such as an inadequately vented bilge of a boat or near propane tanks. Do not use this product in an enclosure containing automotive-type lead-acid batteries.
WARNING: Fire Hazard Do not crush or puncture.
CAUTION: Operating temperature and environment
Do not expose to temperatures over +113° F (+45° C) or under 14° F (-10° C). Using at high or low temperatures may reduce the internal battery capacity and shorten the battery life. Exposure to fire or temperatures over +265° F (+130° C) may cause explosion. Exercise care when using in wet conditions.
Note: In extreme cold weather conditions, please store indoors for best results. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Note: If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
The Jump Starter 800A is supplied with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. When charging the Jump Starter 800A work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict ventilation in any way. Proper charging practices will increase the life of the batteries. The unit and battery must be disposed of properly when it no longer holds a charge. For information on battery recycling call toll free 800-822-8837.
CAUTION: This device is not intended for use in a commercial repair facility.

Precautions when working with vehicle batteries:

WARNING: Explosion and fire hazard

Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the engine or batteries.
Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. Batteries produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or other similar objects to metal, causing a severe burn.
If you need to remove a battery, always remove the negative terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off to prevent causing a spark.
Someone should be within range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid when you work near batteries.
Have plenty of fresh water, soap and a supply of baking soda on hand in the area of the batteries in case of contact with battery acid. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte.

Note: In extreme cold weather conditions, please store indoors for best results.
Note: When charging a device(s) the charge level may be lower than the actual battery charge level because the Jump Starter 800A cannot accurately measure the charge level during rapid charging. To confirm the actual battery charge level, disconnect the device(s) being charged and press the power button. The Jump Starter 800A is designed for gasoline and diesel powered passenger cars and light duty trucks in good working order with batteries that are not damaged but require assistance commonly due to leaving lights on, cold temperature, sitting unused for limited periods of time. The Jump Starter 800A uses a special high current battery to provide up to 800 peak amps to start your engine. It can provide 250 amps starting current to jump start multiple vehicles on one charge. After jumpstarting multiple vehicles, the unit should be recharged to full in order to keep the battery in healthy condition. The Jump Starter 800A will also go into recovery mode for 10 minutes after 4 attempted jumpstarts to prevent the battery from overheating. The Jump Starter 800A is intended to jump start a vehicle with a battery that is not completely discharged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Jump Starter ready to go out of the box?
While your Jump Starter should have some level of charge, it is recommended that you charge your Jump Starter to full before using it to jumpstart any vehicle or putting it in long-term storage. After charging to full prior to first use, recharge your Jump Starter every 12 months or when it gets low after continued use.
Which port charges my Jump Starter?
While you can charge your devices using either the USB-C or USB-A port, you can only recharge your Jump Starter using the USB-C port.
Where do I look to see when my car is ready to jumpstart?
On the side of your jumper cables there will be a LED light to indicate the status of your current jumpstart. When the LED light shows solid green your car is ready to jumpstart. See the Tri-Color Status LED Table for additional LED light details.
What should I do if the LED light on my jumper cables does not turn on after connecting to my Jump Starter and car battery?
If your jumper cable LED light is not turning on after connecting to your Jump Starter and car battery, unplug your jumper cables for 30 seconds and check your Jump Starter’s current battery charge before reconnecting the cables.
What should I do if my Jump Starter won’t charge?
While Cobra’s Jump Starters are designed to last an extended period of time without needing to be recharged, it is important to recharge your Jump Starter to full charge every 12 months or or after regular use in order to keep your Jump Starter’s battery healthy. If the Jump Starter is left in a low or no- charge state for an extended period of time it can cause irreparable damage to the battery and prevent the Jump Starter from being able to properly recharge.

The Status LED on the jump start cable will illuminate and the color will change if the following conditions are present:
