JUMP STARTING
- Select the appropriate adapter cable (12 volt or 24 volt)
- Connect the adapter cable to the Jump Pack. Both blue (EC5) connectors must be plugged into the EC5 sockets on the Jump Pack. Note: either connector can be plugged into either socket.
- Connect the red jumper cable clamp to the positive post of the vehicle battery.
- Connect the black jumper cable clamp to the negative post of the vehicle battery or chassis ground (if battery negative is connected to chassis ground).
- Plug the jumper cable into the adapter cables (connector only fits one way)
- Start the vehicle (engine cranking should be limited to 10 seconds of cranking in any 1-minute period)
- Disconnect negative clamp, then positive clamp after vehicle starts (recharge the Jump Pack after use)
USB Port for Charging/Powering Electronic Devices
Press the On/Off button for 1< second, the charge level indicator should
light-up which is an indication the USB port is on. The unit will

FAQs
Despite the simplicity of operation, you may encounter situations where the Jump Pack does not operate as expected. Here are some potential issues you may encounter with the appropriate troubleshooting procedures.
Q. How to turn on the USB ports?
A. The Jump Pack needs to be “turned on” for the USB ports to operate. To turn on the Jump Pack press the power on button for one second and verify the charge level indicator lights are lit. The Jump Pack (USB port) will shut-off automatically after a few minutes of no use.
Q. How many times can the Jump Pack charge my phone before needing to recharge the Jump Pack (i.e. iPhone 12)?
A. >8 times
Q. How many times can the Jump Pack, jump start, a vehicle before needing to be recharged?
A. This depends on many factors like the vehicle’s battery condition, the vehicles’ required cranking amps, and the size of the vehicle battery. For powersport vehicles it could be more than 20 times, whereas a truck with a drained 100Ah battery maybe only 5 times.
Q. How long does the Jump Pack retain a charge when in storage?
A. It can retain a charge for more than one year, but it is recommended that it be recharged every 6 months.
Q. I was not able to successfully jump start my vehicle?
A. In some cases a lead acid battery may have an internal short and it can’t be jump started. In other rare cases short may blow the fuse on the jumper cable clamps. To check the fuse, use a voltmeter to verify there is voltage at the clamps (>13 volts).
Q. Do I have to disconnect the Jump Pack immediately after starting?
A. The EarthX Jump Pack is LiFePO4 with the same charging voltage as the main aircraft battery (charges up to 14.5V). As such, you can leave the Jump Pack connected after a start, but it is not recommended to do this as a normal practice.
