FEATURES

RAPID RECHARGE TECHNOLOGY (RRT)

The Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is able to rapidly recover charge from the vehicles alternator. Leaving the clamps connected to the vehicle battery for 40 seconds will recharge the jumpstarter to 100%* of the original charge status. If left connected, will recharge for up to 10 minutes. Once the jump starter is fully charged, the RRT will shut off avoiding overcharging.

JUMPSTARTING PERFORMANCE

This jumpstarter is designed to start vehicles that require a clamp output of up to 700 Amps to start their engine. With 40 seconds of RRT the jumpstarter will not need to be recharged during the working day. However it is recommended that the PJ-IS1500-2 be charged on the dock when not in use to increase the battery life by 10–20%.

The PJ-IS1500-2 jumpstarter is light and compact compared to conventional Lead Acid jumpstarters. With best in class over-mould material which provides secure grip and impact protection allowing users to operate the unit on the engine or starter battery.

HIGH PERFORMANCE BATTERY

High quality 4-cell 6Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate battery delivers instant starting power to gas and diesel vehicles. The battery offers longer life, better power density and is inherently safer (compared to lead acid batteries and other Lithium Batteries. It is certified to meet International Standard UN DOT 38.3.

ULTRA LOW BATTERY LEAKAGE CURRENT

A special circuit is added to prevent internal battery from leaking current. The user doesn’t need to worry about battery depletion over time. Simply put it has longer shelf life between recharging.

DOCKING STATION FOR 120V

A slim and stable docking station is provided to allow the unit to be charged from a 120V AC outlet.

AUTOMATIC CELL BALANCED CHARGE CONTROL

Automatically stops charging when the battery is fully charged and initiates maintenance mode, keeping the battery fully charged ready for use. You can leave the unit on charge indefinitely without the risk of overcharging. Using the docking station increases the life by 10–20%.

REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION & ALARM

Prevents sparking from accidental reverse connection. Alarm sounds when jumpstarter clamps are connected incorrectly. If the alarm sounds check for reverse connection.

OVER-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

Should the unit overheat by continuous or numerous jumpstarts, the unit will shut off automatically and restart once the over-temperature condition subsides.

UNDER-VOLTAGE AND OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION

The jumpstarter will deactivate and sound an alarm if connected to a vehicle battery which is higher than 14.6V, or if the internal battery is discharged to a level whereby the battery might be damaged.

BATTERY AND JUMPSTART STATUS INDICATION

Monitor the jumpstarter’s charge level and display jumpstart status from the easy to read LED indicators and BATTERY STATUS button.

SURGE PROTECTION

Allows safe jumpstarting of vehicles with EFI (electronic fuel injection) and computer management systems.
