CHARGING THE GLOVE BOX CAR JUMP STARTER

The Glove Box Car Jump Starter has been shipped partially charged. However, for optimum performance, you must recharge it before first use. The Glove Box Car Jump Starter can only be recharged through the cigarette lighter while driving.

2. Start your car.
3. Plug the Glove Box Car Jump Starter into the cigarette lighter (12V DC outlet) for 2-4 hours for
   recharging while you drive. When all of the LEDs are on, the Glove Box Car Jump Starter is fully
   charged.
   NOTE: When charging the Glove Box Car Jump Starter, ensure that the vehicle’s engine is running to prevent over drainage of the car battery. The Glove Box Car Jump Starter can only be charged when the car battery voltage is greater than 11.5V. (The circuitry has a built-in power saver to protect the car battery.)

IMPORTANT: Recharge the Glove Box Car Jump Starter after each use, and every 3 months, to keep the internal battery fully charged and to prolong the battery life.
