Duralast 700 Amp Jump Starter Manual

Getting stuck on the road because of a drained car battery can be frustrating. With each minute, there is no roadside assistance or cell service; your life is in danger. That’s why it’s essential to carry a charged jump starter (also called emergency boosters, jump boxes, battery jumpers, or battery boosters) with you. Not only does it help to jump-start a dead battery by instantly delivering massive amounts of power, but it can also be used to charge electronic devices via USB connections, filling up tires (some), and providing emergency lights. Nevertheless, are you well informed or experienced enough on how to charge your jump starter safely? Here is a step by step guide on how to charge a jump starter pack.

The Duralast DL-1200AC Lithium Ion Jump Starter and Portable Power unit quickly starts vehicles in emergencies. Great for use on power sport vehicles, motorcycles and 8-cylinder cars. This unit also has a compressor for all your inflating needs. This unit includes a USB port for charging all electronic devices. In 1986, Duralast began with starters and alternators. Now it is one of the leading aftermarket brands, consistently offering OE or better quality parts in over 20 different categories. Whether you’re running an established repair shop or just changing your brakes, Duralast delivers dependable performance at a value that can’t be beat.

  • Considerations for Charging a Jump Starter Pack

Considerations for Charging a Jump Starter Pack

Charging should be done in a dry, safe, well-ventilated area and away from children because their batteries produce explosive gases when charging.

  1. Always wear eye protection when charging your jump starter.
  2. The jump starter should be charged immediately after a single use to prolong battery life. Even when left alone, the battery discharges by itself and should be recharged periodically to maintain maximum battery capacity.
  3. If you stay in a cold environment, never attempt to recharge your Jump starter battery if frozen. First, warm the frozen battery to 0°C (32°F) to recharge.
  4. Always ensure all functions of the Jump-Starter are turned off when restoring and never operate DC appliances with the Jump-Starter while it’s being recharged with an AC charger.
  5. Avoid crushing, cutting, pulling, entangling, or exposing charging adapter cords to extreme heat or sharp edges.
  6. Do not attempt charging a jump starter if it’s charger is damaged.

How to Charge Peak Jump Starter 600 Amp

The Peak Jump Starter 600 Amp is designed to charge using a 110/120-volt outlet AC that’s within it. It doesn’t come with an extension cord, and you have to buy one with a minimum gauge of 27 and rated with a minimum insulation temperature of 90°C (194°F). Before charging, you should check the battery level percentage to ensure it’s not already 100% full by pressing and holding the battery status button at the front of the unit. When you buy a new Peak jump starter, it is recommended you first charge it to its maximum for an initial charge time of 24 hours. Afterward, it only requires an AC charge time of 8 -12 hours. Here’s is the process for 110/120-Volt AC Charging.

  1. First, remove and disconnect any DC appliance from the 12-volt DC power socket and turn all switches to an OFF position
  2. Get the AC charging plug from the back of your Peak Jump-Starter.
  3. Connect the extension plug to the AC charging plug.
  4. Plug in an approved external AC power cord into a 110/120- volt AC outlet.
  5. You will notice the battery indicator increasing with successful charging once your peak Jump-Starter gets fully charged. The display will read FL.
  6. Now disconnect the AC extension cord from the 110/120-volt AC outlet, and also disconnect it from your Jump-Starter AC charging plug.

In the world of portable jump starters, confusion abounds.

Today in this post, I thought I’d put together a few helpful tips to get you pointed in the right direction.


I’ll look at sources for reviews, sources for procuring, and how to safely use a jump starter.

First, let’s go over the main reasons why you should own a portable jump starter.

  1. A jump starter is portable. Just keep the starter in the trunk.
  2. A starter pack gives you peace of mind when your car battery is weak or dead.
  3. You can boost your battery yourself without the need of another vehicle.
  4. A starter pack also provides portable 12 volt power to charge or run other devices like a laptop or cell phone.
  5. No need to worry about damaging the other vehicle, or your own if you are helping someone.

As with any device intended for emergency use, proper care and maintenance is needed to ensure your jumper is ready for use when you need it.

Keeping the portable jumper’s battery fully charged is key. It is generally recommended to recharge your portable jumper pack every three months.

There are few thing to keep in mind when considering which portable booster you should buy.

  • Proper strength (amps)
  • Weight
  • Accessories

To properly size your starter pack consider the amp ratings. Here is a page that outlines the significance of amp ratings and how to size the right jumper for your application.

Most portable jumpers range from 8 pounds to 40 pounds. Weight generally goes up with the strength (amps) of the unit because a bigger battery is required.

Pick one that is the strongest in amps for your application, that you can still comfortably lift to about shoulder height.

Also, consider the need you might have for emergency lighting, tire inflation, and recharging cell phones and laptops.

Imagine the worst case scenario. Your car battery is completely dead, it is dark and your cell phone is also dead. Well, good thing you have a portable power pack in the trunk right?

Portable Jump Starter Reviews

When you have narrowed down the basic type of portable jumper you want by strength, weight, and accessories, a good thing to do is check out a few portable jump starter reviews.

A good review will give you technical information, features, as well as customer ratings.

Most review sites endeavor to be honest and factual, even though they have affiliation with the particular product. Which means, when you make a purchase through the review site, the site owner will receive a commission.

Some folks will see this as a conflict of interest, and others will not.

The way I see it is like this. If the review site is serving up good, useful, quality information, the site owner should be compensated for his efforts.

Amp

That said, there are plenty of “thin” sites that are not really useful. You may want to stay way from those sites.

Here is an article by ConsumerReports.org that has merit, although “thin” and limited in it’s scope. I still believe it is useful because it is from a trusted source.

We Put Them To The Test

By ConsumerReports.org

Larger portable jump-starting devices that clamp to a car’s battery have become common in the past few years. But even smaller devices, which plug into a car’s power outlet, are now on the market.

These devices, which cost between $20 and $50, do not instantly start your car. They take 5 to 10 minutes to charge your battery when it’s low. But our testing in four vehicles of various sizes with drained batteries showed that only two of four portable jumpers, the Black & Decker Simple Start, $40, and the Schumacher e-Charge EC-4000, $50, worked on all the vehicles. All models were fully charged before each test.

These models have lead-acid batteries that can be recharged and used again. But they must be periodically recharged even if they’re not used because they lose their charge over time.

They’re also larger and weigh more than 4 pounds, so you’d probably want to store them in the trunk. Five of nine Schumacher batteries started our test vehicles, but two of them required additional charging beyond the manufacturer’s instructions. Four appeared to come with dead internal batteries and weren’t able to start our test cars even with additional charging.

We also tested the StartMeUp2, $20, and the Porta-Jump PJR-STH, $30, which are lighter in weight and small enough to fit in most glove compartments.

The StartMeUp2 needs no maintenance. But it contains a nonrechargeable battery that is good for just one use. Both models started only one of our vehicles.

Bottom line. If you want a portable model, the Black & Decker is the only one worth a try. But be sure to keep it charged. Your best bet is to buy a set of booster cables at least 12 feet long and between 4 and 6 gauge. They don’t need maintenance, and as long as you have access to a second vehicle, they can be used to jump-start any car.

Here are a few review sites that are worth checking out. Of course I will list CarBatteryHelp. I’m a little bias. 🙂

Sources For Procuring

Amazon

Amazon is one of my favorite online shopping places.

You can always be sure to find the lowest discounted prices and free shipping deals.

Here are two top selling lines of jump starters.

The JNC660 is well suited for most vehicles, while the MicroStart PPS is great for sports vehicles.

Clore Automotive JNC660 and

Autozone

Autozone carries Duramax as their main brand. They are local so you can go home today with one, but they don’t always have stock of a particular item you may want.

Here’s the top customer rated battery jumper you can find at Autozone.

Walmart

Walmart carries a full line of car battery jump starters. All top name brands with customer reviews and ratings.

What I like about Walmart is that you can order online and have the item shipped to the store for free.

You can also be assured of the low prices.

They seem to be price locked with Amazon, but I have seen prices higher at Walmart than at Amazon.

Here is the current best seller at Walmart

Access All Walmart Jump Starters Here

Harbor Freight

Harbor Freight has been a favorite place to go for many years.

They feature low cost tools and equipment.

Which is great for bargain hunters an those on a tight budget.

A word to the wise though, non-brand name items are usually of low to inferior quality.

Here’s the best rated car battery jump starter from Harbor Freight, but it’s only available at the store.

Home Depot

Alas we come to Home Depot.

Definitely a favorite for most people.

The products available at Home Depot are always good to top quality.

Home Depot also has a fair selection of car related tools and equipment, including portable jump starters.

Currently, Home Depot has 28 jump starters to choose from, 7 of which are available in the store.

Here are two of the top customer rated jump starters at Home Depot

How To Use A Portable Jump Starter

Although using a portable booster pack is straight forward and easy, here is how to use a portable jump starter properly on your car.

To use as a jump booster for a weak or dead car battery do the following:

  1. Connect the positive(red) clamp of the starter to the positive(red) cable of the battery.
  2. Connect the negative(black) clamp of the starter to a sturdy metal part of the engine or frame of the car, as far away from the battery as possible and keeping clear of moving parts.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. After the engine starts immediately disconnect the negative(black) clamp first, then the positive(red) clamp.

Here’s a video from Clore Automotive demonstrating the [easyazon_link asin=”B000JFJLP6″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”carbattery0e-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]Clore JNC660[/easyazon_link], which is a jumper I have reviewed here.

As you can see, it’s pretty easy to use one of these.

To use as a 12 volt portable power source is easy too.

Duralast Jump Starter 1200 Manual

Usually, these packs will come with a 12 volt power socket similar to the cigarette light in your car.

Just purchase a 12 volt inverter and plug in your 120 volt AC device. This is a great feature with tons of uses from camping to power outages.

I read of one man who used his power pack to power up his CPAC machine during a power outage. He wrote that it lasted for several days without a recharge.

When I’m outdoors and away from my car or truck, I love the fact that I can still use my laptop or small TV.

Conclusion

Procuring a portable starter for your car’s battery failures is a wise choice. It is better to use a car battery starter instead of regular jumper cables because of safety issues for the car and operators.

Consider these three factors:Best launcher for ios.

  • Weight
