TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem:
1 or 2 lights come on, charger is plugged in for 24 hours
and there is no change in status of lights.
Answer:
Check charger to see if it is charging. Charger should be
warm.
Problem:
Charger works well but still no change in status of lights
when test button is pressed.
Answer:
Possible defective battery or faulty breaker. Try using a
device (light, TV, etc...) with a lighter plug on it to see if it
works. Should it work, KWIKSTART breaker is OK and
the battery is the problem.
Problem:
All of the lights come on when the charger is plugged into
the KWIKSTART, but when the charger is unplugged and
the test button pressed, no lights come on.
Answer:
Defective battery.
Question: What will cause this?
Answer:
Intense use without allowing a cool down period: SEE
NOTE: USED AS AN EMERGENCY JUMP STARTER.
Problem:
KWIKSTART is fully charged but has no power.
Answer:
Check where the wire meets the jaw on the KWIKSTART
clip. Make sure they are well crimped, or if your unit has a
power switch make sure it is in the on position.
Problem:
When trying to use an accessory through the cigar lighter
outlet on the KWIKSTART, I heard a clicking sound
coming from inside the KWIKSTART.
Answer:
The accessory is drawing too many amps, causing the
internal circuit breaker to cycle ON and OFF. There may
be a problem with the accessory (such as a short circuit)
that is causing the overload condition.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Question: How many jump starts can a fully charged KWIKSTART
do before needing to be recharged?
Answer:
1 to 30. Factors are temperature, general condition of
vehicle, engine type and size.
Question: Can the KWIKSTART battery be replaced?
Answer:
Yes, call technical service at 1-800-949-1472.
Question: Can the KWIKSTART be recycled?
Answer:
Yes, the environment was one of our main concerns in the
development and designing of the KWIKSTART. Most
battery outlets can dispose of this product at its life's end.
Question: What is the ideal in-use storage temperature of the
KWIKSTART?
Answer:
Room temperature. The KWIKSTART will also operate at
below zero temperatures, however its power will be less.
Intense heat will accelerate self discharge.
Question: I have a regular 10 amp battery charger, can I use it to
recharge the KWIKSTART?
Answer:
No, only the supplied wall charger should be used.
Question: Is the KWIKSTART goof proof?
Answer:
No. Jump starting instructions must be followed. See
back of KWIKSTART.
Question:
I'm recharging my KWIKSTART, should the green
CHARGED light immediately come on?
Answer:
No. First the yellow CHARGING light will come on to
indicate the charging process is beginning, then the red
POWER LEVEL lights come on in sequence as the level
of charge increases. Finally, the green CHARGED light
will come on, but only when the KWIKSTART approaches
full charge.
Question:
How long should I charge the KWIKSTART?
Answer:
Your KWIKSTART can be left on the wall charger
continuously. Your KWIKSTART should be charged for a
minimum of 30 hours when new. To recharge with the
wall charger the KWIKSTART should be charged for 4 to
6 hours per light that doesn't come on when the TEST
button is pressed.
Question:
How do I know when the KWIKSTART is fully charged?
Answer:
Follow all charging instructions, remove the KWIKSTART
from the wall charger and press the TEST button. If all
power indicator lights and the CHARGED (or CHARGING)
light come on, the KWIKSTART is fully charged.
Question:
How can I test the battery in my KWIKSTART to see if it
needs to be replaced?
Answer:
The manufacturer recommends that you use a 100 amp
battery load tester. Load the KWIKSTART battery for 6
seconds with a 100 amp load and it should maintain at
least 9 VDC.
TESTING THE BATTERY
After fully charging the battery so all red lights come on when
depressing the test button, apply a 100 amp load to the battery clamps
for 6 seconds, while monitoring the battery voltage (at the battery
clamps.) The battery is good if the voltage is 9 VDC or higher.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
