Frequently Asked Questions - ABC25AN Perel

How to use the Perel ABC25AN jumper cables?

First connect the red cable (+) to the positive terminal of the discharged battery, then to the positive terminal of the booster battery. Then connect the black cable (-) to the negative terminal of the booster battery, then to a metal ground on the disabled vehicle (engine block), away from the battery. Start the booster vehicle, then the disabled vehicle. Disconnect in reverse order.

How to connect the cables on a vehicle with positive ground?

In this case, reverse the polarity: first connect the black cable (-) to the negative terminal of the discharged battery, then to the negative terminal of the booster battery. Then connect the red cable (+) to the positive terminal of the booster battery, then to the engine block of the disabled vehicle (away from the battery).

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear eye protection. Avoid any flame or spark near the battery. Do not smoke. Ensure that the vehicles are not touching and both electrical systems are off. Check that the batteries have the same voltage (12 V or 24 V). Use a damp cloth on the vent caps.

What is the maximum capacity of the ABC25AN cable?

The cable supports a maximum current of 350 A, corresponding to a 25 mm² section. It is suitable for petrol engines up to 5500 cc or diesel up to 3000 cc.

How to maintain the jumper cables?

After use, clean the clamps with a dry cloth to remove any corrosion or dirt. Store the cables in the provided bag, in a dry place away from humidity.

USER MANUAL

1. Introduction

To all residents of the European Union Important environmental information about this product

This symbol on the device or the package indicates that disposal of the device after its lifecycle could harm the environment. Do not dispose of the unit (or batteries) as unsorted municipal waste; it should be taken to a specialized company for recycling. This device should be returned to your distributor or to a local recycling service. Respect the local environmental rules.

If in doubt, contact your local waste disposal authorities.

Thank you for choosing Perel! Please read the manual thoroughly before bringing this device into service. If the device was damaged in transit, do not install or use it and contact your dealer.

2. Safety Instructions

WARNING: BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES. Consult the car owner's manual and follow all instructions.

Shield eyes and face from the batteries at all times. Be sure the vent caps are tight and level. Place a damp cloth over any vent cap on both batteries. Handle the cloth carefully; do not allow the cloth to come in contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Be sure the vehicles do not touch and both electrical systems are off and have the same voltage. Avoid moving fan blades.

Do not use the jump leads after cranking continuously for 10 \~ 15 seconds. Wait for about 1 minute and try again. If you can still not start the stalled car, the problem might be due to a mechanical or electrical failure, and not the battery. Seek a qualified technician.

• Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.
• Consult your car owner manual for complete details.
• Lead-acid batteries contain sulphuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
• The improper connection of jumper cables presents an explosion hazard. Follow the recommended procedures.
• Do not smoke or use an open flame near batteries.
• Remove vent caps and check the liquid level before jump starting. If the liquid is not visible or appears to be frozen, do not attempt to jump start.
