Frequently Asked Questions - 16628 APA

How to charge the Mini Lithium Powerpack?

Use the supplied plug charger: plug the charging plug into the Powerpack socket, then the adapter into a 230 V mains socket. You can also use the car charging cable on a 12 V vehicle socket with the engine running. The LEDs flash during charging and stay on permanently when charging is complete.

How long does it take to fully charge the Powerpack?

The charging time is approximately 11 hours with the plug charger.

How to use the jump start function?

Make sure at least 3 LEDs are lit. Connect the red clamp (+) to the positive terminal of the battery, the black clamp (-) to the negative terminal. Plug the cable into the Powerpack. Start the engine (max 6 seconds). Wait 3 minutes between attempts. Disconnect the cable within 30 seconds after starting.

What vehicles can I start with the Powerpack?

It is designed for 12 V vehicles with a maximum 2.0 L gasoline engine. Not suitable for diesels or frozen batteries.

How to charge USB devices with the Powerpack?
