If you follow these steps, you can keep your entry starter in good working condition and have a long service life.

  1. Keep your starter in a charged state and avoid leaving the device in a high discharge state for a long time. Please keep in mind that the quick start battery has no storage problems, and even if it is only slightly discharged, it will not be hurt by frequent charging. The best practice is to charge the starter after each use. Even in cases where this charging frequency is impractical, if the machine is used frequently, it should be charged every night. If the jump starter is not used regularly, please charge it every 3 months to ensure that the battery is not discharged for a long time.

  2. Respect the duty cycle of your starter. Each jump starter has a working cycle in which the vehicle can only be shaken after a certain rest period (for the jump starter) is required – for details on the jump starter, please refer to the operator manual. For almost all Clore Automotive jump starters, the recommended duty cycle is 6 seconds of start-up time, followed by a 3-minute break. This can avoid excessive heat accumulation in the starter battery, otherwise it will damage its internal structure and shorten its service life.

  3. If possible, store the jump starter in a medium temperature environment with a temperature between 50˚F and 70˚F (10˚-20˚C). Like car batteries, both short-term and long-term exposure to extreme temperatures can adversely affect entry-level starter batteries. For example, a jump starter stored at 20˚F has a lower jump starting power than a jump starter stored at 60˚F. In the long run, prolonged exposure to high storage temperatures (> 90˚F) will reduce the life of the quick start battery.

  4. After the jump start has been successfully completed, it is important to disconnect the jump starter from the running vehicle as soon as possible. This is very important. Always keep in mind all safety procedures and the correct disconnection sequence. The typical output power of the vehicle alternator is much higher than the recommended charging rate of the jump starter battery. Charging the battery (any battery) at a rate higher than the recommended charging rate can damage its long-term health. Many technicians keep the jump starter connected after a successful start, believing that this is a quick and easy way to fully charge the device, but this practice should be avoided.

  5. So far, our focus has been on the battery, which is the core of the quick start and the most critical component that affects its durability and service life. In other words, other factors should be kept in mind. Keep in mind that many batteries in contact with the starter are in poor condition, which may cause battery acid on or around the post. In this case, after jumping the battery-equipped vehicle, wipe the clamp (especially the positive electrode, which is the only clamp that should be in contact with the battery) with a clean cloth to remove residual battery acid. For jigs with a high degree of acid contact, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used with a wire brush.
