I wouldn't want to turn engine off just to disconnect jump starter, might not start again and yes I can just reconnect and try again but imagine doing that several times,.
You can just remove battery when you successfully started an engine. Doing like it was recommended here might lead to a situation where you might fail to start car again. Of course, it is potentially less save if 1000 things go wrong all at the same time.
Two questions: 1. Can this power pack used on a car where the battery of the car has serious cell shortages? 2. Follow up question about the same car: how far can you drive a car with this power pack as a substitute for a real battery, without anything turned on in the car except the engine? (without using A/C, radio, headlights, heating fan, etc. let's say on a 1.6 L gasoline Corolla?)
My one did not work it had 79% charge in the pack and still did not work mine is for a 2 leter engin it is for my renult cleo does anyone know why this pack it not working thanks in advance
Hi. That doesn't sound right, so could you please get in touch with our Technical Team on 01284757505, or via email to technical@sealey.co.uk and they will advise accordingly. Thank you.
Hi. It really is impossible to specify what the reason could be as there are so many variables, but please do give our Technical Team a call on 01284757505, or email technical@sealey.co.uk with all the details and they will be happy to answer your questions. Thanks.
Hi. We have a huge range of Jump Starter Power Packs on our website with prices here: www.sealey.co.uk/search?q=jump+starter+power+pack&sortby=0 Thanks.
Really? Is it because if the ground is removed, it then creates a potential current for the red clip? Like the ground is helping to diffuse electrical current away?
te9591 - No he's either an idiot, or some sort of psychopath only interessted in causing injuries to people. With a kit like this, it 'generally' doesn't matter since the power is off, however in the (low chance) case where it's "off", but still providing power (a.k.a; something be broken) you ought to do it the correct order which is black, then red. The reason for that is, there's currently an electric circuit going on and you're interupting this by removing the cable, so removing the positive (where the current comes from) first, you create an electric arc that can (among other things) ignite the hydrogen gasses released by the running battery. If you don't want to (in the worst case) create an explosion, do not remove positive(red) first. This is also why you don't put negative down first, as it creates an arc when you attempt to put on positive.
Personally I do red on, black on, then once the engine is started, I turn the pack off and remove the plug from the pack, then I remove black first, then red, and I've never had a problem
Just bought one of these. Great bit of kit.
Thank you for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Watching from the USA.

yeah you should leave your hood open and start driving with the charger on the engine, that's what i do all the time and no accidents so far.

Hi. It would be best to replace a battery with a known cell shortage and a Jump Starter Power Pack must not be used as a battery substitute. Thanks.
This scares me to use it tbh

I just used one and it blew my main fuse. Why?

Take the red cable off first

Bullshit: you do it in reverse order. Black first, then red.

@SS-nm3uy there's an Republican for you 😂
