Easy Jumpstart for your Car

Contributed by: The Hive Team

Have you ever had that panic feeling when you go to start your car and it is dead?! It is never at a convenient time or place - you are running late already, you are in a tight spot for another car to pull up, you don't have jumper cables, you don't want to ask a random stranger for help, the list goes on...

We have the perfect solution for you to jumpstart your car from anywhere! This is a MUST HAVE for you and, honestly, everyone that you know. This handy portable car jump starter will have you on the road in a jiffy. (Bought one for each of my aging parents, my kids and a few of their friends, and now its my go-to graduation gift!)

Here are the easy steps to using the portable car jump starter:

1. Make sure you read all the directions and safety information included with your portable jump starter before using the jumper cables or battery. Directions may vary from one charger to another.

2. Charge the battery fully before storing in your vehicle (simply plug into a regular power outlet with the included charging cable - it will hold a charge for quite some time while not in use).

3. When the need arises to jump start a car, simply remove the battery from the case and turn on the power. Plug the jumper cables into the battery pack.

4. Attach the heavy-duty jumper cables to the car battery. Identify the red (or positive) charge on your car battery and clamp on the red jumper cable to the bolt (make sure it is clamped on securely for a good connection). Then, identify the black (or negative) charge on your car battery and clamp on the black jumper cable to the bolt (again, making sure the clamp is securely placed).

5. Go into your car and start it up! It is that easy!!

6. Quickly remove the jumper cables from each side of the car battery, turn off the portable battery power and unplug the jumper cables from the portable battery. (Keep your car running until the car battery is recharged.)

7. Return the clamps and battery to the case and return the portable car jump starter kit to your trunk for safe keeping (or a next time, hopefully not!).
