Q: What is the peak current of the GB150?
Most petrol engines up to 9.0L and diesel engines up to 7.0L can be jump-started using the GB150’s maximum output of 3000 amps.
Q: What does the built-in voltmeter do?
When connected, the digital voltmeter shows the precise battery voltage. It assists you in determining the state of the battery before trying a jump start or spotting problems with the charging mechanism.
Q: How many jump starts can I get from a full charge?
A fully charged GB150 can deliver up to 80 jump starts on a single charge, depending on the car and battery condition.
Q: How do I know when the GB150 is fully charged?
The battery level will be displayed by the charge LED indicators. The device is fully charged when each of the four white LEDs is solid.
Q: Can I leave the GB150 plugged in all the time?
No. Unplug the charger after it is fully charged to prevent overcharging or needless power use. When stored correctly, the lithium battery retains its charge for several months.
Q: How often should I recharge the unit?
Even if not in use, recharge every three to six months to keep performance at its best. After using something, always recharge right away.
