Repco 12V 1700A Sealed AGM Battery Jump Starter - RCJS1700

Repco RCJS1700 12V 1700A Sealed AGM Battery Jump Starter: Powerful, Safe, and Compact

The Repco RCJS1700 jump starter offers a balance of robust power and practical design for those who need reliable battery support for larger petrol and smaller diesel vehicles. With 1700 amps capability, it is designed to jump-start petrol engines up to 5.0 litres and diesel engines up to 3.5 litres with ease.

Compact and User-Friendly Design

Designed with user convenience in mind, the RCJS1700 is compact enough to fit comfortably in most vehicle boots or luggage compartments. It comes with its own set of battery leads and a protective carry bag, making it easy to store and transport. Its sealed AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery means there’s no risk of acid leaks if the unit tips over, providing added safety and peace of mind.

Strong Performance for Moderate to Large Engines

This jump starter supports a wide range of vehicles, predominantly petrol engines up to 5.0 litres and diesel engines up to 3.5 litres. This capability makes it an excellent choice for daily drivers, tradespeople, and those with larger cars or SUVs who require dependable jump-start power without the bulk of industrial units.

Advanced Safety Features

Jump-starting can be a daunting task, but the RCJS1700 simplifies it with built-in MOSFET technology. This protects against short circuits, reverse polarity connections, power surges, and sparking. It also includes warnings if connected to 24V batteries, preventing damage to the jump starter or vehicle. Additionally, it has a low-voltage alert that sounds when the internal battery is below 60%, so you know when it’s time to recharge.

Extra Features Beyond Jump Starting

Repco’s jump starter also acts as a power bank with two 2.4 amp USB ports, enabling you to charge phones, tablets, or other USB-powered devices while on the go. It features LED emergency lighting to provide illumination during night-time or roadside emergencies. The included smart charger plugs into a 240V supply and uses a three-stage charging process to safely recharge and maintain the jump starter.

Practical Usage Tips

• Connect the positive clamp to the battery’s positive terminal first, then attach the negative clamp to a grounded metal part of the vehicle, such as the chassis or engine block. Avoid the negative battery post to reduce sparking.
• Do not crank the engine for more than 5 seconds per attempt. Allow a minute between attempts to avoid damaging the jump starter or vehicle battery.
• Recharge the jump starter immediately after use and store it in a dry, secure place to ensure longevity.
