Does this charger have a reverse connection alarm? I've heard people frying their car computer by accidentally hooking up jump starters to the wrong pole.

I replaced the vehicle that I used to need it for so haven't used it for so long that I don't recall any details.But the sturdy attachment clamps are large and very conspicuously RED and BLACK so it would be pretty hard to confuse them.

NO. red and black. red is positive black is ground. So if you can tell the positive you hook the unit red to that terminal. Black can go to the other terminal or to metal on the car.

I can't say for sure but I always follow the old rule that says. Measure twice, cut once. Take extra care and there should be no problem. I use this booster only a couple of times a year on a 40 year old classic and it always fires instantly. Good Luck.

you connect the + plus side to your back up lights wiring cable you haft to find the 2 wires going to back up lights .Take back brake leinze or unit off to see the 2 wires going to back up light . one wire will be hot (voltage) when you put car in reverse .The other wire will be ground. the car chassis is ground so the screw you put in to the back up alarm and mount to frame will ground the unit. so all you need is the hot wire connection on light. so you may need a volt meter to measure witch wire is hot when in reverse hope this helps you .

I not sure but we have never damaged a charger by accidently hooking it to the battery wrong. You would more likely risk explosion or damage to the battery or sensitive electronics in the vehicle you are jump starting.

if you have the monitor connected to the ignition the red wire on the monitor , and the blue wire connected to the reverse light it will automatically come when you start the car with no signal dependent which input you use.

No, it automatically turns on when you place your vehicle in reverse. If you want beeping while in reverse, you need to get a back up alarm.

Basically an old wive's tale at this point. Modern chargers mostly detect when a battery is full and stop charging (or drop back to just trickle charging). I wouldn't worry about it unless a manual for a device specifically says to disconnect the charger after a full charge. There's so much mythology and repeated nonsense out there about batteries, chargers, and how they work!

yes it does have reverse, a cool alarm, lights and turn lights. With a full charge it can hit speed up to 43 mph. Always keep in mind its size because it will try to flip if you take turns to fast but I Love mine and it stayed charged for 2 weeks after I got it before I even had to charge mine. Hope this helps.

this charger does not have a start mode on it, the unit only puts out 12amps to start you will need a lot more then that. you should look at a larger unit with a start feature.

You can't prevent this of course, and most certainly the device warning you is likely the device causing the issue. That said if this is a concern for you and you are willing to invest a bit more you can install a remote start alarm with the cellular service add-on. If I am out for an extended period of time and should I receive an alert I can remotely start the car and let the battery charge back up. Not the cheapest approach but it works.

I have not found anything. Just assume it's a 5V input, and output is inverted (High input = relay OFF)

No it does not. Stock #56575 has a 15 amp circuit breaker built in and is resettable. That's about the only step up.

No, its a trickle charger and the current isn't enough to cause an overcharge. I have left it connected for long periods with out ill effect

I bought this charger to allow me to jump start my diesel pickup. While I have not had to jump start my pickup, I have used it to jump start both my tractor and my wife's car. It had plenty of power for both these jump starts.

Put the red insert back into the 'low power auto alarm' socket. It's between the battery test button and the place the charger plugs into.

Disconnect ANY battery charger from the vehicle, before running the vehicle. Slamming the battery and most importantly the electronics of the auto with two different charging inputs, is not a healthy idea for those auto computers.

No. It isn't a charger, it is a jump starter which means that it is just another battery used to temporarily "boost" the battery in the car that is weak. While this jump starter has a built-in charger for it's own battery, it cannot be used to charge your car battery--the selector switch/dial can either be set to "jump" (on) your car battery or "charge" (off) to charge itself, it will not allow the charger to function while the jump battery is connected to your car battery.

I dont believe it does. My car turns all power off to it when I turn the ignition off so has never been an issue for me.
