Description
CS02-Basic: Compact Jump Starter, Air Compressor and Power Bank
Start the bike or mower, pump the tyres and charge your phone from one small unit
This compact lithium polymer jump starter lives in your glovebox and handles the three things that go wrong on the road: a flat battery, a soft tyre and a flat phone.
Connect the clamps, start your vehicle and carry on. If a tyre is low, the built-in digital air compressor takes it up to the pressure you set.
What It Starts
Suitable for motorbikes, ride-on mowers and small cars with petrol engines under 3L, and small diesel engines such as generators up to 2L. It is rated for 12V batteries up to 480 CCA. Our own ride-on mower, for example, has a 340 CCA battery.
Petrol engines take less power to turn over than diesels of the same size, because diesels run much higher compression. That is why this unit is rated for a larger petrol engine than diesel engine. It is not suited to diesel vehicles.
If the vehicle’s battery is only partly flat, the jump starter has less work to do and can often start a larger engine. If the battery is completely dead or damaged, even a larger jump starter may not start it, and the battery may need replacing. Cold weather and engines that have stood for a long time also make starting harder. If in doubt, choose the next group up.
For bigger engines, see our other jump starters: see Group 2 and above.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is forced start mode?
If the vehicle’s battery is too flat for the jump starter to detect it, the forced start button on the unit lets you start anyway. The button is on the side of the jump starter, not on the clamps as on most models. Forced start does not add power. It overrides the unit’s checks.
Warning: use forced start only when the normal start does not work, and only when the clamps are connected the right way round. All safety protections are turned off while forced start is active, and improper use may result in personal injury.
Can I charge my phone with it?
Yes. The USB-A port outputs 5V/2A.
How do I charge the jump starter?
Use the USB-C port. The supplied cable is USB-A to USB-C, so you can charge it from the phone charger you already have. On a Quick Charge (QC) or USB-C fast charger of 18 W or more, a full charge takes about 2 hours (we measured about 16 W through a QC USB-A charger with the supplied cable). Slower chargers take longer.
We sell a certified 65W USB-C and USB-A AC charger that suits it: see the charger. The unit only draws what it needs, up to 18 W.
How big a tyre can it inflate?
The unit is rated for tyres within 31 inch and inflates to a maximum of 40 psi, which suits motorbikes, small cars, trailers, bicycles and sports balls. Its operating range is 3 to 150 psi, but it is not designed to inflate tyres above 40 psi.
What happens if I connect the clamps the wrong way?
The unit detects reversed polarity, sounds a warning and blocks the output. Always connect red to positive (+) and black to negative (-).
