How to Get the Most Out of your Winplus Portable Jump Starter Kit
While our Winplus Car Jump Start Review gave a good background into the product, there are a few basic, common-sense tips that can help you get the most out of its use. First and foremost, if your engine dies after it has been fully charged by the Winplus realize that this is due to faults within your car’s own charging system.
So it is always important that you have your vehicle undergo a full maintenance check with a trusted mechanic in order to make sure that you do not have a bad alternator, wiring issues, or damaged voltage regulator, all of which can have a negative effect on how your car battery holds a charge. When connecting never take the red clamp and black clamp, and try to connect them at the same time. Whenever working on your car’s battery, please use protective safety glasses and gloves.

Check the state of your batteries connectors, as the charger may not work properly if your battery connectors are filthy, so make sure they are clean, with no rust, dust or debris. Always check to see that the blue plug is connected to the jump start socket on the Power Bank, located beneath the black cover, and never ever lean over the battery when you are connecting the cables.
Finally, always have your cars vehicle care and maintenance guide nearby. This is important in the instance when you realize that your car’s battery does not seem to be in an accessible area. Your vehicle guide should tell you exactly where and how to access the connectors.

I’ve attempted to use mine twice. It would not start two different vehicles. I’m glad I purchased mine at Costco for a easy return. I’ll be returning three in total. We need something that is reliable. I do not recommend this product at this point. The price should have been an indicator and my gut told me better.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Frustrating
Thanks for your comment. You should contact to the seller. He may change the battery or give you the solutions of this issue.

I need to know answer to the same thing. Mine is down to one light in 10 days. Tim
Good afternoon, we just purchased and am charging for the 1st time. Once fully charged how long is its shelf life maintaining a full charge when stored in the vehicle?
Thank you for your time and happy easter
Thanks, one of our editor reply you soon by email.
Can WinPlus start an engine that has a starting system but no battery? I have a generator that needs battery power to start. I generally use my truck to start it. I see that the Red green indicator lites say OK charging when the jump clamps are plugged into the system.
Thanks for commenting.One of our editor shortly reply you.
I only used my winplus to charge my phones and it was doing great, However when I tried to charge it numerous times , even overnight it has never gone over 1/4 of circle and when the charger is removed, it becomes dead again.
It failed to work on my 3 series BMW.
Back to Costco for a refund.
Thanks for the comment. You may can’t configure it properly. You may contact to the manufacturer.
Unfortunately the WinPlus must be charged about every to weeks to maintain an optimum charge. Have only used mine once to start the car but it is useless after several weeks of just sitting.

I purchased my Portable power bank from Costco to start my ride on mower and it worked great for around 6 months however the second to last time i charged the unit it would not hold charge and the last time i tried to charge it would not charge at all.
It would appear that this particular unit has an issue as per the previous reviews.
One of our experts inbox you soon. Thanks
I bought my unit quite a while back. Used it twice. Did great. Bragged about it to everyone. However when I tried to charge it ( numerous times , even overnight ) it has never gone over 1/4 of circle.
I’ve been thinking about purchasing this unit, but the review is very concerning. Reliability is the number priority when it comes to jumping start.
Thanks for comment. You may buy without any hesitation. Thanks
