The presence of a carbine or a convenient case in the kit simplifies storage and transportation of the device in the trunk.
Care, storage and service life
So Baseus launcher 20000mAh served long and reliably perform their functions, it is necessary to observe simple rules of operation.
Lithium polymer batteries used in boosters are sensitive to storage conditions and charge-discharge cycles.
It is recommended to carry out preventive recharging of the device every 3-4 months, even if it was not used.
This will prevent the deep discharge of the power cells, which can lead to irreversible loss of capacity or failure of the controller.
Store the device at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight and heat sources.
In winter, it is not recommended to leave the booster in the car in the cold for a long time (weeks and months).
Although operating temperatures are declared to be as low as -20°C, prolonged exposure to extreme cold reduces the effectiveness of the chemical reaction inside the battery.
It is better to bring the gadget into a warm room or keep in the glove compartment if the car is in the garage.
Can I charge the device while it is connected to the machine?
Absolutely not. You can charge the booster from the network only when it is disconnected from the car. Trying to charge it at the same time as trying to start or run can damage the controller.
How many times can you start a car with a single charge?
On average, one full charge Baseus 20000mAh is enough for 15-20 launches of a gasoline engine with a capacity of up to 2.0 liters. For diesel engines or larger volumes, the number of launches will be less (3-5 times) due to the high power consumption of the starter.
Is the device safe for modern cars with electronics?
Yeah, absolutely. The intelligent protection system levels the voltage and prevents jumps that could damage the sensitive electronics (ECUs, sensors) of modern cars. It's safer than lighting from another car.
What to do if the indicator flashes red?
Red flashing usually signals a connection error (overpole) or too low voltage at the terminals of the battery of the car (less than 2V). Check the correct connection of the clamps or try to first slightly recharge the regular battery for 2-3 minutes.
Can you carry a Baseus 20,000mAh on an airplane?
Yes, a capacity of 20,000 mAh (74 Wh) is within the IATA permitted limits for hand luggage (usually up to 100 Wh without special permission). However, in the checked baggage lithium batteries of high power to hand over is often prohibited, it is better to clarify the rules of the airline.
Following these simple guidelines will allow you to stay mobile and independent of your car’s battery status.
The investment in a quality launcher pays off after the first use, when you do not have to look for help on the track.
