The Hight Power USB Port has been designed for charging your iPad.
You can also charge any other device on this port. If your device needs more power, it will charge faster on this port. If not, your device will also be charged perfectly fine.
While you recharge tizi Kraftprotz other devices cannot be charged.
There is no risk to your connected device no matter which port you attach it to.
Depending on the charger you are using it takes from eight to ten hours to fully charge your tizi Powerstart.
To quickly charge, you’l need a charger with at least 2A current. Ideal chargers are the tizi Tankstation, the tizi Tankstelle or the tizi Turbolader.
Turn the flaschlight of your tizi Kraftprotz Powerstart on and off by a longer push of the status button.
Press the status button twice to activate the SOS function of the flashlight. One longer push will deactivate it again.

The quick jump start option is only recommended for smaller cars. Each quick jump start uses a lot of energy and is a wearing process. This method is only recommended for when it really has to be fast.
If you don't use your tizi Kraftprotz Powerstart for a longer period of time, we recommend not to keep it fully charged.
A fully charged, unused battery looses capacity over time. It is therefore recommended to recharge the battery once every three months.
- With cheaper power adapters, the communication protocol is often missing, meaning the adapter and the iPhone / iPad are unable to communicate properly. If an iPhone / iPad gets a strange result from the power supply when the performance data is exchanged (e.g. the protocols of both devices do not understand each other), then an iPhone only charges with a maximum of 500mA, which is very very slow. In this case, the iPad will show the "Not charging" message. The iPhone / iPad does this in order to prevent the power supply from becoming overloaded.
- Another problem is possible overload - leading to a fire hazard. For example, this could occur if the cheap power supply tells the iPhone / iPad that it is able to charge up to 2.4A. If an iPad then requests this current during the charging process, the power supply will become overloaded. In the best case, it will simply turn off. However, it could also overheat and catch fire.
