Operating manual
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Designed for vehicles equipped with a 12 V (GYSCAP 680E) or 24 V (2x 12 V, GYSCAP 24V) batter y, this autono-
mous starter
is equipped with supercapacitors. It uses the battery voltage of a running vehicle to recharge itself and within seconds
it will start the engine of a broken down vehicle.
DISCHARGING AND RECHARGING CHARACTERISTICS OF SUPERCAPACITORS
Characteristics of supercapacitors:
- they have significant natural self-discharge (see graph below) .
- they can accept a high charging current and can therefore be recharged very quickly (e.g. on a running engine in
a vehicle).
It is not necessary to keep a GYSCAP charged.
It is not necessary to charge a GYSCAP one or more days before use, as you may find it partially or
totally discharged when you come to use it (graph).
The main advantage of a GYSCAP is that it requires no maintenance (no loss of performance) and can be re-
charged very quickly, in just a few seconds/minutes before use.
GYSCAP CHARGE STATUS
Press the Power button.
The internal capacity status of the GYSCAP is displayed.
The digital display shows a single bar: The capacity of GYSCAP is insufficient.
Refer to the paragraph "Rec harging the GYSCAP" .
The digital display shows four bars: The GYSCAP is not fully charged, but it is possible to start a
vehicle.
It is still recommended to charge it fully, see the «charging the
GYSCAP ».
The digital display shows six bars: The GYSCAP is fully charged, so the starting capacity is optimal.
