2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS
2.1. Introduction
Many of today's vehicles are crammed with sensitive electronic equipment including ECUs, Air Bag sensors, Digital Dashes, Alarms, Car Radios,
Telephones and In-Car Security Systems. The potential for damage to these items from carrying out even basic work on the vehicle is huge.
Transient spikes and surges generated by making/breaking contacts can 'fry' electronic cards or, at the very least, lead to premature failure.
By using the PROJ Surge Protected Booster Cables, you will protect not only your own vehicle from these dangers, but also the 'sick' vehicle.
The LED glows when protection is in place and it is safe to proceed with jump-starting. GS/TUV Approved.
