During internal testing of the SMARTPASS products referenced above, CTEK has discovered a risk for short circuits while incorrectly performing installation or service in the battery system, or while using the products without a complete understanding of the vehicle’s dual battery system.

Traditional jump starters often involve cables connecting two batteries, transferring power from a donor vehicle to the one with the dead battery. If these cables are not connected correctly, they can cause sparks or, in the worst-case scenario, even lead to a fire. An incorrect connection might reverse the polarity of the battery, potentially damaging the vehicle's electronics.
