Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 🤔
- Q: Does this unit come with a DEWALT® 20V battery?
A: No, the DEWALT® 20V MAX* or FLEXVOLT® battery pack is not included and must be purchased separately or used from your existing DEWALT® tool collection. - Q: Can the DXAEOBD jump-start a dead car battery?
A: No, this device is a battery maintainer, not a jump starter. It’s designed to keep a healthy battery topped up, preventing discharge. It cannot provide the high amperage needed to start a vehicle with a dead battery. Use a dedicated dewalt battery charger & maintainer or jump starter for that purpose. - Q: How long will it maintain my car battery?
A: The duration depends on the state of charge of your vehicle’s battery and the capacity of the attached DEWALT® 20V battery pack. - Q: Is this dewalt battery charger & maintainer waterproof?
A: The product information does not specify waterproofing. It’s best to assume it is not waterproof and keep it dry during operation and storage. - Q: What does the LED light indicate?
A: The LED indicator shows the charging/maintenance status. Refer to the specific product manual (if available) for exact light code meanings.
