normal usage. However, under extreme usage or high discharge situations, recharge
the unit for up to 36 hours. This is not applicable to JNC660 models with auto
charging, which cannot be overcharged. These models can remain connected
continuously with no adverse consequences.
Charging using the supplied 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord. This alternative charging
method may be used when access to an AC outlet is unavailable.
