Before The First Use; A Comparison Of Ac And Dc Charging; Safety; Maintenance - Bontrager 407066 Manuel D'utilisation

The battery can be charged with either AC (Alternating Current, 110V ,
from the outlets of your home, for example) or DC (Direct Current, 12V ,
from the cigarette lighter of your car, for example). Two chargers are
supplied with the Power Charger, one for each power source.
Do not completely drain the battery of the Power Charger. If the bat-
tery runs low, the charging indicator turns yellow.
When charging the battery, place the Power Charger in a dry location.
The you will obtain the best results when the temperatures is between
65 and 75°F (18 and 24°C).

Before the first use

The Power Charger battery must be charged before its first use.

A comparison of AC and dC charging

The Power Charger battery uses 12V current. When you use AC charg-
ing, the 110V current is converted to 12V . The converter does not pro-
vide as much charging power as charging directly off of a 12V system.
With DC, the initial charge takes 5 to 6 hours. After the initial charge,
DC charging takes about 3 hours. If the battery is used too long,
recharging could take up to 7 hours
Because the AC charger must convert the electricity from 110V to 12V ,
the initial charge with the 110V charger takes about 14 to 16 hours.
After the initial charge, AC charging takes about 7 to 9 hours. If the
battery is used too long, recharging could take up to 20 hours.
After the battery is charged, the Power Charger is ready for use.

Safety

• Do not charge the battery at temperatures below 40°F (5°C) or above
105°F (40°C).

Maintenance

Charge the battery at least once every three months. If the battery is
completely drained and left for a month, the battery could lose the abil-
ity to charge.
