RECHARGING
1.
FOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOUR PORTABLE POWER
BE KEPT FULLY CHARGED AT ALL TIMES. IF THE BATTERY IS ALLOWED TO
REM AIN IN A DISC HARG ED ST ATE, B ATT ERY LIFE M AY BE SHOR TEN ED. TABLE 1
SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE FREQUENCY OF USE BETWEEN RECHARGING
AND THE EXPECTED NUMBER OF CH ARGE/RECHARGE CYC LES.

2.
THE TIME REQUIRED TO FULLY RECHARGE YOUR PORTABLE POWER AFTER
JUMP-STARTING AN ENGINE IS A FUNCTION OF HOW MANY JUMP-STARTS ARE
PERFORMED BETWEEN REC HARGING SESSIONS. TABLE II SHOWS THE
APPROXIMATE RECHARGING TIMES THAT YOU CAN EXPECT.

3. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHECK THE CHARGE IN YOUR PORTABLE POWER BY
DEPRESSING THE RED PUSH-BUTTON SWITCH. THE METER WILL SHOW THE BATTERY
CHARGE.
CHARGING
Plug the cable into the socket at the front of the unit, then the charger into the
1.
mains supply. The red LED will illuminate to denote charging is in progress.
Press the TEST button; it will indicate the level of charge. A built in safety
2.
device prevents overcharging.
Continue to charge until the charging light goes OUT, or the voltmeter registers
3.
14V or more when the TEST button is pressed.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT stop charging before the meter registers 14V.
At this point, once the charger is disconnected, the voltage will slowly settle back to read
100%, this is quite normal and indicates that the battery is at full capacity.
NOTE:
When the LED goes OUT, charging will automatically stop, indicating that the battery is
at maximum capacity, and the voltage will then slowly drop back to read 100%, as above.
To fully charge a battery could take up to 72 hours, depending upon the state of
discharge.
