cHARGING/REcHARGING

Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All
batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures.
Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the
unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least every 30 days.
WARNING: Never attempt to use the AC and DC charging methods at the same time.
Notes:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should
be for 40 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will
reduce battery life.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
charging/Recharging using the 120 Volt Ac charger and a Standard Household
Extension cord (not included)
1. Lift the cover built-in 120 volt AC charger located on the lower left front of the unit (refer to the
Features section to locate). Connect an extension cord to the unit. Plug the other end of the cord
into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
2. Charge until two red LeD battery status indicators light and one green LeD battery status indicator

lights or flashes.
3. Disconnect the extension cord.
Notes:
The unit cannot be overcharged using the AC method.
The unit will not charge if the inverter power switch is turned on.
12 Volt Dc charging Method (may be sold separately)
The DC recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging from 120 volt AC.
The 12 volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, since frequent use
of the 12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system's life.
Charging the unit from an external 12 volt DC power source requires the use of the 12 Volt DC
adapter. This adapter has a male DC connector at each end.
1. Insert the gold-tipped 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter plug into the vehicle's 12 volt DC accessory

outlet.
2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 volt DC accessory outlet on the front panel of the unit.
3. Charge the unit until the green FULL indicator lights when the Battery Power Level Button is
pressed (with the adapter unplugged from the unit). DO NOT ChARGe MORe ThAN 6 hOURS
