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.
CAUTION: RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE: Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent
damage and result in poor jump starting performance.
IMPORTANT: If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery status indicators light as if the unit is fully
charged when connected to a charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high
impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging for a period of 40 hours using the built-in AC
charger before use.
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.
Charging/Recharging Using the 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter (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 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter plug with the grooved tip into the vehicle's 12 volt DC accessory
outlet (or other DC power source).
2. Insert the remaining 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter plug into 12 volt DC accessory outlet on the front panel of
the unit.
