Note:
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 40 hours.
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
when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging
to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use,
Black & Decker recommends the battery be recharged at least every 60 days.
Check the battery charge level by pressing the battery status button. The LED charge
status display will indicate the level of battery charge. When only one red LED
lights, recharge the unit.
Note:
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy
discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
The battery can be recharged using either the AC or DC Charging Adapter (see below).

CAUTION
Make sure the ON/OFF Power Switch and Emergency Area Light are
turned OFF during recharging, as this may slow the recharge function.
120 Volt AC Charging/Recharging
The 120 Volt AC Charging Adapter is a UL listed "wall" type unit that operates from
any 120 volt, 60 Hz AC supply that has a standard North American outlet. The
adapter has a barrel connector that plugs into the unit's 120 Volt Recharging Port.
Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch and Area Light Power Switch are turned
OFF during AC charging/recharging. When the 120 Volt AC Charging Adapter is
plugged into the 120 Volt AC Recharging Port, the Battery Charge Status LED
Indicators will automatically light. As recharge progresses, the red LEDs will light,
one by one. Charge the unit until the green FULL LED indicator flashes. Continue to
recharge for one to two hours, then disconnect the Charging Adapter. The AC
recharge system is an automatic taper charge and can be left connected to the main
unit for long periods (the unit cannot be "overcharged" using this method).
12 Volt DC Charging/Recharging
Charging the Jump-Starter/Inflator 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.
Unlike the AC recharge method, DC recharge does NOT automatically activate the
Battery Status LED display. Battery status can still be monitored by pressing the
battery status level pushbutton.
WARNINGS
• DO NOT charge using the 12 volt DC method for more than 4 hours
maximum.

• DO NOT leave the unit unattended while charging using this method.
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 status level
pushbutton is pressed. DO NOT EXCEED 4 HOURS MAXIMUM.
4. When charging is complete, remove the charging cord and store in a safe place.
Notes:
Make sure the ON/OFF Safety Switch and Area Light are turned OFF during
recharge as this may slow the recharging process.
Some vehicles require that the ignition be switched to the accessory outlet
position in order to power the accessory outlet.
