    All lead-acid batteries suffer from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, these types of batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When Power City is not in use Vector recommends that the batteries be recharged at least every 60 days.

  • Page 15: Ac Recharging

    AC RECHARGE AC Recharge requires the use of the supplied AC/DC Adapter. The adapter must be powered from 110 volt AC, 60 Hz North American standard household AC receptacles. The Battery Status Display will automatically activate during AC recharge. As recharge progresses, the red LEDs will light one by one.
