IMPORTANT:
Do not use and/or store the
Instant Power in or on any area or surface
where damage could occur if the internal
battery should unexpectedly leak acid.
10.5 IMPORTANT:
• CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER
PURCHASE
• KEEP FULLY CHARGED
•
Charge the Instant Power’s internal battery
immediately after purchase, after every use
and every 30 days.
•
All batteries are affected by temperature.
The ideal storage temperature is at
70° F. The internal battery will gradually
self-discharge (lose power) over time,
especially in warm environments. Leaving
the battery in a discharged state may
result in permanent battery damage. To
ensure satisfactory performance and avoid
permanent damage, charge the internal
battery every month.
