If the charge is very low the battery will take approximately 12
hours to reach maximum capacity when using the supplied mains

of charge

The battery will also charge from the 12 volt cigarette lighter
socket of your vehicle using the lead provided. It is recommended
that it is not left in this mode of charging for longer than 3 hours.

maintained battery
