To charge, flip the AC connector
on the back of the unit down
and plug in an 18 AWG or larger
extension cord.
2.
Plug the extension cord into a
120VAC electrical wall outlet.
3.
While the unit is charging, the
RED LED
will be on. Complete
charging may take up to 72
hours. When the
RED LED
turns
off, the unit is ready to use.
4.
When the internal battery is
fully charged, the charger will
automatically go into maintain
mode and maintain the battery
at full charge without damaging
it. When in maintain mode,
the
GREEN LED will pulse
,
as long as there is an AC cord
connected to the charging port.
5.

possible after use.
4.3 CHARGING THE INTERNAL
BATTERY WHILE DRIVING
You may also charge the internal
battery while driving, using a male-
to-male charger cable (part number
94500109 – sold separately).
IMPORTANT:
WHEN USING A
12V PORT CHARGING CABLE,
DO NOT CHARGE INTERNAL
BATTERY FOR MORE THAN
30 MINUTES OR LEAVE THE
BATTERY UNATTENDED. IT
COULD EXPLODE, CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
1.
Make sure the car is running.
2.
Insert one end of the accessory
cable into the 12V DC power
outlet.
3.
Insert the other end of the
accessory cable into the
vehicle’s accessory outlet
(lighter socket).
NOTE:
The
RED LED
does not
operate during this method of
charging. Using this method to
charge the battery overrides the
maintain mode and the battery can
be overcharged.
4.
Monitor the progress of the
charge by pressing the Battery
Status button on the front of
the unit. When the battery is
fully charged, disconnect the
accessory cable from the unit,
then from the lighter socket of
the vehicle.
NOTE:
Completely disconnect the
charger cable when the engine is
not running.

After the engine starts, remove
the unit from the battery.
