10. Although the unit is now ready to be used, it is
highly recommended to allow the ToughPower to
complete a full charge so the internal battery monitor gets synchronised with the battery state of
charge. If you don’t do this you will only ever see the Voltage displayed on the LCD, and no % or
time
predictions
will
be
displayed.
The
easiest
way
to
achieve
this
is
with
the
Mains
Charger
(though
you
can
use
Solar
or
Car
charging)
a. Plug
the
desired
input
charge
source
(Mains
-
Kettle
cord)
b. Wait
until
charging
is
FULL
or
Battery
percentage
shows
100%
