9. RECHARGING THE POWERPACK BATTERY
18.
You can recharge the battery using one of the following methods:
The AC Charger (supplied) plugged into a standard 110 V wall outlet.
Use the DC-to-DC charging cable (not supplied) with the cigarette 12V power
outlet in your vehicle as you drive.
CAUTION:
Do not operate AC or DC appliance while the Powerpack is being charged.
Charging with the AC charger
Using the AC Charger is the simplest method for recharging the battery. While charging
from an AC source, the charging status LED indicator will light red. When the battery has
reached capacity, the indicator will light green.
Charging when the battery is fully discharged takes around 28 hours.
NOTE:
Recharge the 450W FLEX POWERPACK XL as soon as possible after each use.
When not used the Booster Pack, it should be recharged every 3 months!
To recharge with AC charger:
(1)Turn the rotary switch to the “OFF” position.
(2) Plug 110V AC charger into charger input socket on the front of the unit.
(3) Plug 110V AC charger into 110V AC electrical socket.
(4)Never stop until the battery is fully charged for about 28 hours.
CAUTION:
The 28-hour charging time for the unit assumes that there is 110V at the AC wall
outlet. If the voltage is less than 110V AC, it may take more than 28 hours to fully
recharging.
Once fully charged, the charging current automatically reduces to a floating charge mode,
and the unit may be left permanently connected to the AC charger.

WARNING: Fire and Explosion Hazard
Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle’s electrical system operates above
15V. This may lead to accumulations of hydrogen, causing exposure to fire and
explosion hazard. This condition is typically found in marine appliances or portable
generators with DC output.
