Controls and Indicators
Applications
• Jump-start most vehicle batteries with a standard 12 volt DC system: small truck, car, RV, tractor, etc.
• Inflate (using inflator) tires, air mattresses, basketballs, volley balls, and more.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose
energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries
need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not
in frequent use,
Black & Decker recommends the battery be recharged at least every 60 days.
Check the battery charge level by pressing the battery status button. The LED charge
status display will indicate the level of battery charge. When only one red LED lights,
recharge the unit.
When the battery is overly discharged and if the green LED is lit when the charger is
plugged in, this indicates the battery is at a high impedance stage.
In this event, recharge the unit and leave the unit on charge for a period of 48hrs before
using the unit.
Notes:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before
using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 48 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy
discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life. The
battery can be recharged using the AC Charging Adapter (shown).
