5. Charge the unit until the green CHARGED indicator is lit when the Charge Status Button is
pressed - DO NOT EXCEED 8 HOURS MAXIMUM.
6. After charging, disconnect the cables and store them in the Cable Storage Hatch.

ALTERNATE DC RECHARGE
If the Inverter is removed from the Main Unit, the DC Recharge Cable can be directly connected
to the black power connector that mates with the Inverter's flat power pins. In this way, the
Inverter and Inverter Power Cable can be used away from the Main Unit and DC Recharge can
be accomplished. Follow the same charging time and monitor the battery charging by using the
Battery Status Push-button and Display.
7.4
SIMULTANEOUS DC RECHARGE AND INVERTER OPERATION
Connecting the Inverter Power Cable and the DC Recharge Cable makes a heavy-duty DC-to-
DC Cable that can simultaneously recharge the Main Unit and operate the Inverter while it is
mounted on Power City. Plug One DC Plug into Power City Accessory Socket and the other DC
Plug into a vehicle accessory socket. When using with AC appliances that draw over 120 watts
and at the same time the Power City’s Battery is deeply discharged, this could draw more than
the vehicle's accessory socket's fuse can handle and result in a blown fuse. Use this method with
caution. Periodically monitor DC recharge using the Battery Status Pushbutton and Indicators.
