AC RECHARGE

AC recharge requires the use of the supplied AC/DC adapter. The adapter must be powered from 110 volt AC, 60
Hz North American standard household AC outlets. The battery status display will automatically activate during
AC recharge. As recharge progresses the red LEDs will light one by one. Charge the Power City until the battery
status display lights the green FULL LED. Continue to recharge for one to two hours, and then disconnect the AC
Recharger. AC recharge is an automatic float and taper charge and The AC Recharger can be left connected to the
main unit for long periods. See Figure 2 for AC recharge connection to the main unit. Refer to Section 7.2 for
recharge method.

Make sure that the inverter, compressor and lamp on/off Switches are in off position during AC recharging.

7.2

DC RECHARGE

Power City is supplied with two accessory cables. One cable is a black Inverter power cable with an attached thinner
lantern extension cord. It is to power the inverter when 

it 

is used with another accessory outlet in a vehicle or boat.

An attached thinner wire is dubbed lantern extension cord” and 

it 

is used to power the lantern. The DC recharge

cable has red and black wire and it mates with the inverter power cable to make a DC to DC cable.

After recharge, the accessory cables are stored in their own cable storage hatch in the main unit.

Recharging the main unit’s internal battery from an external DC power source requires the use of the DC recharge
cable and the inverter power cable. (See Figure 12) The lantern extension cord can be connected to the lantern to
simultaneously recharge the main unit and power the lantern (not shown).

Make sure safety on/off Switch, inverter, and compressor switches are in the off position during DC recharging.

Unlike the AC recharge method, DC recharge does not automatically activate the battery status display. To check
the battery status, press the Battery Status Display Push-button. If the jump-starter’s battery is fully discharged, 

it 

is

recommended that the host vehicle or boat’s engine being used for recharging be left operating while the unit is
being charged using the 12 volt DC/DC method.

WARNING: 

DO NOT recharge main unit for more than 8 hours maximum using 12 volt DC method. Do not

charge lantern for more than five hours using the dc recharge method.

1.

 

Remove both power cables from the cable storage hatch.

2. Insert the red DC recharge cable’s rectangular connector flat pins into the black rectangular connector on the

inverter power cable.

3. Insert black DC plug on the inverter power cable into a DC accessory socket on the main unit.
4. Plug the red DC plug into an accessory socket in a vehicle, power supply or other 12 volt DC source.
