system also comes with a DC/DC charging adapter for recharging the
unit from a 12 volt DC accessory outlet in a vehicle or boat.
12 volt DC to DC method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as
recharging from a 110/120 volt AC outlet. The 12 volt DC recharging
procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, as continued use of the
12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.
If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for
recharging be left running while the unit is being charged using the 12 volt DC
method.
