VEHICLE BATTERY BOOSTING USING THE DC CHARGING ADAPTER
CAUTION —Do not leave the DC Charging Adapter connected to the vehicle’s lighter socket when
starting the vehicle. Remove the DC Charging Adapter before starting the vehicle. This will prevent
the vehicle’s DC socket fuse from blowing.
In some cases when the vehicle battery has enough power to crank the engine, but not enough to
start the vehicle, the DC Charging Adapter can be used to provide enough charge to the vehicle’s
battery to start. Make sure the Solar e Power Case is fully charged. The following procedure
outlines this process:
1. Make sure the Inverter switch is OFF and all appliances have been disconnected from the
Accessory Outlets and USB ports.
2. Plug one end of the DC Charging Adapter to your vehicle’s cigarette lighter (accessory) socket.
You may need to switch the ignition key to the “Accessory” position to supply power to the
lighter socket. Be sure to turn off any lights or accessories such as radio or A/C fan that may
be operating from the vehicle’s battery.
3. Plug the other end into the DC Outlet on the Solar e Power Case Front Panel.
4. Wait 15 minutes while the Solar e Power Case trickle charges you vehicle’s battery.
5. Remove the DC Charging Adapter from the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket before attempting
to start the engine.
6. If your vehicle engine cranks but does not start, investigate for other problems.
7. Store the DC Charging Adapter in the Storage Hatch.
8. Charge the Solar e Power Case as soon as possible.
