3. Insert the AC Charger cable end into the Charger Input

Socket located on the unit’s right side below the AC

outlet.

4. As Portable Power 250 charges, the Recharge Indicator

will glow amber. A typical recharge may take up to 35

hours.

5. When fully charged, the Recharge Indicator changes to

green and Portable Power 250 is ready to use.

6. Once fully charged, charging current automatically

reduces to a low maintenance level and Portable Power

250 may be left permanently connected to the AC

Charger. In addition, should your utility power be

interrupted, the charging process will automatically

restart when power returns.

Note:

 Battery Level readings will not be accurate until the

battery has “rested” for 15 minutes after charging.

CAUTION: 

Do not use Portable Power 250 to operate any

AC products or DC accessories while charging with the AC

Charger.

8.3  Recharging from Your Vehicle

Using the DC Charging Cable, Portable Power 250 can be

recharged as you drive. Simply plug either end of the DC

Charging Cable into Portable Power 250’s DC Power Socket and

the other end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket or 12-

volt accessory outlet.  Most of Portable Power 250’s capacity

will be restored in 1 to 3 hours while the motor is running.

Although the charge regulation circuitry in Portable Power 250

does not operate with this charging method, most vehicle

voltage regulators will ensure Portable Power 250 is not

overcharged. This charging method must not be used with

vehicles having abnormally high voltage electrical systems that

operate above 15 volts DC.  Disconnect the DC Charging Cable

from both sockets once Portable Power 250 is fully charged or

when your vehicle’s motor is not running.  Do not leave

Portable Power 250 permanently connected to the vehicle’s

lighter socket or 12-volt accessory outlet.

CAUTION: 

While Portable Power 250 is being recharged

with the DC Charging Cable from your vehicle, do not

operate  AC  products  over  120  Watts  from  the  AC  inverter

at  the  same  time.
