Battery Charging
When the battery’s SoC is greater than 10% and while battery power is still engaged, you
may charge the battery by engaging power from the charging source.
When SoC is less than 10% but greater than 3%, and the reserve shutdown event has
occurred, press the Power button on the unit. While battery power is engaged, start
charging the battery from the charging source.
NOTE
: When charging, avoid using heavy loads to prevent prolonged charging time. Also,
avoid using heavy DC loads during charging to prevent the system from transitioning to
thermal protection mode.
To stop charging, disengage the power from any and all charging sources. Do not turn off
the unit to disconnect the battery while the system is charging.
