The TI4200 GPU-24 incorporates a backcharge feature that enables the unit
to be recharged from the vehicle once the engine is started and the starter/
generator is running. This feature will enable you to start multiple vehicles
without reconnecting to ac power if the GPU is allowed to backcharge for
approximately 30 seconds.
Plug the TI4200 GPU-24 into AC power to keep the cells charged whenever
it is not in use, even if it is at Full Charge. The unit will not overcharge or
overheat.
