12 vdc charging
note: This system is equipped with a 12
VDC Cigarette Lighter Adapter so you
can charge the Jump-Start from a
vehicle or boat battery. This method
of recharging will not charge the
unit as fully as when using the 120
V~ charging method. Only use this
method in an emergency situation, as
this recharging method may shorten
the life of the Jump-Start.
5. Take out your 12 VDC Cigarette
Lighter Adapter (6). The adapter
has a cigarette lighter plug in one
end of the cord, and a round plug
on the other end. Plug the round
plug into the Recharging Receptacle
(See Figure 3). Plug the cigarette
plug into the vehicle or boat cigarette
lighter receptacle.

6. Charge the unit for the minimal time
needed (to at least 14 volts). Store
the Cigarette Lighter Adapter when
finished.
