CARE AND MAINTENANCE

This product has a sealed lead acid battery that should be kept fully charged.
Recharge before first use, immediately after each use, and every 60 days if not
used. Failure to do this may reduce the battery life dramatically.
Note:
This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it
before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be 40 hours.
Charging/Recharging
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long
battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly
when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging
to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in use, it is
recommended that the battery is recharged at least every 60 days.
Check the battery charge level by pressing the battery status button. The LED charge
status display will indicate the level of battery charge. When only one red LED
lights, recharge the unit.
Note:
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy
discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
The battery can be recharged using an AC or DC adapter (see below).

AC Recharge
The AC recharge adapter is a UL listed "wall" type unit that operates from any
120 volt, 60 Hz AC supply that has a standard North American outlet. The adapter
has a barrel connector that plugs into the unit's recharge port.
Make sure the Jump-Starter Power Switch and Area Light Power Switch are turned
OFF during AC recharge. When an AC recharge adapter is plugged into the
recharge port, the battery charge level display will automatically activate. As
recharge progresses, the red LEDs will light, one by one. Charge the unit until the
battery charge level display lights or flashes the green FULL LED. Continue to
recharge for one to two hours, and then disconnect the recharge adapter. AC
recharge system is an automatic taper charge and can be left connected to the main
unit for long periods. (See the illustration on page 2 of this manual for AC recharge
port location).
