110/120-volt AC wall outlet.
2. Plug the 12-volt DC cigarette type plug (Fig. 5 #2) into the 12-volt DC receptacle on the unit.
3. Charge this device for at least 14-16 hours or until the FULL indicator is lit.
4. NOTE: The unit can be overcharged (which will shorten the life of the battery)—DO NOT charge with AC
charging procedure for more than 24 hours maximum.

4.2 12-Volt DC Charging

The INDUSTRIAL 900™ system also comes with a DC/DC charging cord, for recharging the unit from the 12-volt
DC cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle or boat. Note: This recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as
effectively as recharging from a 110-volt AC outlet. The 12-volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only
when it is necessary, as continued use of the 12-volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system's life.
