Ensure the battery has been charged for several days before a major camping trip (Leave the Genius-II power supply on for at least 2 days, preferably 5 days, with battery connected.) -
Page 13: Storage
In normal use a battery connected to the Genius-II should never become deeply discharged, so recharging it should never be a problem. If a battery has become deeply discharged and the Genius-II will not charge it, remove the battery (see Battery Connection/Disconnection Procedure on page 12) and charge it with a stand-alone charger. -
