Power City is supplied with two accessory cables. One cable is a black Inverter power cable with an attached thinner
lantern extension cord. It is to power the inverter when
An attached thinner wire is dubbed lantern extension cord" and
cable has red and black wire and it mates with the inverter power cable to make a DC to DC cable.
After recharge, the accessory cables are stored in their own cable storage hatch in the main unit.
Recharging the main unit's internal battery from an external DC power source requires the use of the DC recharge
cable and the inverter power cable. (See Figure 12) The lantern extension cord can be connected to the lantern to
simultaneously recharge the main unit and power the lantern (not shown).
