4. CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY OF THE JUMP STARTER
IMPORTANT: CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH USE AND EVERY 30 DAYS,
TO KEEP THE UNIT’S INTERNAL BATTERY FULLY CHARGED AND PROLONG BATTERY LIFE.
4.1 CHECKING THE LEVEL OF THE INTERNAL BATTERY
Check the internal battery’s charge level by pressing the Display Button. The Digital Display will show
the battery’s percent of charge. Charge the internal battery if the display shows it is under 100%.
NOTE: The internal battery’s percent of charge is most accurate when the jump starter has been
disconnected from all devices and charging sources for a few hours.
4.2 CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
Charge the internal battery of the jump starter using an extension cord (not included).
NOTE: Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of re and electric shock.
1. Plug an extension cord into the charger port on the back of the jump starter.
2. Plug the extension cord into a 120VAC electrical wall outlet. While the jump starter is connected to an
AC outlet, the green LED on the back of the unit will be on.
3. Monitor the progress of the charge by pressing the display button on the front of the unit. When the
internal battery is fully charged, the display will show 100. Complete charging may take up to 15 hours.
The jump starter is then ready to use.
4. When fully charged, the charger will automatically go into maintain mode and maintain the battery at full
charge without damaging it.
5. Charge the jump starter as soon as possible after use.
4.3 CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY WHILE DRIVING
You may also charge the internal battery while driving, using a male-to-male charger cable (part number
94500109 – not included).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHARGE INTERNAL BATTERY FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES OR LEAVE THE
BATTERY UNATTENDED. IT COULD EXPLODE, CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Make sure the car is running.
2. Insert one end of the accessory cable into the 12V DC power outlet.
3. Insert the other end of the accessory cable into the vehicle’s accessory outlet (lighter socket).
NOTE: The GREEN LED does not operate during this method of charging. Using this method to charge the
battery overrides the maintain mode and the battery can be overcharged.
4. Monitor the progress of the charge by pressing the display button on the front of the unit. When the
battery is fully charged, disconnect the accessory cable from the jump starter, then from the lighter
socket of the vehicle.
NOTE: Completely disconnect the charger cable when the engine is not running.
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 JUMP STARTING A VEHICLE
