Charging/Recharging

Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance for optimal performance. Batteries naturally lose energy over time. Periodic charging is necessary to replace this lost energy. It is recommended to recharge the battery at least every 30 days if the unit is not in frequent use.

Initial Charge: The unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge the unit for 40 hours or until the green LED Battery Status Indicator lights solid before first use.

Recharging After Use: Recharging the battery after each use prolongs its life. Avoid frequent heavy discharges between recharges.

Charging Precautions: Ensure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging to prevent slowing the process. If the green LED lights immediately upon plugging in the charger, the battery may be at a high impedance stage; recharge for 24-48 hours.

[CAUTION]: Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting performance.

Charging/Recharging Using the 120 Volt AC Charger

1. Open the AC adapter cover on the back of the unit.
2. Connect an extension cord (not supplied) to the unit and plug the other end into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
3. Charge until the green LED Battery Status Indicator lights solid.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the extension cord.

Note: The unit cannot be overcharged using this method. The unit will not charge if the compressor power switch is turned on.

120 Volt AC Portable Power Supply

This unit features a built-in Power Inverter that provides up to 200 watts of AC power. It converts low voltage DC from the battery to 120 volts AC household power.

Power Inverter Output Waveform

The AC output waveform is a modified sine wave, suitable for most AC loads including linear and switching power supplies, transformers, and small motors.

Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment

Ensure the power consumption of the item to be operated is below 200 watts. For items rated in amps, multiply by 120 volts to determine wattage. The inverter may not run high-wattage resistive loads like electric stoves or heaters. Inductive loads may require more current than resistive loads of the same wattage.

Rechargeable Devices

[CAUTION]: Some rechargeable devices may damage the inverter or charging circuit if plugged directly into an AC receptacle. Monitor the device's temperature during initial use. If excessive heat is produced, do not use the device with this inverter.

Protective Features

The inverter monitors for:

• Low internal battery voltage
• High internal battery voltage
• Thermal shutdown protection
• Overload/short circuit protection

IMPORTANT NOTES: The Inverter Power/Fault Indicator (located inside the Translucent Inverter/USB Power Button) lights solid blue for normal operation and flashes blue for faults. If a fault occurs, disconnect all appliances, turn the inverter off, allow it to cool, ensure the appliance load is within limits (200W or less), and ensure adequate ventilation before proceeding.
