Charging the Internal Battery

IMPORTANT: Charge the unit immediately after purchase, after each use, and every 30 days to maintain full charge and prolong battery life.

Checking Internal Battery Charge Level

Press the Battery Status button on the front of the unit. LED indicators show the charge level:

• Solid Green LED: 100%-70% charged.
• Solid Yellow/Orange LED: 70%-30% charged.
• Flashing Yellow/Orange LED: Less than 30% charged.

Charging via AC Power

Use an extension cord (not included). Connect the cord to the unit's charger plug and then to a 120V AC electrical outlet.

• During charging, the Yellow/Orange LED will illuminate until the charge reaches 70%.
• The Green LED will then become solid until fully charged.
• A pulsing Green LED indicates a fully charged battery.
• A full charge may take up to 72 hours.
• The charger automatically enters maintenance mode to keep the battery fully charged without damage. In maintenance mode, the Green LED pulses when no AC cord is connected.
• Charge the unit as soon as possible after each use.

Charging via Vehicle (Engine Running)

You can also charge the internal battery while driving using a male-to-male charging cable (p/n 94500109, not included).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHARGE THE INTERNAL BATTERY FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES, AND DO NOT LEAVE THE BATTERY UNATTENDED. IT MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.

1. Ensure the vehicle engine is running.
2. Insert one end of the charging cable into the unit's 12V DC socket.
3. Insert the other end into the vehicle's 12V accessory socket (cigarette lighter).

Note: The Green and Yellow/Orange LEDs do not function during this charging method. Using this method bypasses maintenance mode and may overcharge the battery.

To monitor charge progress, press the Battery Status button. When the battery is fully charged, first disconnect the charging cable from the portable power unit, then from the vehicle's accessory socket. Note: Disconnect the charger cable completely when the engine is not running.

Using the Portable Power Unit

IMPORTANT: Using the jump-start function without a vehicle battery installed will damage the vehicle's electrical system.

Jump Starting a Vehicle

1. Turn the vehicle engine OFF.
2. Keep the DC cables away from fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other moving parts.
3. For negative ground vehicles (most vehicles): Connect the RED clamp to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal. Then, connect the BLACK clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block, away from the battery.
4. For positive ground vehicles: Connect the BLACK clamp to the NEGATIVE (-) battery terminal. Then, connect the RED clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block, away from the battery.
5. Turn the jump starter switch to the ON position.
6. Crank the engine for no more than 8 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait 2 minutes before attempting again.
7. Once the engine has started, turn the switch to the OFF position and disconnect the portable power unit from the battery.
8. Charge the portable power unit.

Using the USB Port

Powering a 12V DC Device

The portable power unit can power any 12V DC accessory equipped with a 12V plug. Use it during power outages, camping, or other situations.

Note: Do not power a 12V device while the internal battery of the portable power unit is charging.

1. Ensure the device you wish to power is turned OFF before plugging it into the unit's 12V DC socket.
2. Open the protective cover of the unit's 12V DC power outlet.
3. Connect the 12V DC device to the power outlet and turn it ON (if necessary).
