Charging/Recharging

Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use, manufacturer recommends that the battery should be recharged at least every 30 days and after each use.

IMPORTANT: If you attempt to use the unit when the unit’s battery charge level is too low, the unit will automatically shut down. Recharge the unit with all other functions turned off as soon as possible.

Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 40 hours. Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life. Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.

CAUTION – Risk of property damage: Failure to keep the battery charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting performance.

IMPORTANT: If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery icon displays four solid bars as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a charging power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance. The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging for a period of 40 hours using the built-in AC charger before use.

120 Volt AC Portable Power Supply

Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment

Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated is below 500 watts. If the power consumption is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to determine the wattage. Resistive loads are the easiest for this unit to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters), which require far more wattage than the unit can deliver on a continuous basis. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.

CAUTION: Rechargeable devices

• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine if it produces excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with this inverter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The inverter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.

Note: Some laptop computers may not operate with this inverter.

Power Inverter Output Waveform

The AC output waveform of this inverter is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and small motors.

Protective Features

The inverter monitors the following conditions:

• Low internal battery voltage: The inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage drops too low, as this can harm the battery.
• High internal battery voltage: The inverter will automatically shut down when the battery voltage is too high, as this can harm the unit.
• Thermal shutdown protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when the unit becomes overheated.
• Overload/short circuit protection: The inverter will automatically shut down when an overload or short circuit occurs.

IMPORTANT NOTES: The AC Power Outlets provide a total power draw of 500W. When the AC Power Outlets are in use, the unit will monitor for the following fault conditions: thermal fault, low and high battery voltage fault, overload and short circuit.

Specific Safety Instructions for Charging This Unit

• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with a household extension cord for a full 40 hours before using for the first time. You cannot overcharge the unit using the AC charging method.
• To recharge this unit, use only the built-in AC charger.
• All Power switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make sure all switches are in the OFF position before connection to a power source or load.

Extension Cords

WARNING: Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. When using an extension cord, make sure that the pins of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger; and be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

When an extension cord is used, make sure that:

• the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger,
• the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
• the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger.

CAUTION – To reduce the risk of injury or property damage: Pull the extension cord by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting from the built-in 120 volt AC charger or the AC outlet.
