RECHARGE LEDS

Two recharge adapters are supplied with the SportSpot Lantern. It is recharge- able from either a DC cigarette lighter type 12-volt DC socket (accessory socket) or from any 110/120 volt 60 Hz AC receptacle. This permits recharge flexibility for use around home, business or in the field. The unit may be oper- ated during DC recharge from any 12 volt accessory socket able to supply at least 5 Amperes.
