7.Charging the internal battery of the Jump starter

Important: charge immediately after purchase, after each use and every 30 days to keep the jump starter INTERNAL BATTERY FULLY CHARGED.

7.1To check the internal battery’s charge status, toggle the Light/Display switch to the DISPLAY position. The Digital Display will show the battery’s percent of charge. Charge the internal battery if the display shows it is under 100%

Note: 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.

7.2Charging the Internal Battery using the Included Wall Charger.

1.To charge, plug the included wall charger into the charger plug on the back of the jump starter.

2.Plug the wall charger into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet.

3.While the jump starter is charging, the battery’s percent of charge will be displayed. When the internal battery is fully charged, the display will show 100. Complete charging may take up to 72 hours. The jump starter is then ready to use.

4.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.

Do not use the jump starter while charging the internal battery.

You may also charge the internal battery while driving, using the male-to-male charger cable (p/n 94500109 – not included). Insert one end of the accessory cable into the 12V DC power outlet and the other end into the vehicle’s accessory outlet (lighter socket). Completely disconnect the charger cable when the engine is not running.

Using this method to charge the battery overrides the maintain mode and the battery can be overcharged. Monitor the progress of the battery and when it reaches a full (100%) charge, disconnect the charger. Do not leave the battery unattended or it could explode causing property damage or personal injury.
