8.1AC Recharge

Recharge requires the use of the supplied VEC077EM Automatic Battery Charger. The charger must be powered from a 110 volt AC, 60 Hz North American standard household AC receptacle. Typical recharge time is ten hours

CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE THE VEC077EM CHARGER FROM ELECTROMATE’S POWER INVERTER. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE. HEAT WILL BE GENERATED AND THERE WILL BE A NET LOSS OF BATTERY ENERGY. YOU CAN POWER MOST OTHER APPLIANCE CHARGERS FROM THE POWER INVERTER. The battery charger is stored in the Charger Storage Hatch. Always remove the charger for use. Connect the red and black DC cable connector to the mating connector stored inside the charger storage hatch. The charger must be operated on a flat stable surface with free air space around it. (See Figure 8.) Keep charger 18 inches from the floor.

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE CHARGER INSIDE THE CHARGER STORAGE HATCH - IT WILL OVERHEAT AND SHUT DOWN. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CHARGER MAY RESULT.

As recharge progresses, the battery level LEDs will light one by one. Charge the ElectroMate until the Battery Status Display lights the FULL LED. Continue to recharge until the battery is fully charged. The charger is fully automatic and it can be left connected to ElectroMate indefinitely.

The charger can be connected to the supplied battery clamp adapter cable for directly charging a battery in a vehicle, boat or other engine starting battery. For complete operation of the VEC077EM charger away from ElectroMate, refer to the manual supplied with the charger. To ensure rapid charging of the battery, make sure that the inverter, compressor and lamp are turned off during recharging.

8.2DC Recharge

During an emergency when AC is not available to power the VEC077EM Automatic Battery Charger, DC charging is an option. Recharging ElectroMate’s internal battery from an external DC power source requires the use of the Jumper Cables. It is recommended that the engine be left running so the vehicle’s battery is not discharged.
