AC AND DC CHARGING/RECHARGING
Use a common household AC extension cord for charging (cord not supplied).
For maximum battery life, we recommend the unit be kept fully charged at all times. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life will be shortened.
•MAKE SURE ALL SWITCHES ARE TURNED OFF DURING RECHARGING.
•FULLY CHARGE THE UNIT USING THE 120 VOLT AC CHARGING METHOD BEFORE FIRST USE.
•Recharge the unit fully after each use.
•Recharge the unit every two months when it has not been used regularly.
Notes: Recharging the battery after each use prolongs battery life; frequent discharges between recharges reduces battery life.
The Power Center also comes with a 12 Volt DC charging adapter for recharging the unit from a 12 volt DC accessory outlet in a vehicle.
If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for recharging be left running while the unit is charged via the 12 volt DC method.
Viewing Battery Charge Status
Press the Battery Charge Level pushbutton to display battery status. The Battery Charge Level Indicator LEDs will light.
LEDs (from right to left):
•Red LED indicates a low battery charge.
•Two Red LEDs indicate a medium level or partially charged battery.
•Three Red and one Green LEDs indicates a full or high battery charge level.
