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.

The CHARGING (red) LED and the CHARGED (green) LED do not operate during this method of charging. 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.

10.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

10.1Jump Starting a Vehicle Engine

Do not use the Instant Power™ while charging the internal battery.

1.Turn the vehicle’s ignition OFF before making cable connections.

2.Connect the Instant Power™ to the battery following the precautions listed in section 3.

Risk of Explosion.

If you have connected the clips backwards, an audio alarm will sound. DO NOT turn the On/Off switch to the ON position. This could cause serious damage to the Instant Power™ or the vehicle. Reverse the connections and the audio alarm will stop.

3.Crank the engine. If the engine does not start within 5-8 seconds, stop cranking and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to start the vehicle again. (This permits the Instant Power™ to cool down.)

4.After the engine starts, disconnect the black clip (-) and then the red clip (+) in that order and clip them back onto the Instant Power™ storage holders.

5.Recharge the Instant Power™ as soon as possible after use.

Risk of Explosion.

To prevent sparking, NEVER allow the clips to touch together or to contact the same piece of metal. Never attempt to jump start a frozen battery.

10.2Powering a 12V DC Device:

The Instant Power™ is a power source for all 12V DC accessories that are equipped with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power outages and fishing or camping trips.

Estimated usage time is listed in the chart below.

Make sure the device to be powered is OFF before inserting the 12V DC accessory plug into the 12V DC accessory outlet.

1.Ensure the battery clips are securely clipped on the storage holders.

2.Open the protective cover of the DC power outlet on the back of the Instant Power™.

3.Plug the 12V DC device into the DC power outlet, and turn the 12V DC device on (if required).

4.If the 12V DC device draws more than 15A or has a short circuit, the internal circuit breaker of the Instant Power™ will trip and disconnect the power to the device. If this occurs, disconnect the 12V DC device in question and press the reset button located on the back of the Instant Power™ to reset the circuit breaker.

The DC power outlet is wired directly to the internal battery. Extended operation of a 12V DC device may result in excessive battery drain. Recharge immediately after unplugging the 12V DC device.
