This Portable Power 1150 comes with a sealed, non-spillable DieHard maintenance-free lead-acid battery. This internal battery is specifically designed to deliver high power jump-starting as well as repetitive deep cycling performance.

To charge the Portable Power 1150’s internal battery:

3.1Check the internal battery’s charge level by pressing the switch marked DISPLAY. The Digital Display will show the battery’s percentage. Charge if under 100%

Note: Internal battery’s percentage is most accurate when the Portable Power 1150 has been disconnected from all devices and charging sources for 1 - 24 hours.

3.2To charge, plug the (external) wall charger cord into the socket on the back of the 1150. Then, plug the wall charger into a 120V AC source.

CAUTION: Operating the Portable Power 1150 while the internal battery is being charged may cause permanent damage to the unit.

3.3While the 1150 is charging, the battery’s percentage of charge will be displayed. When the internal battery is fully charged, the display will show 100. Complete charging may take up to 48 hours. The 1150 is then ready to use.

3.4Once the battery is fully charged, the internal charging circuitry automati- cally switches to float-mode monitoring, which keeps the battery fully charged without overcharging.

The internal battery may also be charged while you drive using the male- to-male accessory cable (available separately, see “Accessories and Re- placement Parts” section of this manual). 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 accessory cable when the engine is not running.
