Question: | Can the Truck PAC's battery be replaced? |
Answer: | Yes, call Technical Service at (913) |
Question: | Can the Truck PAC be recycled? |
Answer: | Yes, the environment was one of our main concerns in the development |
| and design of the Truck PAC. Most battery outlets can dispose of this |
| product at its life's end. In fact, your Truck PAC contains a sealed, non- |
| spillable lead acid battery and proper disposal is required by law. See |
| Battery Removal and Disposal Instructions. |
Question: | What is the ideal |
Answer: | Room temperature. The Truck PAC will also operate at below zero |
| temperatures, however its power will be reduced. Intense heat will |
| accelerate self discharge of the Truck PAC battery. |
Question: | I have a regular 10 amp battery charger, can I use it to recharge the |
| Truck PAC? |
Answer: | No, only the supplied wall charger should be used. |
Question: | Is the Truck PAC goof proof? |
Answer: | No, jump starting instructions must be followed. Read and understand all |
| safety and operating instructions in this manual and those found in the |
| owner’s manual of any vehicle being jump started before using your |
| Truck PAC. |
Question: | I'm recharging my Truck PAC. Should the green CHARGE COMPLETE |
| light immediately come on? |
Answer: | No. First the yellow CHARGING light will come on to indicate the |
| charging process is beginning. Then, the red POWER LEVEL lights come |
| on in sequence as the level of charge increases. Finally, the green |
| CHARGE COMPLETE light will come on, but only when the Truck PAC |
| approaches full charge. |
Question: | How long should I charge the Truck PAC? |
Answer: | It should be charged for a minimum of 30 hours when new. Your Truck |
| PAC can be left on the wall charger continuously. When recharging with |
| the wall charger, the Truck PAC should be charged for 4 to 6 hours per |
| light that remains unlit when the TEST button is pressed. |
Question: | How do I know when the Truck PAC is fully charged? |
Answer: | Follow all charging instructions. Remove the Truck PAC from the wall |
| charger and press the TEST button. If all power indicator lights come on, |
| it is fully charged. |
Question: | How can I test the battery in my Truck PAC to see if it needs to be |
| replaced? |
Answer: | We recommend that you use a 100 amp battery load tester. Load the |
| Truck PAC battery for 6 seconds with a 100 amp load and it should |
| maintain at least 9 Vdc. |
