3.1110/120 VOLT AC CHARGING

1.Plug the barrel connector end of the AC/DC adapter into the small barrel receptacle port on the jump-starter.

2.Plug the AC/DC adapter/charger into any standard 110/120 volt AC wall outlet.

3.After initial 48 hour charge, charge this device for at least 24-30 hours or until the green FULL indicator lights. Charge at least once a month when not in use.

4.When charging is complete and the FULL light lights, remove the AC/DC charger plug and store in a safe place.

NOTE: The unit cannot be overcharged using the AC method. The VECTOR® system also comes with a DC/DC charging adapter for recharging the unit from a 12 volt DC accessory outlet in a vehicle or boat.

12 volt DC to DC method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging from a 110/120 volt AC outlet. The 12 volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when it is necessary, as continued use of the 12 volt DC recharging procedure may shorten the battery system’s life.

If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for recharging be left running while the unit is being charged using the 12 volt DC method.

WARNING:

Do not recharge for more than 3-4 hours maximum using 12 volt DC method.
