Battery Time Management

Time away from home is almost limitless by combining the use of the AC
power supply, DC power cable and battery modules. To ensure the batteries
maintain their optimal charge level, utilize the AC power supply whenever
you have access to electric power. Utilize the DC power supply whenever
you are in a vehicle.
