VIEWING BATTERY STATUS
To check the unit's battery charge level, press the Battery Status Button. The
Battery Icon will indicate the battery charge level as follows:
• If the battery charge level is at full capacity, four solid bars will display.
• If the battery is partially charged, two or three solid bars will display.
• If the battery is nearly empty, one solid bar will display. The unit should be
charged at this time.
• If the battery is completely empty, four blank bars will display. The unit
MUST be charged at this time or the unit's built-in low voltage protection
will activate. The empty Battery Status Icon will flash for a short period of
time before automatic shut down. The unit will not operate until the battery
is recharged.
CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and
long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self- discharge over time
and more rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic
charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in

frequent use, manufacturer recommends the battery should be recharged at
least every 30 days and after each use.
IMPORTANT: If you attempt to use the unit when the unit's battery charge level
is too low, the unit will automatically shut down. Recharge the unit with all
other functions turned off as soon as possible.
Notes:
CAUTION
charged will cause permanent damage and result in poor jump starting
performance.
IMPORTANT: If you know the unit is discharged, but the battery icon displays
four solid bars as if the unit is fully charged when connected to a charging
power source, this may be due to the internal battery having high impedance.
The manufacturer suggests leaving the unit charging for a period of 40 hours
using the built-in AC charger before use.
Charging/Recharging Using the Built-In 120
Volt AC Charger and AC Extension Cord (not
included)

This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it
before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge should be for 40 hours.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy
discharges between recharges and/or overcharging will reduce battery life.
Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can
slow the recharging process.
