5. CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY OF THE JUMP STARTER

IMPORTANT!
CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER
PURCHASE, AFTER EACH USE AND
EVERY 30 DAYS, TO KEEP THE UNIT'S
INTERNAL BATTERY FULLY CHARGED
AND PROLONG BATTERY LIFE.
To check the internal battery's charge
status, make sure the rotary switch is in the
OFF position, then press the display button
on the front of the jump starter. The digital
display will show the battery's percent of
charge. A fully charged battery will read
100%. Charge the internal battery if the
display shows it is under 100%. Complete
charging may take up to 48 hours.
5.1 Grounding and AC Power Cord
Connections
IMPORTANT: Only use the charger that
was included with the jump starter to
charge the internal battery of the jump
starter. Using a different charger could
result in personal injury or property
damage.
WARNING!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
This battery charger is for use on a
nominal 120V circuit. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The plug pins
must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not use
with an ungrounded system.
DANGER. Never alter the AC cord or plug
provided – if it does not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. An improper connection can
result in a risk of an electric shock or
electrocution.
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
• That the pins on the plug of the extension
cord are the same number, size and
shape as those of the plug on the charger.
• That the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition.
• That the wire size is large enough for the
AC ampere rating of the charger,
as specified:

go into maintain mode and maintain the
battery at full charge without damaging it.
6. When charging is complete, disconnect
the charger from the AC power. Then
remove the charger output cord from
the jump starter.
5.3 Charger Modes
Automatic charging mode
When an automatic charge is performed,
the charger switches to maintain mode
automatically after the battery is charged.
Aborted Charge
If charging cannot be completed normally,
charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the charger's output is shut off. The BAD
BATTERY
yellow/orange
LED will flash. Do not continue attempting
to charge the battery. Check the battery
and replace, if necessary.
Desulfation Mode
Desulfation could take 8 to 10 hours. If
desulfation fails, charging will abort. The
BAD BATTERY
and the yellow/orange
STATUS LED will flash.
Completion of Charge
When the internal battery is fully charged,
the display on the jump starter will show ioo.
Maintain Mode (Float-Mode Monitoring)
When the internal battery is fully charged
and the jump starter display shows ioo,
the charger has started maintain mode. In
this mode, the charger keeps the battery
fully charged by delivering a small current
when necessary. If the charger has to
provide its maximum maintain current for
a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into
abort mode (see Aborted Charge). This is
usually an indication of a bad battery; have
the jump starter checked.
