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.

5.1 LED Indicators:

To check the internal battery's charge
status, press the Battery Status button on
the front of the jump starter.
The LED lights will indicate the charge
level as follows:
• A red LED indicates a 50% or less
charge and you should immediately
recharge the jump starter.
• A yellow LED indicates a 50 to 75%
charge. The jump starter may be used
but should be recharged as soon as
possible.
• A green LED indicates the internal
battery is fully charged.
• The CHARGING (red) LED indicates the
jump starter is charging (connected to
an AC power source.) At full charge, the
CHARGED (green) LED will light.
5.2 Charging the Internal Battery using the
Built-In Charger:
1. Plug an 18 gauge (AWG) or larger
extension cord into the charger plug on
the back of the jump starter. (Extension
cord not included; must be purchased
separately.)

electrical wall outlet.

indicating charging.
4. The CHARGED (green) LED will light
when the battery has reached full
charge. This could take up to 72 hours
due to the age and condition of the
battery. The charger will automatically
go into maintain mode and maintain the
battery at full charge without damaging it.
5. Charge the jump starter as soon as
possible after use.
You may also charge the internal battery
while driving, using a male-to-male
charger cable (part number 3899001564
– sold separately). Insert one end of
the accessory cable into the 12V DC
power outlet and the other end into the
vehicle's accessory outlet (lighter socket).
Completely disconnect the charger cable
when the engine is not running.
IMPORTANT: The CHARGING (red) LED
and the CHARGED (green) LED do not
operate during this method of charging.
Using this method to charge the battery
overrides the maintain mode, and the
battery can be overcharged. Monitor
the progress of the battery, and when it
reaches a full (100%) charge, disconnect
the charger. Do not charge for more than
four hours and do not leave the battery
unattended or it could explode causing
property damage or personal injury.
