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: 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.
CAUTION – RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE: Failure to keep the battery 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.
