IMPORTANT: CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH
USE AND EVERY 30 DAYS TO KEEP THE JUMP STARTER INTERNAL
BATTERY FULLY CHARGED.
To check the internal battery’s charge status, toggle the Light/Display switch 7.1
to the DISPLAY position. The Digital Display will show the battery’s percent of
charge. Charge the internal battery if the display shows it is under 100%
NOTE: Internal battery’s percent of charge is most accurate when the jump

Charging the Internal Battery using the Included Wall Charger.7.2
To charge, plug the included wall charger into the charger plug on the back 1.
of the jump starter.
Plug the wall charger into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet.2.
While the jump starter is charging, the battery’s percent of charge will be 3.
displayed. When the internal battery is fully charged, the display will show
100. Complete charging may take up to 72 hours. The jump starter is then
ready to use.
The charger will automatically go into maintain mode and maintain the 4.
battery at full charge without damaging it.
Charge the jump starter as soon as possible after use.5.
Do not use the jump starter while charging the
internal battery.
You may also charge the internal battery while driving, using the male-to-male
charger cable (p/n 94500109 – not included). 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.
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 leave the battery unattended or it could explode causing property
damage or personal injury.
