Recharging with a Generator’s 12 Volt DC Outlet
You can recharge the battery of the Jazz PP 300 C using a
generator in several ways:
Using the AC Charger to recharge the Jazz PP 300 C
from a generator is possible, but would require extended
generator running time.
Using a generator which has an auxiliary regulated 12
volt DC output designed for charging 12 volt batteries.
Most generators are equipped with them. Use this power
source for faster charging.
Using a generator with a lighter socket for its 12 volt
output. If the generator is so equipped, then follow the
connection instructions in “Recharging with the DC
Charging Cable” on page 28.
Refer to the Owner’s Guide accompanying your generator for
instructions on connecting the generator to a unit like the Jazz
PP 300 C.
Most of the Jazz PP 300 C’s battery capacity will be
recharged in a few hours.
Important: Do not leave the Jazz PP 300 C
permanently connected to the vehicle’s lighter socket or
12 volt accessory outlet.
CAUTION
The generator output must be intended for battery
charging and have an output of 15 volts or less. An
unregulated output or one that exceeds 15 volts DC can
damage the battery.
Note: Battery Level indicators are only accurate when the
Jazz PP 300 C has been disconnected from all appliances
and all charging sources for fifteen minutes.
