To check the battery status, press the Battery Status Display Push-button. If the
Jump-Starter’s battery is fully discharged, it is recommended that the host
vehicle or boat’s engine being used for recharging be left operating while the
unit is being charged using the 12 Volt DC/DC method.
WARNING: DO NOT recharge main unit for more than 8 hours maximum
using 12 Volt DC method. After charging, disconnect the cables and store
them in the Cable Storage Area.
8.3 Simultaneous Recharge and Inverter Operation
