4.2 DC RECHARGE
Recharging the Main Unit from an external DC power source requires the use of the DC/DC
Recharge Cable. This cable has a DC connector at each end. See Figure 3B.
MAKE SURE SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH AND WORKLIGHT ARE TURNED OFF
DURING RECHARGE, THIS MAY SLOW RECHARGE OF THE MAIN BATTERY.
Unlike the AC Recharge method, DC Recharge does not automatically activate the Battery
Status Display and provide a taper charge. To check the battery status, press the Battery Status
Display Pushbutton. 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.
NOTE: The DC recharge method will recharge the unit’s battery, but the green LED may not
light if the charging source is below 12.6 volts.AC recharge is the best method.
WARNING: DO NOT RECHARGE MAIN UNIT FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS MAXIMUM
USING 12 VOLT DC METHOD. DO NOT LEAVE UNIT UNATTENDED WHILE
DC CHARGING.
1. Insert the DC Plug of the DC Recharge Adapter into a DC Recharge/Accessory socket on the
unit.
2. Plug the other DC Plug into an accessory socket in a vehicle, power supply or other 12 volt
DC source.
3. Charge the unit until the green CHARGED indicator is lit when the Charge Status Button is
pressed - DO NOT EXCEED 3 HOURS MAXIMUM.
4. After charging, disconnect the cables and store them in the Cable Storage Hatch.
