charging the battery with the AC Charger, this light will glow

amber, then change to green when the battery is fully charged.

Once fully charged, the charging circuitry automatically

switches into its charge maintenance mode.

4.3 Vehicle-Jump Start Indicators

There are two indicators that pertain to the vehicle jump-start

feature; one is labeled Battery Clips Correct and the other is

labeled Battery Clips Incorrect. When using the Jump-Start

Cables supplied, the green Battery Clips Correct light will

illuminate when the Jump-Start Cables are correctly connected

to the positive and negative terminals of the vehicle battery

you want to “boost”. If the Jump-Start Cables are not correctly

connected to the battery terminals, the red Battery Clips

Incorrect light will illuminate and the alarm will sound.
Portable Power 250 can detect a reverse polarity condition

caused by incorrectly connecting the Jump-Start Cables to a

battery and automatically cancel the flow of current through

the Jump-Start Cables. This important feature prevents

sparking at the battery terminals and potential damage to your

vehicle’s electrical system. (See Section 7.1.)

4.4 Charger Input Socket

The AC Charger supplied connects to this socket when

recharging is required. Other low power charging devices can

also be connected here. (See Sections 8.2 and 8.5 for full

details.)

4.5 DC Power Socket

The DC Power Socket is a cigarette lighter style connector used

for powering 12-volt DC auto or marine products, and for

recharging Portable Power 250 from a 12-volt outlet in a vehicle.

(See Sections 6 and 8.3.)

4.6 AC Outlet

The integrated AC inverter converts 12 volts DC (supplied by

the internal battery) to 110 volts AC. A standard 3-prong AC

outlet supplies this 110 volts AC power for running your AC

electrical products. See Section 5 for complete details on using

the AC inverter.
