4. Once the battery is fully charged,
the built-in charger automatically
switches to float-mode monitoring,
which trickle charges the battery and
keeps it fully charged without over­
charging so the Portable Power 1150
may be left permanently connected to
the wall outlet.
The internal battery may also be charged
while you drive using just the male-to-
male accessory cable (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 accessory cable when the engine is
not running.
STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Charge the 1150 internal battery before
first use and after every use thereafter.
The internal battery will gradually self-dis­
charge (lose power) over time, especially
in warm environments. Leaving the battery
in a discharged state may result in perma­
nent battery damage. To ensure satisfac­
tory performance and avoid permanent
damage, charge the internal battery every
2 to 3 months. The Portable Power 1150
may be left permanently connected to the
AC wall outlet. Store in a cool dry place.
