Plug the extension cord into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet. 2.
The CHARGING (red) LED 3. will light indicating charging.
The CHARGED (green) LED 4. will light when the battery has reached
full charge. This could take up to 72 hours due to the age and condition
of the battery. The charger will automatically go into maintain mode and
maintain the battery at full charge without damaging it.
Charge the Instant Power™ as soon as possible after use.
5.
Do not use the Instant Power™ while charging the internal
battery.
You may also charge the internal battery while driving, using the male-to-
male charger cable (p/n 38-99-001564 – not 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 charger
cable when the engine is not running.
The CHARGING (red) LED and the CHARGED (green) LED
do not operate during this method of charging. Using this method to charge the
battery overrides the maintain mode and the battery can be overcharged.
Monitor the progress of the battery and when it reaches a full (100%) charge,
disconnect the charger. Do not leave the battery unattended or it could explode
causing property damage or personal injury.
