5. Charge the unit until the green CHARGED indicator is lit when the charge status button is
pressed - DO NOT EXCEED 8 HOURS MAXIMUM.
6. After charging, disconnect the cables and store them in the cable storage hatch.
7.3 ALTERNATE DC RECHARGE
If the Inverter is removed from the main unit, the DC recharge cable can be directly connected to
the black power connector that mates with the inverter’s flat power pins. In this way, the inverter
and inverter power cable can be used away from the main unit and DC recharge can be ac-
complished. Follow the same charging time and monitor the battery charging by using the battery
status pushbutton and display.
7.4 SIMULTANEOUS DC RECHARGE AND INVERTER OPERATION
Connecting the inverter power cable and the DC recharge cable makes a heavy-duty DC-to-DC
cable that can simultaneously recharge the main unit and operate the Inverter while it is mounted
on Power City. Plug one DC plug into Power City accessory outlet and the other DC plug into a
vehicle accessory outlet. When using with AC appliances that draws over120 watts, and at the
same time the Power City’s battery is deeply discharged, this could draw more than the vehicle’s
accessory outlet fuse can handle and result in a blown fuse. Use this method with caution. Periodi-
cally monitor DC recharge using the battery status pushbutton and indicators.
