3. Insert the AC Charger cable end into the Charger Input

outlet.
4. As Portable Power 250 charges, the Recharge Indicator
will glow amber. A typical recharge may take up to 35
hours.
5. When fully charged, the Recharge Indicator changes to
green and Portable Power 250 is ready to use.
6. Once fully charged, charging current automatically
reduces to a low maintenance level and Portable Power
250 may be left permanently connected to the AC
Charger. In addition, should your utility power be
interrupted, the charging process will automatically
restart when power returns.
Note: Battery Level readings will not be accurate until the
battery has “rested” for 15 minutes after charging.
CAUTION: Do not use Portable Power 250 to operate any
AC products or DC accessories while charging with the AC
Charger.
8.3 Recharging from Your Vehicle
Using the DC Charging Cable, Portable Power 250 can be
recharged as you drive. Simply plug either end of the DC
Charging Cable into Portable Power 250’s DC Power Socket and
the other end into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket or 12-
volt accessory outlet. Most of Portable Power 250’s capacity
will be restored in 1 to 3 hours while the motor is running.
Although the charge regulation circuitry in Portable Power 250
does not operate with this charging method, most vehicle
voltage regulators will ensure Portable Power 250 is not
overcharged. This charging method must not be used with
vehicles having abnormally high voltage electrical systems that
operate above 15 volts DC. Disconnect the DC Charging Cable
from both sockets once Portable Power 250 is fully charged or
when your vehicle’s motor is not running. Do not leave
Portable Power 250 permanently connected to the vehicle’s
lighter socket or 12-volt accessory outlet.
CAUTION: While Portable Power 250 is being recharged
with the DC Charging Cable from your vehicle, do not
operate AC products over 120 Watts from the AC inverter
at the same time.
