FIRST AID:
SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then
wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, seek
immediate medical attention

3. CHARGING/RECHARGING
For maximum battery life, we recommend the POWER ON BOARD® system is kept
fully charged at all time. If the battery is allowed to remain in a discharged state,
battery life will be shortened.
NOTE: Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent discharges
between recharges will reduce battery life
IMPORTANT:
MAKE SURE ALL SWITCHES ARE TURNED OFF DURING RECHARGING

3.1 120 VOLT AC CHARGING
1. Simply plug the AC plug of the AC/DC adapter/charger into any standard
120 volt AC wall outlet.
2. Plug the barrel connector attached to the AC/DC adapter into the small barrel
receptacle on the jump-starter that is marked recharge port.
3.
Charge this device for at least 14-16 hours or until the green FULL indicator lights.
4. When charging is completed and the FULL light lights, remove the AC/DC charger
plug and store in a safe place.
NOTE:
The unit cannot be overcharged using the AC method. The POWER ON BOARD®
system also comes with a DC/DC charging adapter for recharging the unit from a 12
volt DC cigarette lighter or accessory socket in a vehicle or boat .
This recharging method will NOT recharge the unit as effectively as recharging from a
120 volt AC outlet. The 12 Volt DC recharging procedure is recommended only when
it is necessary, as continued use of the 12 Volt DC recharging procedure may shorten
the battery system’s life .
If unit is fully discharged, it is recommended that the vehicle being used for recharging
be left running while the unit is being charged via the 12 Volt DC method.
CAUTION:
Do not recharge for more than 3-4 hours maximum using 12 Volt DC method.
