CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
WHILE DRIVING
You may also charge the internal battery
while driving, using a male-to-male
charger cable (part number 94500109 –
not included).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHARGE
INTERNAL BATTERY FOR MORE THAN
30 MINUTES OR LEAVE THE BATTERY
UNATTENDED. IT COULD EXPLODE,
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
1. Make sure the car is running.
2. Insert one end of the accessory cable
into the 12V DC power outlet.

5. USING THE PORTABLE POWER

IMPORTANT: Using the Engine Start
feature without a battery installed in the
vehicle will damage the vehicle's electrical
system.
1. Turn the ignition OFF.
2. Lay the DC cables away from any
fan blades, belts, pulleys and other
moving parts.
3. For a negative-ground vehicle (as in
most vehicles), connect the Portable
Power's POSITIVE (RED) clamp to
the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post. Next, connect the NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp to the vehicle chassis
or engine block, away from the battery.
4. For a positive-ground vehicle, connect
the Portable Power's NEGATIVE
(BLACK) clamp to the NEGATIVE
(NEG, N, -) battery post. Next,
connect the POSITIVE (RED) clamp
to the vehicle chassis or engine block
away from the battery.
5. Turn the rotary switch to the ON
position.
6. Crank the engine for no more than
8 seconds. If the engine does not start,
wait 2 minutes before cranking again.
7. After the engine starts, turn the switch
to the OFF position and remove the
Portable Power from the battery.
8. Charge the Portable Power.
USING THE USB PORT
The USB port provides up to 2.1A at 5V DC.
1. Make sure the battery clamps are
securely clipped on the storage holders.
2. To turn on the USB, press the battery
status button. The battery status LED
will illuminate when the USB is on.
3. Plug your device into the USB port.
3. Insert the other end of the accessory
cable into the vehicle's accessory
outlet (lighter socket).
NOTE: The green and yellow/orange LEDs
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.
4. Monitor the progress of the charge by
pressing the Battery Status button on
the front of the unit. When the battery is
fully charged, disconnect the accessory
cable from the Portable Power, then
from the lighter socket of the vehicle.
NOTE: Completely disconnect the charger
cable when the engine is not running.
4. When finished using the USB port,
press the Battery Status button to turn
off the USB.

the USB will automatically shut off when
the internal battery's charge is low.

located on the front of the Portable Power.

the unit is being recharged or stored.
• Position the Portable Power on a
flat, stable surface near the intended
work area.
• Ensure the battery clamps are securely
clipped on the storage holders.
POWERING A 12V DC DEVICE
The Portable Power is a power source for
all 12V DC accessories that are equipped
with a 12V accessory plug. Use it for power
outages and on fishing or camping trips.
NOTE: Do not power a 12V device with
the Portable Power while charging the
internal battery.

(if required) and unplug from the DC
power outlet.

Power to run appliances that draw more
than 15A DC.
