CHARGING. HYDROGEN GAS IS:
1. EXPLOSIVE
2. POISONOUS TO BREATHE
3. HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
• TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE THAT MAY SHORTEN THE UNITS WORKING LIFE, PROTECT THIS UNIT FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT,

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR NEW POWER PACK UNIT
RECHARGING
1. FOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOUR POWER PACK UNIT BE KEPT FULLY CHARGED AT ALL TIMES. IF THE
BATTERY IS ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN A DISCHARGED STATE, BATTERY LIFE WILL BE SHORTENED.
TABLE I SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE FREQUENCY OF USE BETWEEN RECHARGING AND THE EXPECTED NUMBER OF
CHARGE/RECHARGE CYCLES.

10 500+
2. THE TIME REQUIRED TO FULLY RECHARGE YOUR POWER BOOSTER AFTER JUMP-STARTING AN ENGINE IS A FUNCTION OF HOW
MANY JUMP-STARTS ARE PERFORMED BETWEEN RECHARGING SESSIONS. TABLE II SHOWS THE APPROXIMATE RECHARGING TIMES
YOU CAN EXPECT.
