5. While the Duracell
®
Powerpack is recharging, the
Battery Status LED is red. If the Duracell
®
Powerpack
is completely discharged, a typical recharge may take
up to 24 hours. When fully charged, the Battery Status
LED changes to green and the Duracell
®
Powerpack is
ready to use.
Important: The 24-hour charging time for the Duracell
®
Powerpack assumes that there is 120 V at the AC wall
outlet. If the voltage is less than 120 V AC, it may take
more than 24 hours to fully recharge the Duracell
®
Powerpack. If, after 24 hours of charging, the Battery
Status LED is still red, continue to charge the unit for
another 12 hours. The Duracell
®
Powerpack will be ready
for use even if the Battery Status LED remains red.
Once the Duracell
®
Powerpack is fully charged, the charging
voltage and current automatically reduces to a maintenance level
and the Duracell
®
Powerpack may be left permanently connected
to the AC charger. If your utility power is interrupted, the charging
process automatically restarts when power returns.
Recharging with the DC Charging Cable
Using the DC charging cable, the Duracell
®
Powerpack can be
recharged while you drive your vehicle.
Important: Although the charge regulation circuitry in the
Duracell
®
Powerpack does not operate with this charging
method, most vehicle voltage regulators will ensure that
the Duracell
®
Powerpack is not overcharged.Note: The
Battery Status LED will not illuminate when the Duracell
®
Powerpack is recharged using the DC charging cable.
WARNING: Fire and explosion hazard
Do not use this recharging method if your vehicle has
abnormally high voltage electrical systems that operate
