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.
TABLE 1. - BATTERY LIFE
NUMBER OF JUMP-STARTS BETWEEN RECHARGING
DISCHARGE AND RECHARGE CYCLES
1 1000+

700+
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.
