CHARGING/RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Lead-acid  batteries  require  maintenance  to  maintain  a  full  charge  and 

to  ensure  good  battery  life.  All  lead-acid  batteries  suffer  from  self-dis-

charge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures.  

Therefore, these types of batteries need periodic charging to replace energy 

lost  through  self-discharge.  When  the  Battery  Pack  is  not  in  use  Vector  

recommends that the battery is recharged at least every 60 days.
All batteries must be recharged as soon as possible after each use. If a battery 

is allowed to remain in a discharged state, battery life will be reduced.

NOTE:

  Recharging  battery  after  each  use  will  prolong  battery  life; 

frequent  heavy  discharges  between  recharges  will  reduce  battery  life.  

Overcharging will reduce battery life. Never charge for more than 24 hours.
The time required to fully recharge the battery pack depends on the charge 

status of the battery after its use. If the battery is discharged from recent use 

recharge the battery for 8 hours.

5.1  AC RECHARGE OF BATTERY PACK

AC Recharge requires the use of the supplied AC/DC Adapter. The AC 

adapter  must  be  powered  from  110  volt  AC,  60  Hz  North  American  

standard  AC  receptacles.  The  battery  pack  must  be  removed  from  the  

compressor body to gain access to the recharge port.

FIGURE 4

To remove the battery pack from the compressor body for charging: Make 

sure the trigger switch is OFF. Press both battery pack release buttons at the 

same time. Pull the battery pack down away from the compressor body. Insert 

the barrel connector of the AC Adapter into the battery pack

receptacle  (Recharge  Port).  Plug  the  AC  Adapter  into  a  110  VAC  stan-

dard  household  receptacle.  Observe  the  red  LED  lights.  Charge  for  the  

recommended  time.  Do  not  overcharge!  Disconnect  and  store  the  AC  

Recharge Adapter from the battery pack and AC source when not in use.
