CHARGING/RECHARGING
Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose
energy from self-discharge over time and more rapidly when they are at higher temperatures. Therefore,
batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent
use, Black & Decker recommends the battery be recharged at least every 60 days.
Check the battery charge level by pressing the battery status button. The LED charge status display will indicate
the level of battery charge. When only one red LED lights, recharge the unit.
Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it before using it for the first time. Initial AC charge
should be for 24 hours. Recharge using the AC method for 10 hours after each use.
Recharging battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges and/or
overcharging will reduce battery life. The battery can be recharged using either the built-in AC Charger or the supplied DC
Charging Adapter (see below).
Make sure all other unit functions are turned OFF during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process.
120 Volt AC Charging/Recharging
Connect the built-in 120 Volt AC Adapter's plug into a standard North American outlet using a common
household AC extension cord (not supplied). Refer to the table in the "General Safety Warnings and
Instructions" section at the front of this Instruction Manual when selecting an extension cord. The LED will light
to indicate that the unit is charging. Time required to initially charge the unit using this method is approximately
24 hours. The LED Charging Indicator will blink when the unit is fully charged.
Notes: Make sure all functions are turned OFF during recharge as this may slow the recharging process.
The unit cannot be overcharged using this method.
12 Volt DC Charging Method
Charging the unit from an external 12 volt DC power source requires the use of the 12 Volt DC adapter. This
adapter has a male DC connector at each end.
Unlike the AC recharge method, DC recharge does NOT automatically activate the Battery Status LED display.
Battery status can be monitored by pressing the Battery Status Pushbutton.
1. Insert the gold-tipped 12 Volt DC Charging Adapter plug into the vehicle's 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
2. Insert the silver-tipped end plug into the 12 volt DC accessory outlet on the front panel of the unit.
3. Charge the unit until the green FULL indicator lights when the battery status level pushbutton is pressed. DO
NOT EXCEED 4 HOURS MAXIMUM.
4. When charging is complete, remove the charging cord and store in a safe place.
CAUTIONS:
• To reduce the risk of property damage, do not leave the unit unattended while charging using this method.
• To reduce the risk of shortening the life of the battery; do not recharge the unit using the DC method for more
than 4 hours.
Notes: Make sure all functions are turned OFF during recharge as this may slow the recharging process.
Some vehicles require that the ignition be switched to the accessory outlet position in order to power the accessory outlet.
Viewing Battery Charge Status
Press the Battery Status Pushbutton located on the unit's front panel. The three LEDs that make up the Battery
Status Display will light according to the unit's level of charge, where one light indicates the unit requires
recharging and all three lit indicates that the unit is fully charged and ready to operate.
SPOTLIGHT
The quartz halogen Spotlight is operated by the Spotlight ON/OFF Switch located on the control panel on top of
the unit (see the illustration on page 4).
LED AREA LIGHT
The 2-LED Area Light is operated by the LED Area Light ON/OFF Pushbutton located to the right of the Area
Light on the front of the unit (directly above the Spotlight).
12 VOLT DC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
This portable power source can be used with all 12 volt DC accessories equipped with a male accessory outlet
plug that are rated up to 5 amps.
1. Lift up the cover of the unit's 12 Volt DC Outlet.
2. Insert the appliance's 12 volt DC plug into the unit's 12 Volt DC Outlet. DO NOT EXCEED A 5 AMP LOAD.
