This Portable Power 1150 comes with a sealed, non-spillable DieHard

maintenance-free lead-acid battery. This internal battery is specifically

designed to deliver high power jump-starting as well as repetitive deep

cycling performance.

To charge the Portable Power 1150’s internal battery:

3.1

Check the internal battery’s charge level by pressing the switch marked

DISPLAY. The Digital Display will show the battery’s percentage. Charge if

under 100%

NOTE: Internal battery’s percentage is most accurate when the Portable
Power 1150 has been disconnected from all devices and charging sources

for 1 - 24 hours.

3.2

To charge, plug the (external) wall charger cord into the socket on the

back of the 1150. Then, plug the wall charger into a 120V AC source.

CAUTION: Operating the Portable Power 1150 while the internal battery is
being charged may cause permanent damage to the unit.

3.3

While the 1150 is charging, the battery’s percentage of charge will be
displayed. When the internal battery is fully charged, the display will show

100. Complete charging may take up to 48 hours. The 1150 is then ready

to use.

3.4

Once the battery is fully charged, the internal charging circuitry automati
cally switches to float-mode monitoring, which keeps the battery fully
charged without overcharging.

The internal battery may also be charged while you drive using the male-
to-male accessory cable (available separately, see “Accessories and Re

placement Parts” section of this manual). Insert one end of the accessory
cable into the 12V DC power outlet and the other end into the vehicle’s
accessory outlet (lighter socket). Completely disconnect the accessory
cable when the engine is not running.
