charging the battery with the AC Charger, this light will glow
amber, then change to green when the battery is fully charged.
Once fully charged, the charging circuitry automatically
switches into its charge maintenance mode.
4.3 Vehicle-Jump Start Indicators
There are two indicators that pertain to the vehicle jump-start
feature; one is labeled Battery Clips Correct and the other is
labeled Battery Clips Incorrect. When using the Jump-Start
Cables supplied, the green Battery Clips Correct light will
illuminate when the Jump-Start Cables are correctly connected
to the positive and negative terminals of the vehicle battery
you want to boost. If the Jump-Start Cables are not correctly
connected to the battery terminals, the red Battery Clips
Incorrect light will illuminate and the alarm will sound.
Portable Power 250 can detect a reverse polarity condition
caused by incorrectly connecting the Jump-Start Cables to a
battery and automatically cancel the flow of current through
the Jump-Start Cables. This important feature prevents
sparking at the battery terminals and potential damage to your
vehicles electrical system. (See Section 7.1.)
4.4 Charger Input Socket
The AC Charger supplied connects to this socket when
recharging is required. Other low power charging devices can
also be connected here. (See Sections 8.2 and 8.5 for full
details.)
4.5 DC Power Socket
The DC Power Socket is a cigarette lighter style connector used
for powering 12-volt DC auto or marine products, and for
recharging Portable Power 250 from a 12-volt outlet in a vehicle.
(See Sections 6 and 8.3.)
4.6 AC Outlet
The integrated AC inverter converts 12 volts DC (supplied by
the internal battery) to 110 volts AC. A standard 3-prong AC
outlet supplies this 110 volts AC power for running your AC
electrical products. See Section 5 for complete details on using
the AC inverter.
