Maintain Mode (Float Mode Monitoring)When the internal battery is fully chargedand the jump starter display shows “100”,the charger has started maintain mode. Inthis mode, the charger keeps the batteryfully charged by delivering a small currentwhen necessary. If the charger has toprovide its maximum maintain current fora continuous 12 hour period, it will go intoabort mode (see Aborted Charge). Thisis usually an indication of a bad battery;have the jump starter checked.5.4 Charging the Internal BatteryWhile DrivingYou may also charge the internal batterywhile driving, using a male-to-male chargercable (part number 94500109 – soldseparately).IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHARGE THEINTERNAL BATTERY FOR MORE THAN30 MINUTES OR LEAVE THE BATTERYUNATTENDED.

Insert the other end of the accessorycable into the vehicle’s accessoryoutlet (lighter socket).NOTE: Using this method to charge thebattery overrides the maintain mode andthe battery can be overcharged.4. Monitor the progress of the charge bypressing the Percentage of Chargebutton on the front of the unit. Do notleave the battery unattended or it couldexplode, causing property damage andpersonal injury. When the battery is fullycharged, disconnect the accessory cablefrom the jump starter, and then from thelighter socket of the vehicle.NOTE: Completely disconnect the chargercable when the engine is not running.6.
