Recharging Procedures

Note: Upon initial purchase, your Truck PAC should be charged for a minimum of 30 hours

There are two ways to charge the Truck PAC. The recommended method is automatic charging with the provided wall charger. An alternative method is through the DC power outlet using the provided 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord. This second method is not automatic and must be monitored because the Truck PAC could be damaged due to overcharging.

Charging using the supplied wall charger (recommended method).

This is the recommended charging method because it features automatic charging, eliminating the possibility of overcharging. With this method, the wall charger is connected to the Truck PAC through a small charging jack (pin jack), located on the front of the unit. Recharging takes approximately 4 to 6 hours for each light that does not come on when the test button is pressed. With this method, your Truck PAC can be left connected to the wall charger indefinitely.

  1. Insert the wall charger pin into the CHARGING PORT.
  2. Connect the wall charger AC/DC ADAPTOR to the AC outlet (the yellow CHARGING light will light).
  3. Allow the Truck PAC to charge until the CHARGE COMPLETE light comes on (you can monitor the progress by checking the red POWER LEVEL lights – when all three POWER LEVEL lights are lit the CHARGE COMPLETE light should come on).
  4. Once the CHARGE COMPLETE light comes on, charge another three to six hours, (three hours is acceptable, but to ensure maximum output capability, six hours is preferred).
    • Note: The CHARGING COMPLETE LED indicates that the charging process is complete. It may illuminate for a short period after the charger is unplugged from the unit due to the surface charge, but this will only occur for a short time, which is normal. To assess the unit’s readiness, monitor the Power Level LED’s.
  5. If you are not planning to use your Truck PAC right away, you may leave it connected to the wall charger. We recommend that the wall charger remain connected to the Truck PAC when not in use.

Charging using the supplied 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord.

This alternative charging method may be used when access to an AC outlet is unavailable.

  1. Start the vehicle’s engine.
  2. Plug one end of the 12 Volt Male-Male Extension Cord into the Truck PAC 12 Volt outlet and the other end into a vehicle 12 Volt outlet.
  3. Press the test button once every hour to check the POWER LEVEL. When all of the red lights and the CHARGE COMPLETE light come on, charge the Truck PAC another 1 to 2 hours to insure a complete recharge.
    • Note: The CHARGING COMPLETE LED indicates that the charging process is complete. It may illuminate for a short period after the cord is unplugged from the unit due to the surface charge, but this will only occur for a short time, which is normal. To assess the unit’s readiness, monitor the Power Level LED’s.
    • Note: DO NOT OVERCHARGE! This is not an automatic method of charging the Truck PAC. You must frequently monitor the charging process (POWER LEVEL indicators by pressing the TEST button) to ensure the unit is not overcharged. Overcharging will damage your Truck PAC.
