purchaser, prorated monthly for a 12 month period from the date of purchase (with proof of purchase), and
increasing in 1/12th increments monthly up to the retail battery price set by the manufacturer. Batteries
returned with melted terminals,
due to under/over charging or misuse, will not be covered under warranty.

Portable Power Pack

IMPORTANT: Your BATTERY LEVEL can be at a HIGH CHARGE STATUS when you push
your red Battery Level Test Button . This does not necessarily indicate that the battery is
FULLY CHARGED. To be at the “Full Charge Level” the Green FULL CHARGE light on the
control panel will turn on during the charging process indicating FULL CHARGE status.
Recharging
Recharge every 30 days and after each use. Failure to do so will result in possible
damage to the internal battery and result in poor performance or failure to work at
all.
1. Plug the AC Charging Cord supplied into the 120 Volt-in connection on the back of the
Portable Power Pack.
2. Plug the other end of the cord into a 110/120-volt AC outlet.
3. The Red charging LED light will glow and will remain ON during the charging process
When the internal battery is completely full the Green FULL CHARGE LED light on the
control panel will turn on automatically. This can take up to 72 hours depending on the
condition of your internal battery. You can unplug your AC Charging Cord at this
time OR leave it plugged in indefinitely as the CUL™ listed internal charger is float
charge equipped to maintain the internal battery.

For best results when using your Portable Power Pack:
• Clean the battery terminals or posts before connecting the clamps to the vehicle battery. Use
a battery post cleaner brush to remove corrosion from the battery terminals or posts. Two Quick
Cable cleaners are recommended for cleaning terminals, posts and cables. Solutions 510420
and 510430 will neutralize the gray/white powdery corrosive material. (See quickcable.com for
more information).
WARNING
WARNING: Possible explosion hazard. Contact with battery acid may cause severe burns and blindness.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Always wear safety glasses when working with or around lead acid batteries.
• If splashed by battery acid, immediately flush the area of the splash with clean water; if a
burning sensation is felt or any blistering occurs, seek medical help. If acid is splashed in
the eyes, flush eyes with clean water continuously and seek medical help.
• All lead acid batteries generate hydrogen gas during normal operation. This process
increases during a rapid discharge period such as when using for jump-starting. Hydrogen
gas and battery acid (sulfuric acid) can be:
• Explosive • Poisonous to breathe
• Corrosive & will burn skin, eyes & hair • Highly flammable
• Damaging to unprotected metals • Damaging to natural fiber clothing
To avoid exposure to battery acid or the possibility of an explosion:
• Follow all instructions in this manual and your vehicle’s manual.
• Only use your Portable Power Pack in a well-ventilated area.
• Observe all warnings.

Charge the Rescue Portable Power Pack before use. It is best to
charge the Portable Power Pack until the full charge light on the
control panel turns on.
Please read all instructions before use.
To ensure maximum battery life, charge at least every 30 days, and
after each use. Extreme fluctuations of either hot or cold outside
temperatures may require re-charging more often.
REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
All models have an automated ON/OFF switch built into the unit. The
unit will not turn on when red polarity light is lit on the front panel.
If the red polarity light is lit you need to reverse the clamps and then
the GREEN light should be lit. It is now OK to jump the vehicle.
VOLTAGE PROTECTION
If the red voltage light is lit, you are trying to start a vehicle in the
incorrect voltage setting (12V/24V) Model 2000. Turn the switch to
the other voltage and a green light should come on and it is ok to
start vehicle. If you are using Model 2600 and the red light is on you
cannot start this vehicle with this unit.
