Battery meter operation
IMPORTANT: The battery meter is operated with the switch. It must be operated AT LEAST
2 minutes after the load (such as a lamp) has been switched off and when the charger is
disconnected. The battery will recover slightly and ONLY then will the battery meter give an
accurate battery state indication.
USB operation
The USB output is operated with the switch. There are 2 outputs, 2.1A and 1A. Do not leave the switch
operated if the USB in not in use as this will slowly discharge the battery.
