INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing your new Cat® Professional Jump Starter. Read this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before using this unit.

CHARGING/RECHARGING

Lead-acid batteries require routine maintenance to ensure a full charge and long battery life. All batteries lose energy from self-discharge over time and more  rapidly at higher temperatures. Therefore, batteries need periodic charging to replace energy lost through self-discharge. When the unit is not in frequent use,  manufacturer recommends the battery be recharged at least every 30 days.

Notes: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state – you must fully charge it upon purchase and before using it for the first time for a full 40 hours or until  the green LED Battery Status Indicator lights solid.  Recharging the battery after each use will prolong battery life; frequent heavy discharges between recharges  and/or overcharging will reduce battery life. Make sure all other unit functions are turned off during recharging, as this can slow the recharging process. In some  rare cases, if the battery is overly discharged and the green LED lights immediately when the charger is plugged in, this indicates the battery is at a high  impedance stage. If this occurs, recharge the unit for a period of 24-48 hours before use.

120 VOLT AC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY

This unit has a built-in Power Inverter that provides up to 200 watts of AC power. This inverter is an electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct  current) electricity from a battery to 120 volts AC (alternating current) household power. It converts power in two stages. The first stage is a DC-to-DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter input to 145 volts DC. The second stage is a MOSFET bridge stage that converts the high  voltage DC into 120 volts, 60 Hz AC. Power Inverter Output Waveform The AC output waveform of this inverter is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of  utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment, transformers, and small motors. Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the  power consumption of the item to be operated is below 200 watts. If the power consumption is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to  determine the wattage. Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters),  which require far more wattage than the inverter can deliver. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate than do resistive loads of  the same wattage rating.

• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to determine if it produces excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with this inverter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The inverter is capable of running most chargers and transformers. Protective Features The inverter monitors the following conditions:

FAQS

Led light is all the time how to turn off

Led stays on when charging, when fully charged press power button twice and led will go off within a couple seconds.
Turns on anytime a function is used stays on until unit is turned off fully charged.

Will it run a sump pump during a power outage?

The 120VAC outlet on this jump starter is rated at 200watts maximum output. Which will run about 30 minutes to 1 hr at the maximum wattage draw and state of battery charge on the jump starter and age/number of charge cycles on internal battery.
Starting or surge wattage on a sump pump can be 6 to 10 times the running wattage. So a sump pump rated at180-200watts running could go up to 1800w to 2000w during startup. Which would overload the Jump starter capacity either damaging or shutting down the Jump Starter.

How do you recharge it?

Plug into an electrical outlet to recharge.

Is there a compartment to store the plug that charges this unit?

No. just use a Velcro strip and attach it to the handle

How many nights will this operate a cpap machine?

Suspect if could run 1 entire night, NOT worth trusting safety and medical health to this machine.
An appropriately sized inverter and charged 12v dc batteries are better backup.

How many times will it fully charge a dead cell phone? how many times will it charge camping led hanging like? how many time will it charge a dead lap

It will charge it numerous times. Battery last a long time.

How can you charge this with a solar panel?

Plug panel into charge controller, controller to inverter plug jump box into inverter. Solar panels are DC jump box requires AC to charge.
Solar panels require Charge controllers to keep 12v batteries from overcharging, inverters convert 12v dc to 20 amp 120v AC which is used to charge jump box.
